In the mid-eighties I was opening a restaurant and was applying for a liquor license. Day one I was given a form to fill out and return in a few days. I did that. Then I was handed a second form to fill out and return in a few days. I did that also. Then form three and return in a few days. I asked "How many forms are there?" She replied "Eight!". I said "Great! Why don't you just give me the next five and we can suss this up!" No can do. "There is a process Sir!". I had partners I had a fiduciary responsibility to and my own investment, so I could not burn this bridge. Anger Management! Finally, the day arrived when I would receive Form Eight. She hands me a simple sheet of graph paper. Makes a X on the center grid. X is my restaurant. Tells me to draw a map showing all schools and churches within a quarter mile of my spot. Anger management techniques are failing. I said "So! If I just go out in the parking lot and make shit up, You're going to know it! Aren't you?!" She said "Yes". Me: "That's because you already know where the things are, don't you?!". "Sir! If you don't calm down I am going to call security!". Fucking Pencil Pushers!

I once had a small insurance claim. They snail-mailed me the necessary forms, one of which instructed me to ‘Check this box if you need assistance filling in this form’.
I’m doing this at my house. They won’t get the forms in the mail for at least three days. What would be the fucking point of ticking the box??

Years ago I got a letter from a super fund I'd forgotten about.
They we're writing to tell me that I could take all of the money out of my fund before retirement if it was under $500.00
The balance was $500.10

I call the credit score my “ I love debt“ score. After years above 800 I paid off all my debt and now it’s really low. All it tracks is how well u regularly pay off debt to qualify risk to banks. Opening all your own shit to put up for collateral, Dropping a fat down payment, we’re having a high debt to income ratio negates the need for a Credit score
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

In New Zealand if you overpay your income tax, Inland Revenue are required to return the overage by the same method with which you paid (they don’t apply the overage to next year’s taxes). We have a friend who deliberately overpays by mail every year in the amount of $1.29. It costs $1.30 in postage for the government to mail him his paper check.

It costs a lot more than the $1.30 in overhead with all those asses that are warming chairs. It's a good thing not a lot of people do that, because it's a real waste of taxpayer's money. Even if it does make him some sort of happy.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
