heartless businesses ticks me off.

blame me. yes i am a cheapskate. i fell into the "open a new credit card to get $30 off your first purchase" scam.

first month, i got a late fee of $15. i think, wtf? i didn't even get a statement. so i called and they waived it and i paid the balance in full.

2nd month, i get a statement. i got a late fee again on a balance of 0.00? wtf? i called again. they said they already waived a late fee for me and couldn't do it again. i told them it wasn't MY fault that i called BEFORE the due date and yet they posted the transaction AFTER the due date! some pushing and shoving, she wouldn't budge. i tried threatening that i would cancel the card after i made this payment (which i was gonna do anyways!). she said, "just call us back then." HA. i wanted to smack her.

i hate these companies that have no common sense. i hate these credit card companies with all their hidden service fees. i hate how these companies uses the fine print to take advantage of us because they know we won't read it.

on another note, i read the other day that richard fuld (ceo of lehman brothers) got slugged in the face while on the treadmill. that's what you get for making $500 million while your company bankrupts at the expense of others, devastating thousands, millions of lives. freaking bastard. how can he take his 50-feet yacht out to sea, knowing it was made possible only because families lost their homes to foreclosure.

crook.

$15 poorer,
tracy
