life in a day
good morning!
MY bank is weird!! back a few months ago, i noticed deposits of just ONE dollar appearing evry so often. it was a mystery to me. i check my bank account several times a day because i am bi-polar, and i am online 20 hours or so a day. recently, i discovered why i was getting these dollar deposits.
when you buy somefhing online and use a debit/credit card the merchant you give your card to, swipes a dollar from your account! that is how they know your account is good, and when they deny you, its cause they could not grab that dollar! now, after a couple of days, the merchant puts that dollar back into your account! so solves the mystry!
before i went to bed, i had 25.93 in my account! a new mystery! it is so, cause yesterday i was at KFC and got a yummy chicken dinner with my last 5 bucks!
so, checking further, i got 19.99 credit, and a bunch of dollar deposits!
so, where did the 19.99 come from? what did i get for 19.99?? mystery. i dont recall!
so here we are 5 hours later, i checked the account, and i got 5.99 in it!!!! WTF? so, i looked at the debits, and theres that 19.99! musicmatch.com! i got an up grade on my mp3 player, so now i gotta call them and find out why i am double billed! oy vey! i changed banks last week to an american bank, so my gubbermint check will go to a bank where i can talk to americans, not an outsourced call center in india.
as most of you know, i live in a residential hotel, so on occasion, i have to put up with a knock on the door, somebody wants a cigarette, cup of coffee, talk, whatever. its ok, most of these people here are disabled, like me some worse some not so bad.
well, almost on a daily basis, sometimes every other day, this one idiot comes knockin....."can i useya phone?" ok so im a nice guy, i let him, he dont stay long, just a few minutes. then he is gone. on some manic days, he comes by 2, 3, 4 times to use the phone. so, yesterday, i took an enveloupe, wrote in american english, "DO NOT DISTURB" and super-glued it to the door, and locked the door! i was playin pogo, and i didnt wanna be bothered! besides, the idiot came by too many times anyway.
so, normal people, pop quiz here! 1st one that comes up with the correct answer, wins a hearty, "GOOD FOR YOU"
when you see a sign on a door that says, "DO NOT DISTURB" what do you do?
A. Knock on the door
B. Knock on door, try the doorknob to see if you can get in
C. Go Away
if you picked C you win! the idiot picked B. then a coupla hours later, he went to my WINDOW, knocked on the window, and sez can i come by at 10:30PM and use the phone? i sez NO! he pleads like a lil girl, PULEEEEZE??
again, i sez NO! also, i sez, so you see the do not disturb sign knock on the door anyway, then try to come in the room??! get the fuck outta here!
he wont be using the phone anymore. mr nice guy who is so cool has turned into instant asshole! so what! the idiot needs a lesson in respecting people!
there! NYAH! so, how is your day??
