You can shoot goverment employees, that don't know shit about thier job.   

see the women are so dumb thread...

If you ever wonder why it costs so much to get things done on your house, dealing with BS is the main reason.

You can't legislate common sense.

Maybe not, but I don't see why you can't have a season on those who lack it.

I had a run-in with a building inspector in illinois many many years ago. The building was an old Victorian stick style house that had been an apartment downstairs and 4 rooms let upstairs. I converted it to single family. One inspector showed up for the annual inspection, I told her it wasn't a rooming house anymore, and she left. Three months later, I get a letter followed closely by an inspector who promptly wrote my up for a dozen infractions - most of which had been there when I bought the house - the same house that had been inspected annually for 30+ years.

I tried to argue that some of the so-called infractions - cracked and peeling paint - were because I was actually, you know, stripping the gazillion layers of paper and paint that had accumulated on the plaster walls, but that didn't seem to faze her. I filed a complaint with her boss, who from his desk in City hall eliminated all but 2 or 3 of the so-called infractions. He left the cracked and peeling paint - safety, ya know, for the children.

Some weeks later there is an article in the paper about how the Tenants Organization in that town had successfully gone to court to break a land trust on one really bad, nasty, run down building in town. You guessed it - owned and operated by same inspector and her husband. Her defense? I'm a building inspector and there is nothing wrong with that building.

The building was independently inspected, and the new inspector found 62 code violations - and 3 zoning violations. Since she was an EEOC hire (black woman) she got a month off at the taxpayer's expense and free re-training.

My house? Her boss made an appointment with me a couple weeks after the paper articles ran, showed up, barely walked in the door, and wrote off all of the so-called "infractions" saying, this is a single family house and you're clearly fixing it up. He could not sign the paper and get out of my house fast enough.

Building inspectors serve a purpose I am sure, but not in my experience. Ever.

I've been hit with "criminal stupid" again by the Navy. 

I have a medical waiver signed off in 2004 that is supposed to remain in effect until I retire with a letter from the Dr saying the only limitation was that if I deploy overseas or somewhere without a hospital I need Medical to sign off that I can go.   

Friday I went in for a record review and the Corpsman says "Oh you need to get this reviewed by BuMed (BIG Medical) annually.  You need to get all the documentation from your regular Dr and have another physical done in 30 days or I will process you out for non-compliance."  Mind you I'm less than two years from retirement and my record has been reviewed twice a year by a Corpman AND a Dr since 04.  The only paperwork is the original waiver but none of the supporting documentation that had been last time I looked.

After she spins me up she takes my BP (which is through the roof at this point) and comments "Oh your blood pressure is high, have you seen your Dr for it?"

Don't be too hard on gubmint employees. If it weren't for the fact that they passed the civil service exam, they'd be unemployable.
