conflict of interest

An unfair-to-the-customer motivation that money-hungry banks have to maintain someone's having to make payments on a loan for as long as possible.
I borrowed a thousand dollars from a local credit-union so that I could pay some local tradespeople to perform much-needed repairs on my home and vehicle. But then as it turned out, these "over-booked with repair-jobs" folks were not able to get to my repairs as soon as they'd expected, and so I didn't need the loaned money nearly so soon as I'd thought I would; I realized that I'd likely be able to pay the carpenters and mechanics "on my own" just with extra-frugality-saved funds over the next few months. So I merely returned the thousand dollars to the credit union within just two or three months after I'd taken out the loan; the clerk seemed none to pleased, since they'd only made about 22 bucks extra in the deal, instead of maybe close to a hundred if I'd taken a year to pay it all back, the way they had expected me to. Guess there was a little conflict of interest there.

Interesting

People are not that interesting between the beginning and the end of their lives, they're only interesting toward the beginning and toward the end. So it's weird for someone to have an everyday interest in someone else, it's weird because they're usually gathering intel or counter intel on the person they claim to have an interest in, rather than minding their business.
The guy wasnt interesting, and yet the other person claimed to have an interest in something he was doing, so he had to wonder what agency sent the other person. There are no victims in the spy community, spies get paid for their work, not forced into their work.
