      We don’t know that was why they denied it, this could be shadenfreud (sp?) because they would be denied regardless.

      At least I choose to believe that, because I can’t imagine being petty enough to do that.

        I assume that was the case because it isn’t really a human decision anymore. Whether a mortgage application is accepted or denied is based on the decision of a computer, the human just informs you the computer’s decision.

      Right? “Made me cry on a school trip” (for reasons that I’m sure we’re totally out of line on the teacher’s part and omitted just for brevity’s sake)

          Dawn, imagine being so ugly that there is no career path that is in line with your personality available.

            I’m thinking about the teachers I had in school and trying to work out what they would be doing if they couldn’t have been teachers.

            Some of them definitely would have worked in HR. Being the teacher was their access to a world of petty vindictiveness where they were absolute rulers and could do whatever they wanted.

              several of the teachers at my school were retired lawyers or other professionals. Most were there with masters and by choice. (Public school, for the record). Not everyone’s district pays them so little

      Oh my god, yes. Your best victory is the victory of succeeding at something and moving the fuck on with your life if you can. People are shitty. Our environment is shitty. It is what it is. Keep trucking. I am a product of my environment, but I can control some of it. In my opinion, chasing your goals, time and distance is a solution for all social ills. Well maybe not all but I mean shit you gotta try
