I lost out on the house with my name on it because of four stupid women, including my wife, that I’m trying to be polite to instead of telling them to STFU, get their thumbs out of their asses, and get to work. Men have been the same freaking idiots on other houses, and in greater frequency, so it’s not a gender thing. When this bubble bursts and these uneducated, spoiled ingrates are broke and eating dog food, it will be a great day, and I can’t believe I’m saying it. The worst rot and decay in America is today’s realtor, broker, lender, builder, and insurer. They love this tragedy and have bilked America permanently out of it’s treasure. Scumbags.

I’m taking a break for awhile. I’m so f’ing pissed off that normal stuff like hobbies and interests are just making even madder thinking about.

See ya soon!

I'm not sure what's going on, nor is it my place to ask and this isn't the place to air it out, but I hope it passes and you can return to some kind of normalcy.

Sorry to hear that. I suspect that incompetence, greed and duplicity are evenly distributed across society. I can get pretty pissed off when I see it, particularly among professionals you would like to be able to trust. IMO, A robber with a gun is in some ways more honorable than a dentist who drains your account with unnecessary work. We are lucky to have a good real estate agent here in DFW.

My sympathies, Robotaz. Unfortunately, stupidity and incompetence lurk behind most closed doors, and we can only hope that we have taken enough precautions to protect ourselves.

Saw on a bumper sticker today: "Please be patient, learning to drive a stick shift"

I smiled because I drive, and love driving, a stick shift.

Best bumper sticker I ever saw was:

PASS WITH CARE. DRIVER CHEWS TOBACCO.

Well the past 2-3 weeks in the housing market have shown that as I was losing my mind we were at the very pinnacle of insanity, so I feel less insane at this point.

More houses are coming onto the market as greedy sellers realize the gold mine will end soon, hyped up “coming soon” houses with two days of showings and ridiculous restrictions put on buyers are now sitting instead of selling over, and overpriced pieces of junk and greed-driven shoot-for-the-moon sales prices are being reduced 10%+ repeatedly.

Oh how the tides have turned. Won’t be long and millions of crazy idiots are going to be eating cat food and begging for buyers, and I can finally get a house.

Funny. Sorry to be 'that guy,' but their formula for 7 has two solutions: 7 and -6. Having solutions 7 and 19 would have been better: 26x = x^2 + 133 would do it. And the formula for 9 is not acceptable -- don't even try to mess with transcendental numbers like that! ;-)

Yes the formula for 9 is weak. I would just put pi in "greatest integer in" lines -> 3|π|'= 9
