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.

It's just... never interesting. You shouldn't be needing to tell the other person it's interesting if it actually was.
Someone: "You see, the INTERESTING thing is..."
Me: "No. Just... no."
Someone; "But it actually is interesting! I was going to talk to you about the joys of being a stock manager!"
Me: *Dies*

Someone passive interest(ed) is someone who is desperate for something but doesn't show any signs of interest in that something, basically asking them to help achieve the person the something he wants but acting cool and not worried on it.
Desperate boi : oh man, tbh I dont care about being the leader of the clan. But hey if you want to vote me go ahead.
Random user in chat: my friend I know you want it. You have a Passive Interest on being the leader of the clan.

Once digital movie-cameras got perfected to da point dat they actually delivered superior images to film, da celluloid-manufacturers were understandably less-than-thrilled about it; definitely a little conflickt of interest there.
