Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
About three years ago, I lent my mother my down sleeping bag.
She then let her cats pee on it and various other insults.
Since then I rescued it and took it home to clean.
She came over to watch my son, decided that it would bother my son's allergies (as it was drying in the garage) took it and donated it to a charity.
So when I called her to ask her where she put it, she starts in on a long list of how she's justified in doing what she did.
So after she finally told me what she did with it (after I spent a morning looking for it), I hung up on her.
Now she's mad at me for hanging up on her.
I don't fucking want her in my house.

OK...fine. When can I expect the e-mail? Within 10 to 15 minutes. Really.
Yeah, OK.
In the meantime, we can do the grocery shopping and things like that on a small credit card I have. We can write checks for bills until this mess is all straightened out. So, we're OK. It's just a helluva inconvenience and more than a bit of worry because we have no idea how the card information was stolen.

Hah, In the perfect end to a perfect day.
I just got a call from my credit card's fraud division, some one made a dupe of my card and is running around spending money at Subway (declined) and Wallmart in Illinois.

I had something similar happen to me some years ago. Someone in China tried using my card to order stuff online.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
A weird thing happened recently with my husband's Visa (through a local credit union). Some used the card to place an ad for a Lexus in Auto Trader. The kicker was that the car was listed as being in our town and the ad had our phone number. The way we found out was that someone called about buying "our" car. When I called Auto Trader, they just removed the ad and apologized, but did not say anything else beyond that. A month later his cc statement had various charges and refunds from Auto Trader.
We went and had the card canceled, etc., but are still scratching our heads over the whole thing.

A friend of mine over on another board is having the same trouble. It's making MT and I wonder if some big system has been hacked.

They didn't get far on my account too.
Subway might have gotten through, but there is no way they are getting $900 out of my card.
When I talked to someone at the bank earlier this month, she indicated a large bank had a lot of their files compromised. So now someone has gotten that info and the ability to counterfeit cards. Whee.
Of course looking at sites like this Chronology of Data Breaches | Privacy Rights Clearinghouse
I'm surprised it hasn't happened before.

I went through a round of that two years ago. No one tried to use my card, but the credit union started replacing everyone's credit and then debit cards.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
Okay, first: Snow. Fuck you, go away. I hate you. You're not pretty anymore. In fact, I don't know that I ever really liked you at all.
Second, terrestrial radio: What the fuck is your problem? I'm out there busting my ass moving the fucking snow (see 1) and you have the goddamned nerve to play Olivia Fucking Newton Whore John. That is not the fucking song I want to hear when I have to move gallons and gallons of fucking snow.
Third: Dumbasses. DO YOU NOT SEE THE FUCKING TWO FEET OF FUCKING SNOW WHERE YOU ARE TRYING TO GO. YOU CANNOT DRIVE YOUR RICE BURNING SHIT BOX THROUGH TWO FUCKING FEET OF SNOW. Furthermore, Stupid Dumbasses, can you not tell that this busted ass not paved subdivision is reduced to less than a full lane of through traffic? YOU CANNOT JUST TURN TO THE SIDE INTO A DRIFT OF FUCKING SNOW THAT IS MORE THAN TWO FEET DEEP WITHOUT GETTING STUCK.
FUCK YOU ALL.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
I have just tried to make a post to the "On this day umpty years ago..." thread... TWICE!
Both times, my computer inexplicably navigated away from the page I was on and I lost the whole thing. The first time wasn't too bad, because I was still dealing with the 16th century, but the second time I finished ALL the historical events from today and was simply listing the births and deaths.
FUCK AND GODDAMN IT!!!

I woke up around 11AM because I heard some noise in the house. It was my wife, she had been sent home from work because of the snow storm. I looked outside and saw about three inches of the white shit everywhere but in her tracks coming up the driveway and it was still snowing. I went back to bed for another couple of hours, then I got up, thinking I needed to go out and shovel snow off the driveway. It was all gone, it had all melted off the driveway and the streets.
There is more coming tonight though, so I may get to shovel some yet, DAMMIT.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
Again with the fucking racism. I tell you. So there's a place called apartmentratings.com or something and I wrote a blurb on it a while ago (like, a year) and get email updates whenever someone also rates where I live. So. There's someone who lives here who is so fucking pissed off at the Mexican Woman Who Runs The Place and also because She Won't Let Me Drive Fast In The Parking Lot Because I Might Hit A Fucking Kid and also There Are To (sic) Many Foreigners Here But No Place For A White Woman From AMURICA who can't give The Mexican a Rent Check - and I have to ask - was it because you BOUNCED a check, fuckwit?? Because that's written in the lease - bounce a check, pay some other way. And, yeah, you fucking have my sympafuckingthy for The Mexican making you take your poster against immigrants down. Boo fucking fucking fucking hoo, bastardina!
ANYHOO - No, This Apartment Complex is NOT the place to live if you're a xenophobic child hunter. Fucking cunt. (You heard me. I said cunt. But not a nice one- like a drippy, oozy one. Not with nice stuff, but kind of yellowy stuff. Yeah. That kind.)
PS - The majority of the Damned Immigrants in the complex are very pale Russians. But you know how They Are!

Green stuff.
I called the police to report my credit card numbers stolen and get sent to a mailbox, fine. The phone receptionist was very nice and said someone would return my call promptly.
Well they did, the police woman asked me first, "why'd you call me?"
"Because I wanted to file a report about [the above credit card incident]"
"But why did you ask for me specifically"
"I didn't I left my message in a general mailbox."
Geeze lady, you might have to be part of the rotation to actually take a report, being a police officer and all.

A guy I knew in Wyoming once told me his cousin got a job in Mexico. I said "Oh, really, where in Mexico?"
He: "Farmington."
Me: "That's not in Mexico, it's in New Mexico."
He: "What's the difference?"
Me: "Jane, you ignorant slut, New Mexico is a state."
He: "Really? A state in the United States?"
Me: *facepalm*
