Wondering.....

Why does it take 7-10 days to be removed from an Internet mailing address?

Why does it take 10-14 weeks to get a rebate?

Why is the background music on some commercials so loud that you can't hear what the commercial is advertising? And so loud on some TV programs that you can't hear the dialog? I'm not talking about scenes taking place in bars and clubs where loud music may be appropriate. I mean in scenes where the music is denoting that something is afoot...danger ahead...you get the idea.

Why is it that some commercials have to raise the sound levels to high that I'm scrambling to find the remote so I can turn the sound down before the neighbors start complaining?

Why do you have to call customer service to stop a bank savings program that was started online? The checking account the money comes from is being closed without problem, but the savings account can't be closed until this program is closed. There won't be any money coming into the savings account because the checking account is being closed. Doesn't it make sense that the savings account should be closed?

Why do some companies make it so difficult to do simple things?

Why do Internet companies continue to have a feedback address if they want you to go to their forum for answers?

Why do I allow these minor frustrations put me into a "mood" where the next frustration makes me say, "Oh, no you did not!" when I would otherwise say, "Oh, bother"?

And on another note....

Why did I forget to take the old VCR to the E-Scrap collection site when I remembered everything else? Now they'll be in my way for another month!

Why did I not get some of the larger items I wanted to take to Goodwill together so they could all go at one time?

Will the weather ever cool off enough for me to clean the van out so I can donate it to Purple Heart Vets? I need to get that van gone!

Why didn't I remember to get a printer cartridge when I was at Walmart yesterday?
