Random Rants

@GimpKid:

Why must the fraud department at my credit card company go apeshit every time I order from Giles or Self Edge? Sooo annoying.

I've had the same problem so now I have to use paypal, like you say ''So annoying''.

Happened to me recently too. I almost went berserk after my 5th time trying to order the IHSH-52

[GimpKid]

It happens when I use paypal, too, although less frequently. You'd think they'd start to ignore certain merchants after awhile.

I got the fraud alert problem after trying to by a computer from Dell. I tried to explained to the bank - it's Dell computers, not exactly a small operation…

Still, earlier this year I was credit card fruaded for over £1000, and the bank was great about it and caught the transactions before they went through, so I guess it's better to have them out there keeping tabs than not.

At 19 I had to leave behind in Paris a gorgeous leather jacket because my card was declined although I sorted it out later on and recently had a similar gripe.
Now I've just cut up one of my 4 credit cards so the other 3 are nearly maxed- meaning I'll have to pay off some before my next (already planned) splurge.

At least we ARE protected, although it is annoying when genuine transactions get refused.

my glass shower door just spontaneously shattered

[Seul]

Holy cow… Were you in it???

[jacoavlu]

nope, whole family was at other end of house
heard a big crash
I thought wtf but apparently its not unheard of
not a fun cleanup

[Seul]

Glad that didn't read "Was showering with the whole family"…

[madmonday]

that is the worst jaco, glad no one was hurt.  do you have to shell out to get it repalce or was it under a warranty & you just have to deal with the buracracy to get it fixed?

to be honest not sure which is worse 

f^cked up way to start the week

[jacoavlu]

it's tempered glass so it just shatters to a million pieces, yes fortunate no one was in it
one benefit of renting… call the landlord, hopefully gets fixed today, ill be damned if I'm paying for it

Washing machine went haywire. The cycle wouldn't complete! Had to wash some Samurai's twice. Arggh! Some serious color loss.

[injunjack]

so???? they're just jeans

[Stokely]

@injunjack:

so???? they're just jeans

Yes, of course they are. They are pretty pricey jeans however and it pissed me off. And my washer is now fucked. Thought that ranting was the purpose of this thread…

I didn't post this to have someone rationalize this away for me.

[injunjack]

get over it, and shoot the damn washer

[Stokely]

@injunjack:

get over it, and shoot the damn washer

Good point, may have to settle for a chainsaw though. Shotgun is getting repaired.

[injunjack]

you wanna lend mine, it's a Mossberg…

[Seul]

What did you do with it, machinewash it?..

[Stokely]

Bwah! Nah, dropped it from a tree stand. Needed some tlc as well that I couldn't provide. It's pretty much shite anyway. Need a new one. IJ- you like your Mossberg?

[injunjack]

yup, it's ald but not so much used 500 pump action. short 20 "barrel, I thik it's called Turkey model.

But it's a tool. Nothing fancy. Easy to customize though…and pretty cheap
