monkey nonsense

update: chubacca- yup, i did get 2 games but they were on the same charge (the $50something charge i already identified as eb games)

hrm yeah… about the credit fraud protection, i guess maybe most people might have difficulty remembering where they spent it (like i did) but they’ll usually remember that they DID in fact spend the money. i knew i had charged something else that day, i was just blanking on where exactly it was.

no one’s guessed where i charged the $30something charge to yet!! it was actually quite stupid when i figured out where i had spent that $30something over the phone with the lady… i guess it’s not as obvious as i thought it was- maybe i’m not as dumb as i thought i was?? or maaaaaaybe you’re all not as smart as i thought you were! jk

i loved encyclopedia brown growing up! he was such a clever little boy! but somehow… when i borrowed his books from the library this past spring, he didn’t seem as clever anymore. aaanyone can solve those mysteries! here’s a little “mystery” i just had this morning….

i was checking my voicemail this morning when d’oh, got an automated message from citicards about some fraud on my card… but because i’m terrible at checking voicemail, it “expired” 9/26.. so i had to call the regular 1-800 number to check my card.

lady asks me to confirm a charge of “one eleven twenty eight” for this past saturday. it being early in the morning, it didn’t register that she was talking about hundreds… so i said that i picked up a drink at a gas station after getting gas (dude, i ate some of my messed up “pickled” cucumbers that i “marinated” in salt for waaay too long so i was thirsty all day) that day.

i think she thought i was an idiot. after she clarified she meant one hundred eleven dollars and twenty eight cents, i realized oh! that was the ps2! so i said the vendor was eb games. she asked about another charge for $50some dollars… eb games again (’cause the first eb i went to only had the game, but not a slimline used ps2 so i had to pick up at a 2nd store).

then she asks me to confirm a charge of $30something that day. shoot! my mind blanked. eb games, again? no… i “only” made two purchases at eb games that day… i couldn’t think of it at all! so i told her i was blanking. she asked me to confirm a charge of $1.38 the previous day then. again, i instantly thought of the drink at the gas station! so i told her again, but then saying… hrm, but that was on saturday, not friday….

well, if you’re a smart person… at this point in time, you know where i charged the $30something to my credit card. and if you’re dumb like me…. you still don’t know! (i eventually figured it out and when i did, i felt like such a fool…. A FOOL!!! i think she also thought i was an idiot) do you know where it was??

oh yea, and the wireless was down this morning. that’s the only reason i didn’t try to cheat and look up my charges online. bah!
