I've heard a lot of stupid ****ing things in my time. I guess the two that stick out in my mind the most at the moment and are causing my head to nearly explode to the point that my ears are ringing from the rise in blood pressure, are these two.
1. From a very well know door and window manufacturer.
"In thirty years I have never seen the interlocks on a patio door deteriorate, perhaps you should have started with a new door."
The above statement was from the representative in an email I received this morning ... which is
one year and 6 months after he came to my home, told me the interlock seals were bad, we were well within the warranty, and I would have the replacement parts within
2 weeks ... which I still haven't got
one year and 5.5 months after he said I would.
2. My phone call to the IRS 30 days ago after I got a notice that I'm being audited
FOR THE THIRD TIME because my X-wife keeps claiming our daughter as a dependent when she knows that she is not legally able to claim her per our divorce agreement.
Bub to IRS agent, "Every year I send in a copy of my divorce papers showing I am legally allowed to claim my daughter as a dependent. Every year my x-wife
illegally claims her as well. Why does this keep happening and why do you keep allowing her to do this and why do you keep auditing me
?!?!? AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IRS (Internal **** Services), "I'm sorry sir, we don't have access to your federal tax returns.
Bub to IRS agent, "But you're the freaking IRS?!"
IRS (Internal **** Services), "I'm sorry sir, that's a different division of the IRS and because of security we are not allowed to view your returns or any documentation you send in with them. This division automatically gets notified when two or more people claim the same social security number on their federal tax return as a dependent and it triggers an automated request for us to audit all parties.
Bub to IRS agent, "But why do you keep allowing her to do this?!?!?!?!?!?!?! IT'S FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'VE SENT YOU THE DOCUMENTATION TWICE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THIS A THIRD TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IRS (Internal **** Services), "I'm sorry sir, we have no control over what other people do and if you continue to yell I can't continue to help you."
Bub to IRS agent, "HELP ME?!!! YOU'RE AUDITING ME BECAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSE'S FRAUDULENT BEHAVIOR THAT I'VE GIVEN YOU PROOF OF THREE TIMES!"
IRS (Internal **** Services), "I'm sorry sir, we cannot continue to have a conversation if you are going to be unreasonable."
UPDATE: Oh ... I forgot the best part .........
IRS (Internal **** Services), "In order to help you sir we will need a copy of your entire divorce agreement, your 2009 federal tax returns, a copy of your child support order from the court, and proof that you haven't been in arrears in your child support.
Bub to IRS agent, "BUT YOU JUST SAID YOU CANT LOOK AT MY FEDERAL TAX RETURNS BECAUSE OF SECURITY REASONS WHICH IS WHY THIS HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE AND NOW YOU'RE ASKING ME FOR A COPY!?!?!?!?! WHAT THE ***K?
IRS (Internal **** Services), *cLiCk*
And you guy's wonder why I'm always so cynical. It's just a never ending barrage of ignorance that I seem to get thrown at me.
Oh omnipotent one in the sky ... I'm sorry ok man? Whatever I did, I'm really sorry and I swear I'll never do it again. I'm on my knees, please stop. Ok? LOL!
Thanks,
Bub.
