As you read in this thread: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=74992](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=74992) I had a bad week last week. But it just won’t fucking end! Can anyone do their jobs right? Are all Americans experts at incompetence? Yesterday my wife called me at work: “What’s with the mortgage payment? We just got a letter saying our payment for June is late!” What!:eek: I paid ahead until July. What the fuck!? So I call the bank. They insist they did not receive Junes payment. I look in the check book. Check book says I sent a check in April for April through July’s payment. My wife looks through the payment coupons. Junes isn’t there. We must have sent it. I call the bank again. They insist they have no June payment. If we don’t pay it by the 1st of July it will go on our credit report. We have excellent credit, I don’t want that tarnished! I tell them I want a copy of my old canceled checks ASAP. I pick up the copy this morning! **SURE AS MOTHER FUCKING SHIT! THERE IS THE CANCELED CHECK FOR JUNE!** :mad::mad::mad: "Oops. Tee Hee. Seems the employee who handled our account didn’t enter our payment for June, even though the bank cashed the check! La de da! All’s okay. Like hell all’s ok! their mistake nearly cost me an extra $950 and/or my perfect credit rating! Then when I asked what they were going to do about it, the said “Nothing. What do you expect us to do?” La de da. This was not the week for them to fuck up. I’m sooooooooooooooo fucking craby this week. Can anyone do their fucking job right? ---

Hey, I forgot to mention this: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=73779](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=73779) Son of a bitch. I’m really having a bad month! Is everyone incompetent, or are they all out to get me. What did I do? Jeez! ---

Wow. Let me guess…your hobbies include breaking mirrors and walking under ladders, right? The good news is now I know where all my bad luck went. I hope all this evens out for you. Maybe you have some **really** good luck coming up soon. ---

Just as bad in Australia. I’ve had loan repayments not show up as well. These days, the majority of transactions I undertake will involve at the very least a minor cock-up. I order a drink in a restaurant. I just _know_ it will never arrive (of course it will be on my bill). I open an internet account and they give me a wrong access number. A tradesman tells me he’ll arrive at 9am, he comes at 4:45pm - another whole day sunk. I am about to step on an express train when an announcement comes, _this train stops ALL STATIONS to…_. “News to me!”, I hear the train driver say. More often than not I find that my salary has been miscalculated (no prizes for guessing which way). Things that should require one phone call to a company or business agency need four or five. I had to call my landlord _seven_ (count them) times for as simple a thing as having an element replaced in my oven. And there’s never an apology. At least the Dope never runs sl… :eek: ---

Shit, **TLD** , at least you Ozzies got VB at domestic prices, the Cosmic Psychos, and the Onyas. Today, my car insurance premiums went up $300, and the space, period, and enter keys on my 1 week old notebook decided to stop working.
