      I'm not one of those people that likes to self-diagnose various dramatic ailments, but I'm pretty sure I have this:

      Misophonia, meaning "hatred of sound", is a proposed neurological condition in which certain sounds trigger emotional or physiological responses others may deem unreasonable.<sup> </sup>Reactions to trigger sounds range from anger and annoyance to activating a fight-or-flight response. The condition is sometimes called selective sound sensitivity syndrome. Common triggers include oral sounds (e.g., loud breathing, chewing, swallowing), clicking sounds (e.g., keyboard tapping, finger tapping, windshield wipers), and sounds associated with movement (e.g., fidgeting). Oftentimes, hated sounds are repetitive in nature.

        The sound I hate is slurping food. Doesn't matter if its soup, pasta or anything, I hate hearing slurps.

          More of a minor pet peeve than a real gear grinder: Athletes who have "Jr." or "III" etc. on their jerseys. That's not part of your last name, it's only necessary when giving your full name.

            I made 100% of my car payments on time, and sent the final check in. Due to COVID and the mail taking so long, they marked my final payment as late.

            Have you ever wanted to coach or play basketball at the next level, but something prevented you from achieving that dream? Fret no more. Ask me about SimWorld Hoops to see how you can create your virtual self, and follow your path from the prep-level to the pros.

                How were you paying previously?

                  Yeah, that sucks, but that's why I pay all my bills online.

                  Have you tried calling them? I'm almost positive they will reverse that based on the circumstance and payment history.

                    By mail. There was always some issue of my bank not showing up when my wife or I tried signing up for automatic payments. We would go through the process and it would say "No available accounts."

                    I have autopay on for everything but this.

                    Apparently, they added $1.28 after my check cleared their one time automatic courtesy thing.

                    I called them and they are not budging. I had my buddy who lives in town (it is two+ hours away from me now) go pay the $1.28 for me. They said that it was my banks fault and that the $1.28 is interest due to them not getting the payment from my bank the same day. They also ignored me when I asked about them removing it from my credit, but I could feel myself getting heated, so I had to just let it go for now.

                    It is just sad seeing this:Screenshot_20210311-232455_Samsung%20Internet.jpeg

                      Well, I guess you know what company to not take a loan with next time!

                        That's crazy, but honestly I'm not surprised considering the mindset these larger corporations and financial institutions have regarding customers.

                        I've never trusted automatic payments and honestly don't really trust scheduled payments either. So when I manually schedule a payment I save everything and print out payment confirmation to a pdf just in case I'll need it later.

                          I think what frustrates me the most is, this was not my first car loan through them. So I have gone not just 72 months, but probably closer to 132 months of never missing a payment with them, and my last payment for this car, they are like.. Screw you.

                            After last night, I think I am going to start taking credit for my predecessors accomplishments.

                              The fact that I had better credit score a year ago when I had 3 credit cards running balances and an open auto loan.
