Wait... you need that when?

It's April 15th, which in the TV business means it's time to plop a reporter in front of the Post Office and ask people why they waited until the last possible second to file their taxes this year.

Frankly, I don't understand the fascination with this. It's the same thing every year-- they're always due the same day, it's always the same morons, and they're always saying the same things. Seriously, watch the 11pm news tonight and keep score for yourself.

"I don't know why I waited so long."
"It just kind of snuck up on me."
"I meant to do them weeks ago."
"I love the last-minute rush."
And of course, "I'm definitely doing them earlier next year."

Idiots, idiots, idiots. All of you. I did my taxes so long ago that I've had the refund in my bank account for almost a month now.

It was so low-stress because there was no deadline pressure. If you wait until the last minute, you've got no one to blame but yourself for the stress and the stupid TV news reports.
