People who stop a microwave before it's done, and don't reset the time. You look to see what time it is, and the clock says 0:45

OMG am I the only person on earth who thinks Justin Timberlake is creepy and not even bordering on attractive. He looks like the kind of guy who would hang out in this bar uptown that attracts some questionable humans. I mean, I question that they're human.

And Sheldon, you're too funny.

Yes, Justin Timberlake tops my list of annoyances. Brought sexy back my ass.

  • Scarlett Johansson
I would do all of those women...but I would put tape over Britney's mouth.

Please. Get your ass to the local credit union immediately. Any credit union. Here in the upper left hand corner, the membership rules are extremely lax. You can find one, and "pay yourself" those fees.

My credit union requires, (which is the legal requirement) that you live, work or pray in this county. Walk in and pray for an account.

I have noticed, however, the credit unions with new laws and expanded territory, are starting to act more like banks than they used to.

I did - a long time ago.

The trouble is, once banks started charging fees, many other places started doing the same. Including some credit unions.

And the most annoying thing is that you can't charge the banks fees when THEY stuff up. Oh would I love to slap the bank a $40 fee every time they make a mistake like depositing the cheque in the wrong account!

The fee schedule I would like to see:
Bank deposits cheque in wrong account ... $40 (if details were correct on deposit slip)
Cheque bounces because bank deposited cheque in wrong account ... $100 (if details were correct on deposit slip)
Document handling fee for promotional brochures received in mail ... $5 per page ($10 minimum)
Bank places your information on a mailing list ... $30 listing fee
Bank sells your personal information to a third party ... $10 disclosure fee

I think Americans have a good term for what bank fees are like - "nickled and dimed".
