**** PayPal with a spiked railroad cross tie. I love that when you are refunded an amount that has been cleared by both parties, PayPal holds onto it for a ******* week. God I wish there was competition that was less gay. They are holding $600 that I would like to have to put back into my bank account. So now once it actually shows back up in my PayPal account, I'll have to wait an additional 2-3 days for it to transfer to my bank.

So, I just got home and found a check in my mailbox for $1,596 from the Dept of the Treasury.

This annoys me considerably.

Because it means I made a mistake.

I should have rounded out TY10 with a slight underpayment penalty, not a refund. This means that I made an error somewhere on my return, with the result that I overpaid, and it was only by the grace and honesty of the IRS that I got the money back. The check came with preprinted copy of Notice 54, which is one I've not seen before.

What is the easiest way to safely disable the airbag while driving without removing them?

I've had more issues with them than I can count, but for Ebay, it's the only way to go, and it's convenient for a lot of other places. It's just so iffy as to how it will go. Always some kind of bullshit waiting period, temporary holds, fees out the ***, long wait times for transfers.

best thing to do is just link your bank account and only use that, no credit cards etc. and don't do any large purchases through paypal unless you have a written contract signed by the buyer/seller not because paypal won't protect you but because they protect even guilty people

Even when it's drawn directly from your account, when you are refunded for a purchase, they hold it.

I just left the House of Blues, saw Rise Against and Bad Religion. All I can say is that old skool circle pits rule.

I've never dealt with that plug, but the ones at the airbags themselves, under the dash... no problem. Just unhook the battery and leave it disconnected for 10-15 minutes, then unplug.

Don't use ebay.


BTW - I bet pedobear Miata guy eventually gets tracked down by the long but slow arm of the law for that stunt. Too many other pics of car and driver = fail.
