Thumbs down Reality hits. Hard.

Went to the bank this afternoon and the line for the drive up ATM was extremely long, on a rare occasion I decided to go to the teller. As I was pissier and pissier because they had one teller helping someone, another teller assigned to lock boxes sitting with his thumb up his ass and stairing at me, I observed a manager in the phone and an elderly couple sitting across from her.

In my 5 minutes I was losing my patients at the line I overheard the manager "these people just want to know if they can enter the house and collect their belongings"

Put my ass right back into reality.

IRS Agent: [to Happy] Mrs. Gilmore owes the IRS two hundred and seventy thousand dollars in back taxes. We have to take the house. And if you can't get the money together in ninety days, we're gonna have to sell the house to someone else.

Happy Gilmore: But she's an old lady. I mean, look at her. She's old. You can't just take her stuff. She's too old.

IRS Agent: I'm sorry, I have no discretion. Her stuff is now our stuff.

Aaaaaaaannnnnnnnnddddddd that made my day. If we had a thumbs up option, I'd of clicked it

On a more saddening note, I'm sure they aren't the only ones. I'm sure there's people out there that has lived in a home for 30-40 years, only to be kicked out. I can only imagine the helpless feeling that occurs when someone coems up to you and says you can't live here no more.

It is a sad reality, me n my family have been goin threw similar troubles but not on that scale. After my moms passing last year we were left loads of medical bills so its been tuff.

Some times its not from being "careless" but more from the unexpected

Wayfast, why do you think some of us(especially the older, more experience members) were telling you to chill out with the wanting to take on a car payment at such a young age?

That sucks. I've been around in homeless shelters and soup kitchens since I was little(my mom always volunteered) and it is something I'll never forget, all the kids and families moving from place to place every week.

No matter how tough **** gets, I always thin of how much worse it could get if I didn't have a home.
