Bastard Institutions

The following list is created to spread the word on my negative experiences with them:

1. U_M_U_C. Don't even bother looking this one up. First of all, this place of higher learning sucks. If you're about to go to school, find another institution. You'd rather become a circus act than a student here; you'd surely get more respect. One day you've signed up and the next thing you know, your drunken instructor falls off the train and has to cancel your class. True story. You finally get through the majority of your classes, then get to your final credits and they're sucking your wallet dry and bending you over at the same time. It seems like the closer you get to completing your requirements, the less they want to help. Or maybe that's just because they only have lazy employees that only have a certification in transferring calls.

2. United Airlines. I'm not sure, but these morons probably never learned how to color within the lines. "Fly the friendly skies"? How about "Get shit on by all United ground personnel"? Yes, that sounds more like it. I wrote a 2-page letter (single-spaced in small font) about my crap experience and mailed it in March. To this date, I have a case pending review at United Customer Relations. Will update with the results of that... 15 years from now when the company is defunct because of its sh1tty service. Do me a favor - Next time you make travel plans, don't buy the cheapest tickets if they're offered by United.

3. New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (NYSDTF). Don't get me started on this one...it might take me three years. That's because for the past three years, NYSDTF has either been extremely tardy on my tax returns, or as is the case this year, did not receive my tax return. That means that the a$$h0les "lost" it and didn't want to do the right thing and just find it. It's probably sitting on some schlep's desk right now, underneath his sticky pocket porn. Wrote the Commissioner directly and demanded resolution on this issue. Still no word almost three months after I sent the original state tax return packet. Will update when I find out what's up.

Just had to get that out in the open. In order, my personal solution to each problem is:

1. Graduate and move the hell on.
2. P!ss on United's help desk.
3. Move the hell out of New York State like the rest of sensible humanity already has. The Yankees are about the only thing we have that isn't taxed.
