So I have to electronically sign a loan for next fall, and it asks for three references. Well, fine, whatever. Since it actually has my mom, mecha, and mechamom saved from a previous signing, that shouldn't be a problem at all. All the addresses are wrong, but there's an "edit" function, which means updating them should be a snap.
I update mom's address, no problems. Then I go on to do mecha1, since he is next on the list.
You have already entered two friends as references. Please choose a different type of relationship for your next reference.
Uh. Okay, yes, mecha and mechamom are both listed as "friend" under "type of reference." But since apparently I'm allowed two "friend" references, and then the "next" one has to be different, then I'm okay.
Except no. Apparently EDITING a reference counts as ADDING A NEW reference. Which means one for mechamom plus two for mecha equals too many.
Brilliant, signmyloans.com.
So I just deleted mechamom's listing, updated mecha's, and then added mechamom's back in.
Still. Brilliant.
My favorite part of the whole thing, though, gets back to the subject line up there. You MUST enter a reference type for each reference. You must have three. Two max can be of type "friend".
Only thing is, the only reference types you are allowed are "friend" and an array of family members.

Hope your whole family didn't die in a fire! If so, no moneys for you. Unless you pick up a Russian bride, I guess.
Also amusing is that, even if you are twenty-six years old, you still have to fill out the entire "parent" section of the entrance interview. Right down to employer and employer address. I hope you like an answer of "none" bitches because it is all I have to give you.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go check the little box to indicate that I do understand that if I die, my ghost doesn't have to pay back my loans.
1. You may laugh at this, if you wish.
