Annoyed with yet another thread where OP desires to shield inheritance money (hundreds of thousands of dollars) so that financial aid will not be affected-this time because the soon to be deceased really wants money to go to grandchild’s future home or retirement. Ugghh
Yes, @hoosiermom, it’s hundreds of thousands of dollars (sounds like maybe ~$600,000). Will be interesting to see if OP in that thread ends up telling us what the experts advise!
(I don’k the number was mentioned; wasn’t it some posters who used different dollar amounts to speculate?)
I’m really here to say what annoys me lately is the OT bickering among adults. It seems less restrained than usual.
(The OP said the amount was between two amounts that had already been mentioned, hence my guess at ~$600,000.)
Threads about silly topics like surgery errors.
I predict a flood of them on Ivy decision day.
You expect a flood of threads about surgery errors on Ivy decision day?
LOL> A flood of annoying threads though, yes.
It bugs me when “Official Decision Threads” get overrun by students posting every ten minutes about how nervous they are and asking each others stats and commiserating. I wish they would start a commiseration thread for that. When there are 100 posts in twelve hours, half of them by the same person … (Yes, I know I’m a bad person, but with all those new posts over all of those days, I kept thinking an official decision had actually been reached so kept going to look at that thread.)
The “my journey” threads are annoying.
I am enjoying one of those journey threads, @lookingforward . But I know what you mean.
I have mixed feelings about them. I really enjoy the ones chronicling their journey to be a possible help to others in the future.
The ones that read like A Postadolescent Journey into Narcissism? Not so much. (Sorry, kid. You’re really not all that special.)
Oops, you make me realize I like some, too. Please forget I said it, i was thinking of one or two in particular. 
The “omg kids are so entitled/touchy” threads that are started every time there is some racism/free speech issue in the news.
Well, the Emory situation is a bit over the top.
Threads about how people are discovering w shock at the end of March that all the OOS public universities they applied to are going to charge them OOS tuition and give them no FA.
Students who wonder if they will get need based aid with family incomes of $400,000 a year…oh because there are now two in college.
Those are the people who don’t understand the distinction between nuisance to their lifestyle vs need.
I always wonder whether those 400+k income family ever saved a penny for their kids education…like, if you save 40k per year since the kid is born, that’s like 40k*17=680k total, which is more than enough to educate 2 children in expensive schools in college.
Naively surprised and a little annoyed by posters who have detailed a very, very, very long application list.
