    I can't tell if you're delusional, trolling, or traumatized from a bad experience with an irate customer.

    All he said was he tried to call all morning and nobody ever answered and nobody returned his calls. So he went down there. He didn't say anything about demanding anything, that's you projecting. You and I will obviously never see eye to eye on this.

    Yes wormie, you are correct. People in general cherish being ignored. Especially when they have a problem or a question that needs answering. You don't even realize you're exacerbating the issue. The fact that you are running a successful business with that attitude speaks volumes to how fucked...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'd say it has more to do with how bitter people become when something they were hoping might be forever turns into shit and ends. I don't think it's as much "This person was always crazy and you just ignored it" as "This situation is making this person lash out and act crazy" Immature is...

    You're lack of understanding of human nature and how a business is supposed to operate (e.g., answering the phone) is the only thing showing here.

    I'm not sure where you get "temper-tantrum" and "acting like a douche" from him simply driving down to an office to get an answer because they literally were not answering the phone: Answer the fucking phone like a normal business operated by decent, reasonable human beings. Elurin and customers...

    Well, when I read that post I don't read it as Elurin calling the escrow company, I read it as Eluring calling the loan officer asking about the escrow status. Mainly because how would he have even gotten the escrow company number? If people do call you and start complaining in an agitated tone...

    Well maybe I missed it in context but that seems like an entirely new argument you're making now. One person goes down the chain a bit to get answers and that's what your focusing on? I thought we were talking about how terrible the entire process is, and how so many people have such rotten...

    You are completely disconnected from reality. It's ridiculous how sorry you feel for yourself and your colleagues. And you still are entirely missing the point. The person we as the homebuyer have contact with is in charge of making sure all those things get sorted out. When that person...

    The first season was every bit as good as Silicon Valley. It fell off in my opinion in season 2 and I stopped watching it. Maybe I should catch up.

    Major bugs passing through to production environments after having been signed off on by QA is not a developer problem. It's very clearly a QA problem. Otherwise what's the point of even having QA staff?

    You just don't have a very good sarcasm detector. But women really aren't as fun to hang out with if you like doing anything athletic. That's just physiology at work.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Of course women don't leave until they find a new man. Women are boring as shit. I bet every single guy in this thread would never hang out with women again if they were celibate. Women don't even like hanging out with other women for more than a few hours at a time.

    Yes, there are underwriters, title search companies, attorneys, etc etc etc. The loan officer is in charge of managing all that shit for you, it's why you're paying them, and they are the ones who delayed shit by losing my documents, asking me to re-submit, waiting until the 11th hour etc etc...

    Just made some short ribs bros. Seared then braised. Garlic, tomato paste, Cabernet reduction, beef broth. Garnished with pan fried pancetta and mushrooms. Side: roasted brussel sprouts with more pancetta, tossed in a balsamic reduction.

    You seem to be discounting the fact that the people in question here who are complaining are close to their deadlines and aren't hearing anything back. Meaning if they don't call and complain there is a good chance their rate lock will expire which just lengthens the process. The loan...

    Wormie is the only one here who thinks he's a special snowflake. He doesn't seem to realize that people will want to be able to get a person on the phone when making the single biggest purchase they will probably make in their entire lives. One that can drastically change the outcome of their...

    I wish I wasn't forced to watch this in 3D since no theatres around here were showing it in 2D. The 3D was not very well done, definitely detracted from the experience.

    The level 80 damage specific legendaries beat out the level 80 gungnir pretty much across the board now for single damage type heros. The level 70 gungnir still beats all other level 70s except for power cosmic for hybrids.

    So I finally geared up my SW, got her the lvl 80 warlock's eye, and prestiged her through orange. She is the most OP hero in the game right now. No spirit issues, tanky, ranged, top tier damage and can just delete non boss shit off the map.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    It's very common. It's also a very bad idea. But it's so much cheaper to outsource QA to India a lot of companies end up doing it anyway. QA staff should be part of the design process so they know what to expect when it's time to test. They should also be involved with the BAs to figure out...

    Appropriate thread I think. I was in NYC last weekend walking in Midtown around 5pm when some tourist who didn't realize there was a bike lane stepped RIGHT in front of a guy who was moving at a pretty good clip and wrecked them both. Both were bleeding pretty good, was a bad crash.

    Matthew McConaughey - IMDb There are more than 1 or 2 good movies in his filmography list. You are right that he did that whole "stoner hearthrob" schtick in a lot of his movies but he also played some roles with a lot of chops. People just remember the rom-coms more. I agree that he had a...

    He was always a great actor. His "problem" was he did great movies mixed in with rom-coms. He stopped doing the rom-coms and now people are paying more attention to the other great roles, roles he's always played (A Time To Kill was released in 96)

    I've never had trouble losing weight. I lose it at what I would consider a normal rate, no issues there. But I do have an impossible time maintaining any weight. I gain weight so fucking fast and then concentrate on losing then regain, it's a vicious cycle!
