Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.
Feel free to add your own. I'll give two really quick.
1. This girl I'm friends with on facebook makes a post about how she is now pregnant. (She's 19 btw) obviously every random girl she is friends with on facebook felt the need to congratulate her on such an amazing accompolishment. That was midly annoying to sift through, but I understand it's a big deal and all...I just have a cold heart as of late lol.
Anyways about 2hrs later she makes a new post about being pregnant because the first wasn't enough. Awesome. Like 15 mins ago she makes ANOTHER post about it saying "Can't sleep, tummy hurts, hello prego life 😀😀"
It took every ounce of my energy not to type something extremely rude like, "we ****ing get it, your pregnant."
2. Me and my friend drive 30 mins to play beerpong with these chics we met randomly one night. 2 are definitely good looking....ones a chubbba wubba though. Ok lookin face but yeah....Anyways were all playing BP along with 2 other dudes that we didnt know would be there..( I guess I understand them wanting to have 2 of their guy friends there since we've never formally hungout, but whatever...) my friend randomly makes comments the whole time whenever the chubba wubba talks to me such as "that's all you" or "wheres your girl at" when she leaves the room.
Any clue why he feels the need to say things like that? He's always been considering kind of the **** blocking type amongst our ground of friends even if it's never negatively effected me. J/W if someone can get all psychological on me and tell me why he always does that.
When sites using two-factor authentication (SMS a code to phone), give away part of what they're sending. i.e., "enter the six-digit code you received here."
No, don't give potential hackers any clue as to the content you're sending.
No idea why this bothers me so much; only one site I use, uses something other than a six-digit code.
That should piss you off because it's bad practice, but with SMS I can understand it because a lot of those texts come from 5-digit IDs, and there's like a zillion non-techie people that will try to put that in because they think it's the code, even though the damn message says "hey *******, your code is XXXXXX". In this particular case it might be worth the smallish loss of security to not get poor Grandma confused.
You're right, GMan. OTOH, I have a financial institution that doesn't identify themselves at all in the text. When I'm doing something like updating Quicken, and have multiple 2FAs coming, I just have to know "oh this is that one, cuz all the others are identified."
Oh, also that Schwab's "1099 tracking center" or whatever it's called lists expected date as February 14.
Pretty sure the IRS specifies these documents are due to the recipients by January 31.
Generally, 1099s from investments are due out by February 15. This year with the weekend and holiday, it's Feb. 18.
Yeah, 1099's I'm sending out just have to be postmarked by 1/31, pretty sure.
I downloaded my 1099-R from them on Jan 10, golddog.
Maybe you did something that pissed them off but it shouldn't have 😃

Nope. Document will be available 02/14/2025. NBD, as I'll owe and won't file until April 15; hence why it shouldn't PMO.

All of this is true.

LOL, Sonny!
Have a heart, man! Accountants and tax preparation software developers have families they need to support. You can't just put that many people out on the streets all of a sudden.
I can't tell if the couple in the room next to me is having sex or throwing up while the other one struggles to poop.
Meh, nevermind, it could be both and it's working for me either way.
Perhaps there are two couples ...
1099's...
I fondly remember the good old years when royalties flowed like a river of wine...
Royalties? I get dividends and interest, would be interested to hear about that aspect.
Yeah... embarrassing but true.
Decades ago when I worked in the apparel industry, I was generating substantial ongoing revenue in the form of Royalties for usage of my designs and applications.
Similarly, if I did side work for other companies, I would get paid for freelancing... it's an old story from my past existence.
Later, when I started designing high end flooring, I wouldn't generate royalties but I would generate commissions on projects.
In those situations, 1099's were on top of my existing salary.
judging the way people make 'their mark'.

My signature looks like it is from a doctor with epilepsy and Tourette's
A physician I knew years ago said he once was on the stand in court and asked to verify if a signature in a medical file was his. It obviously was, so he had to admit it was. The result was an outcome unfavorable to his patient. He said he vowed to never be in that position again, so his signature became totally illegible and a bit variable.
That made a lot of sense to me at the time. My signature soon became a Rorschach exam card. My handwriting has never been decipherable by anyone without a lot of patience.
my signature is a brief horizontal squiggly line somewhat looking like an inverted nike swoosh drawn during an earthquake
gets me a lot of flak at some border crossings, but otherwise have no regrets at the efficient speed of signing docs
I either do the squiggle or sometimes just an x as if I'm illiterate. Long ago when people actually signed things I mostly signed as Bugs Bunny. No one ever noticed.
My nitwit freshman roommate and his equally nitwit friend came up with this scheme:
Go in the dining hall, grab some books from the shelf, go outside and drop them, walk around the dining hall, pick them up, then return them to the bookstore, pocketing the cash.
,
See, that way, you could claim you found them, and it totally wasn't a crime.
Of course, back in those days, nothing was electronic. When you sold last semester's books back, you simply signed your name in a notebook.
So these geniuses signed their real name. When the real owners reported stolen books , the bookstore looked at the list and turned the campus police on to my roommate.
On the plus side, it was nice to have a room to myself for most of the spring semester.
You had books in the dining hall? My school used what they called a library.
