    A 9% penalty because I paid my property tax a whopping 7 days late is nothing but a disgusting cash grab by the county.

    Ouch. That's brutal. We pay ours monthly by direct withdrawal so no penalties, but property taxes in GP are

    They're too damn high everywhere. I personally think property taxation is in need of a major overhaul. For one, if I invest in stocks I don't get hit with taxes for gains until I sell or profit in some way (dividends) from the investment. Yet with a house, just because someone pays triple for a house down the street, all of a sudden MY taxes go up based on some fictional perceived "value" of my home - a value which has put exactly $0.00 of profit in my pocket. It's total bullshit. Even though it's claimed to be an asset, until it sells I see a house as a necessary liability (shelter being a need, not a want). I have to pay every month to live in it, whether that be utilities, taxes, or maintenance and upkeep. You try to be responsible, plan, budget, and purchase a home you can afford only to eventually be taxed out of it because the outsiders moving in think $500/sq ft is a bargain and spent more $ than you did to buy into your neighborhood.

    We won't even touch on the ridiculous amount of money the school districts waste (gotta have that $100 million football stadium, not to mention big$ salary for coach and the administrators while teachers are left to fight over what little bit is left, but I digress...) and why I attended school for 12 years but have to pay taxes to school districts for my entire life, even though I never had any kids.

    Ouch. I get a 4% discount by paying my property tax in fu before the due date. Easy to remember as my due date is my birthday.

    Something that annoys me is how gullible American men are/are perceived to be.
    Not gonna lie, went on a dating site out of boredom and was talking to a 29yr old from the Philippines. Took 2 days for her to ask for "help" aka $$$$.
    C'mon, 2 day? Do we American men really fall for that crap?

    I still have a mortgage, so the bank makes the payment, unless they do it differently in Canada.






    I'm going to try to skate around this as it could be seen as political (note to Mods, not trying to be political at all, don't ban me :D), but owning a home that has decent value equals being richer than others which equals (in certain thinking) a greater ability and need for you to pay more to supplement other, poorer, people.

    I had that option but they charged a small fee to do it. Made no sense when I can have auto withdrawal to the city. All my bills are auto-withdrawal actually, most on the credit card but insurance, mortgage and property taxes are directly from the bank account..

    Mine's a 10% penalty if I'm late. Just now have it arranged so it comes out of the checking account every month. Oh, and just got hit with a > 25% increase this year. Great. That just frosted my gazingas.

    I liked your comment, but I don't like it.
    I mean, seriously, wait until we are married and I am already supporting your family. Then kill me for the insurance money, at least that will give me a little bit of enjoyment and dignity.

    That's an option here but not mandatory. Like I need some greedy middleman putting his grubby paws on the money I'm already giving to the greedy tax man?

    I can track with you on initial purchase price. But let's be hypothetical about the average American. Let's say a family makes the average wage (what is that $60k / year?). And this average family bought an average home for ($150k ?).

    Now they've lived there for 10 years, and after 10 years of average wage raises (2%), they now make $73,000. But their home is now worth $300,000. Does that mean they can afford a $300,000 home? No, of course not. But they are being penalized via taxation as if they could, simply because their neighbors spent $300k.

    I do understand the argument that when they sell, they likely will not incur a tax debt due to the sale (depending on tax codes in the area). And I would argue that at the time of sale is when tax values should be set, and if that means some kind of tax on gains, then so be it. At least that is more fair as it is based on $ put in my pocket.

    I agree with you 100%, I bought my house 22 years ago for 1/4-1/5 what the current prices on my block are, and I have had the same increase in property tax all while making the same or less and it sucks. I would elaborate further, but like I said, I don't want to get banned for talking politics.

    Pretty much identical in my civvie work place. Just instead of hand grenade, IED is the violence of choice. Also, the step about asking an armorer is differnent. It's "Tell manager you need to bump off work early to gather materials and create IED".

    The Dirty T

    We don't have to print them, the system adds the completion date and test score to your transcript.

    Except when it doesn't (more often than you would think) so you have to take the training again. So now here is how I do it.

    1. Log in to training site.
    2. Go to "Library"
    3. Search under required training, find nothing.
    4. Go back to email that states which training you need to do, copy code.
    5. Go back to your library, paste and search.
    6. Hope the correct training pops up.
    7. Click launch content.
    8. Remember to enable pop-up for the site, relaunch training.
    9. Click yes, delete old records if it's a yearly training.
    10. Hope like hell that you can click right to the test at the end, realize that no, you must watch the whole damned thing.
    11. Try not to fall asleep.
    12. Take test.
    13. Hopefully pass, because you didn't pay attention.
    14. Pass the test, but don't hit complete until you take a screen shot of the test results.
    15. Click complete course.
    16. Check transcript, see that it did not record your score.
    17. Email the screen shot to the training department.
    18. Wait until they email you back saying they fixed it.
    19. Save the email.
    20. Wait until you get an email saying that you are now late for completing said training.
    21. Respond to this email with the screen shot and their original email saying that they fixed it.
    22. Rinse and repeat.

    We get monthly "learning update" emails and this tip is in there every month.

    My old company would let you challenge the test on a recertification.

    Microsoft Teams meetings and work from home can fuck right off.

    1. There's no reason for it. Everyone is here, get everyone together in a room. If people working from home are important enough to be in the meeting, they're important enough to be on site. Get their asses in the office where it belongs.

    2. They've been a thing for how long now and your dumb ass still can't remember to unmute when talking, you still haven't bought even a $30 set of headphones so you can hear us and we can hear you, and you still haven't figured out the most rudimentary of tech skills to operate the system. Clearly you're incapable of managing basic technology so get your ass in the office where it belongs.

    3. Wait until the person talking has finished before you open your big mouth. Normal human conversation patterns are royally fucked up by online delay. Learn this. Understand this. Adapt. Either that or get your ass in the office where it belongs.

    4. Don't open with "hey this is so and so...". We know. Your name is displayed and lights up.

    5. Turn off your camera. Showing your face adds zero value, we don't need to see you picking your nose and you're ugly. If you really think it's important to show your face, get your ass in the office where it belongs.

    6. Everyone does this, but engineers in particular: Once an idea is presented, unless you're actually proposing a legitimate change to it you need to shut. the. fuck. up. We don't need to hear you present the same idea worded a slightly different way just to try and preen your fragile ego. If the idea is to move the red ball from point A to point B, I don't need you to chime in with "hey, we should get the ball that is red and relocate it to point B from point A".

    7. If you have a heavy accent, take that into consideration. Once again, online delays and quality fuck with normal conversation. Slow down. Enunciate. Or get your ass in the office where it belongs.

    8. Solve all these problems by deleting Teams and getting your ass in the office where it belongs. Fuck teams. Fuck work from home people. This shit might work in 100% online jobs like software or something, but it's completely unacceptable for a construction job.

    As far as I'm concerned, if it can be covered in a team's meeting, then it can be covered in an email. Sick of this too and I don't even have a desk/office job. Someone always has their mic on and their dog starts barking or a marching band is going through their living room, whatever...

    Fuck teams meetings.

    I'm bro crushing so hard right now. :anonymous:


    The only one I would disagree with at all is number 4, and ONLY because our meetings are frequently with people I don't interact with and so I don't know their voice. I have to observe other things than the teams screen when these go on, so the strictly visual cue of the name lighting up doesn't work in my situation. Still, 99.999999% agree. :fistbump:
