Tales of Buffoonery, aka What the Heck is Bank of America Smoking?

Ok, I only republish these two stories below because the last two transactions I've had where B of A was the buyer's lender have me totally convinced that BofA's left hand does not even KNOW there is a right hand. Ok, ok, I know that mortgage regulations did need to be more restrictive compared to the free-wheeling days of 2003-2006 -- but boy, the pendulum has just swung so far to the other end of the spectrum, it can just make a buyer pull their hair out while continually uttering "WTF?"

(quick note: I'm just republishing this one, I'm not condoning his metaphor....but do note this, the thesaurus usage of "retard":  “the process is retarded by bureaucratic red tape delay, slow down, slow up, hold back, hold up, set back, postpone, put back, detain, decelerate; hinder, hamper, obstruct, inhibit, impede, check, restrain, restrict, trammel.”
