First: Why are you applying for a job at a bank? Aren't you already swamped with obligations? Do you need some extra income that bad?
Two: Yes, I once punched a hole in my wall thanks to paperwork like that. Except the way it was set up, it was literally impossible to fill out without lying. Without knowingly lying. And that was literally the ONLY way to fill out the form - not just guessing and maybe being wrong, but explicitly knowing "this is 100% wrong" and writing it down.

Fucking hate paperwork. Now my eye is twitching just remembering it.

Yup. If I got a steady job with a bank that paid a salary instead of essentially hunting down cases, then I could actually have a "normal job." Do you understand how awesome it would be to have benefits? Self employment sucks with the double payroll tax and the no health insurance or paying the outrageous fees yourself.... Plus I'd kill to work ONLY  a 40 hour week while paying off my student loans. Dear God, as much as people say lawyers are expensive, sure seems I have a ton of expenses....

But yeah, it's total bullshit, this application. I'm an attorney and it took me a while... [sigh]. Whoever makes these: I don't know whether to feel enraged at them or sorry for them.

It's just a number, man.

Besides, the evil number is actually 616 iirc

To me, it's 400.

It's disputed. Both numbers can be found in the earliest versions of Revelation availiable, but the earliest written copies are long lost.

I started talking about a game that I bought, and we hopped topics to a dream my mom had in our old house. She dreamed that there was an extra room in the basement, and she had this dream often.

We don't often talk about our old house for lots of reasons. I saw an old lady in the corner of my eye every time I was in the basement. My sister's friend saw it too at my sister's party, and made one hell of a scream. Cold pockets all over the basement, even in summer and far from any vents. At night a shadowy figure descended from the ceiling and stood at the base of my bed staring at me, and this happened often enough that I refused to sleep without the light on in fear of waking up with the figure standing next to me. Once we moved out I went on without the lights without an issue. Lastly, my sister complained about her bed being shaken at night by a girl.

So when my mom brought up the dream it donned on me and my dad, there actually was enough room for another room. The bathroom was always small, and the bedroom next to it had a good 4 foot gap before it opened up. We mapped out the rooms on a piece of paper from what we remembered and there it was. If there could have been an extra room it would have been there. That is one scary coincidence for one hell of a scary house.

Well, that's terrifying.

You know what you must do. Get in there, man! Skeletons in the walls go with treasure!

[Frumple]

Thar be ghost booty in them thar walls.

Git to diggin', laddie.

[Fenrir]

I am a terrible coward, but I wish I could examine such a house that I might discover if ghosts are real. I suspect not, as movement of any sort is odd behaviour for the deceased, but I would like to be quite sure.

Who wants ghost booty? I certainly do not.

How old was the house? Leftover space like that isn't terrible uncommon. Sometimes, with renovations, and especially in basements, construction will block an area off and people will just shrug. We found a smaller one when we redid my parents old basement and, to echo the people above, it was in fact full of money. A big sack of old coins from the 50s and 60s. So conceivably worth checking out.

Don't know if we had ghosts or shit, I got hypnagogia, so I'd never be able to tell the difference anyway. The few times I did freak out enough to bother thinking it was anything more, it turned out to be rats/eels/crabs in the walls/basement gutters (in that order).
