The new and improved Good Morning thread!

Good morning, aggravated,, i have an old brokerage account that i started 30+ years ago when I was first married, with $1000 and I played with it over the years, learning things along the way,, how to lose mainly lol... i THINK i put around 8k in it total. but its now worth 29K,, I was looking at it the other day and had to do the whole forgot user ID /reset password thing and all that bs but eventually got on it and saw that they were charging me $150 per year to "manage" that account,, basically its a mutual fund and 1 stock.. and Ive never had a phone call effectively "managing" anything.. so I called them and the guy told me that I could change it to a self directed brokerage account and have no fee and enjoy zero dollar online trades.. i said yes please do that,,
well it turns out i have to sign something to make that happen, ok, they can do a docu-sign,, great,, oh wait, my ex wife is a co owner so she has to sign too.. shouldnt be a problem just send it to her email for docusign too ,, we cant do that we dont have her email on file.. i can give it to you, thats not allowed.. we can email you the form and youll have to get physical signatures.. sigh, ok, do that,, well, they email me a link that requires another login/password to access the form.. FUCK!! I REALLY DONT LIKE PEOPLE ANYMORE!

I just read this and i’m pissed and frustrated and since it is night, I may find myself in the drinking thread.
 
Good morning everyone. Yesterday afternoon my wife caused a very minor fender bender with no injuries and about $2000 damage which will cost us our $500 deductible for a new grill. She was in tears when she called, "I wrecked the car and it only has 3700 miles on it." She was almost panicked so I interrupted her with, "Honey, keep in mind that the only reason you wrecked a low mileage car is because I totaled ours and two others with it in January."
