You might be tempted to think that today’s topic would be about holding public servants and/or private corporations to account, but alas, it ain’t that woke.
It is however, about trust. As in, we implicitly tend to trust the world at large to have its proverbial shit together.
So when tiny bits of incongruency flash past our eyes, it can leave one questioning the fabric of reality itself. You might even be asking yourself “Is me nuts, but…?”
Here are three tales of that trust being broke…our, if you prefer a more sensational, clickbait-worthy description:
“The Stories The [Name of Institution You Want To Feel Justified In Distrusting]1Such as Media, Government, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Police, Scientist, Industrial Meat-packing Industry, Koch Brothers, and/or Man (to name but a few). Don’t Want You To See!”

Did you know…that there is such a thing as legal insurance? Ja, it’s true. We had signed up for some through the Boss Lady’s job for the identity protection, and only later discovered that we could use their network of lawyers free of charge for quite an array of basic legal needs.
So far, we’ve probably saved around $1500 using it to make out our wills and covering a chunk of the closing costs on a recent real estate purchase, to name but a few examples.

Now I had promised myself I wouldn’t waste time making a little video of the experience, but what’dya know, here we are…
Well, Hyatt Legal Plans, it seems you weren’t preapred for Eagle-Eye Cherry here to get all up in your business, now were you?
…to which they replied, “Oh no! We made a typo–THE HORROR! THE INJUSTICE! What are you gonna do? Sue us?”

Recently I was indulging in my #1 vice, playing FreeCell (TM) on the toilet, when an in-game ad caught my eye:
Did they…did they just put the seat down for the “After” picture? I mean, I’m almost insulted by the utter lack of effort that went into this ad.
I even thought to myself “This is Object Permanence 101, here, folks. Who in the world would be fooled by such a transparent marketing scheme?!? Who’s the target demographic here? What a bunch of morons!”
