Re: The cranky thread
I really hate it when I get phone calls right after a dialysis treatment from people asking me to do things. I'm usually so wiped out I can barely remember my name, much less something I agreed to do over the phone in that state.
So, months ago, I sold my kinda-junker old Chevy Blazer to my brother, 'cause I couldn't afford to keep it up. He was basically going to let his kids tear it up learning to drive (whatever) ... but, he never filed the paperwork to actually transfer ownership, and now he's missed the deadline. I'm supposed to file for a lost title, because otherwise he'll have to pay a penalty. Now, I've gotten some tax information I needed, and the truck is not on my property tax for this year, which means I don't even know if I *can* apply for the lost title, and if I do, that probably means it'll go on my taxes, so I'll have to pay a penalty AND property tax on it, and I'm willing to bet he's going to flake on me if I try to tell him he's gonna have to repay me for the taxes on it, too.
If I had been mentally coherent, I would have just told him that paying that penalty was his problem.
