my favorite is asking for someone’s ID because their card isn’t signed. They are aghast that you just don’t take them at their word that it’s their card. I’ve gotten “do I look like a credit card thief?” so many times.

Also, if it is outside your usual spending pattern or area, many companies decline the card out of concern it was stolen. Just got back from overseas and had my card declined three times before I called them to clear it up. A hassle but also a great protection.

frog protection?

Agreed. I work for a credit card company. It happens all the time and for a million reasons that don’t include you being a deadbeat. One time a card I had with my own company was declined. When I called in later to check it was because the post office had returned a statement. At that time part of my job included…

fraud protection knew she didn’t belong at h&m

As a person who worked in different types of stores for ten years: This is not as embarrassing as people think it is. It happens, literally, every day. It doesn’t always mean your credit is bad or that you ran out of money. Try another card or come back later, people do it all the time.

Got the game last night and played for about 3 hours. A few things right off the bat (PS4 version), it’s super pretty, exploring/crafting is deep enough to be interesting but simple enough to not be a total chore. Getting the ship into orbit for the first time is a really satisfying feeling. My son and I flew to a few…

Dear old guy,

I’m imagining miniature funerals, with caskets the size of your thumb. Buried in tiny little graves with popsicle sticks as the tombstones.

Again with this whole lawmakers need to “understand basic biology” thing. Most miscarriages and abortions happen before there’s anything to bury. Typically its just tissue, much like a period or tissue from any other gynecological surgery.

Maybe when we have one of those really rough slightly late periods that makes you wonder “is this a miscarriage” we should just start packing the “remains” up and sending them to law makers in Texas. Let them figure out what to do with it. Wouldn’t want all that medical waste going into the sewer system now would we.

Whata country do you ah think this is?

They should have known when they zoomed in on the photo and noticed more black people in attendance than will actually vote for Trump in November.

Managed parking garages in Chicago when I first came out of school. My buddy I wore the full valet uni for a Halloween party one year to a friends house in the ‘burbs. We stayed out front for 30 mins and not one person refused to give us their keys....

Yes. Somehow on 9/12/01, a majority of the country forgot that President Bush had just spent the entire month of August on vacation. Patriotism can be such a memory killer.

Please read my comment again. The vacation, EO, and golf things are examples of bullshit memes about Obama that have been going around since he was sworn in, often shared by extended family members.

OP is saying that’s what republicans say, not that it really happened

No he didn’t take more vacation days or golf more than other presidents. Where is your proof???

that vacation days one is seriously baffling to me. did everyone just black GWB’s ranch from their minds???

God, I miss him so much already! Everything he’s done is try and to make life a little better for working people in a massively ungrateful nation. And look, not one high profile donor who gave him millions and bought him furniture to be found among the pardons!
