After I left high school I signed up with a temp agency, filled out all the paperwork, never heard anything. Twelve years later, I received a phone call. I explained I had been employed full time for over a decade. They said that if I refused the assignment I might not be eligible for future opportunities. I told them I was ok with that. ;)<p>Along the same vein, a few years ago I had an employer that wanted proof I graduated high school. Blink. &quot;You realize that I graduated almost forty years ago?&quot; Didn&#x27;t matter. Believe it or not I actually found the school system and they were able to produce a copy. I&#x27;m sure they had to climb over Jimmy Hoffa&#x27;s cryotube and the Ark of the Covenant to get to it.

<i>Peek-A-Boo 4-U cancelled the following...</i><p>There is a pending payment requests section in PayPal. The buyer finally noticed it and cancelled it.<p>You would think they would expire these after some time. Imagine if the buyer completed the payment 19 years later??

This seems like spam and not a real request. The amounts don&#x27;t even add up to the total.

20 years ago I used to work for a private investment fund which had an arrangement with a foreign custodian bank. Although the fund closed 2 years later, I still get monthly statements with zero balance even after we begged them to stop sending.

Would you mind removing any kind of personal information?

Now how do you get your tax back from the IRS?
