Really starting to hate the IRS!!

Tonight I have listened to Beethoven's 5th symphony about 20 times. I have it so memorized that I hummed it for my husband and showed him how I , as a fat chick ,can still do a pirouette. How do you say? Or why?

Allow me to tell you....

Being the good procrastinator that I am, what can I say, I work better under pressure. Anyway......
I had e-filed our taxes online last night. They were accepted today. On the e-mail it said to mail my e-file signature form to Kansas City where the e-file taxes papers were sent. On the same e-mail it said the address for the center to send it to would be on your filing instruction papers you print out.

Well, wouldn't you know it, it had an address in Andover, MA. GRRRRR

So, I called the IRS. Well of course, I knew there would be a wait especially for all the other procrastinators like myself. So I waited on the phone, and waited, and waited, and waited. You get the drift.

I thought I'd be smart to call late because surely no one would be up this late calling the IRS. WRONG!!!

After holding on for 35 minutes, and listening to their classical music over and over. My head bobbing up and down from falling asleep hearing Beethoven over and over again. An operator came on. "Hello, I am operator Id # 382374561839-482625128-38272. " Whatever, like I will remember that or have time to write it down, just give me your damn name, you know.

Anyway, I proceeded to ask her my question and go through the long drawn out situation, and she said, " So another words, the only thing you want to know in shortened terms , is where to send your Form 8453-OL."

Yeah that's it! GRRRRRR. She said, "Hold please, and I will transfer you to the right operator." And then the new wait began. Again, the same music.

During this wait, my daydreams began.... I could just imagine, the IRS workers kicked back with their feet in the air on their desks, laughing and throwing paper balls at each other, throwing money on the desks, while they take bets on which caller would lose their patience first. Laughing again and saying, how long do you think we can keep them on hold? Yep, I can picture it............

Finally, the music stops and I hear a recording after a now 20 minute wait........

"Due to the high volume of calls, please call back again at another time."

CLICK......goes the phone......

I was never so mad!!! If you can't get ahold of the IRS, and they waste your time for 55 minutes, maybe I can send them a bill for my wasted time. ......

I am so angry, who do you complain to if you have problems with the IRS, you know. Its not like you would ever want to complain, what would happen to you then. Its not like I can say, you knumskulls, you have now driven me crazy with your crappy music over and over and you wasted my time.

Do you remember those Chinese torture devices, where they would put the prisoner under a dripping water spout, that would drip on their head at the same rate till they went crazy?

I think that is what the IRS does when you are waiting on the phone, but its music instead, the same music over and over and over again!!!!!!!!!!!!

And to think, I have to get up in the morning and do it all over again. I think I will need some prayers people!!
