What irritates you?

dont forget about guaranty.. they took over my banks reputation as being the black sheep..

I heart TCF

hahahahahaha they picked kc to taste test something ORANGE

actually, they originally told me I was too late, but I showed up anyways figuring not everyone else would.

Kinda cool to see the corporate office for Caribou. Their warehouse is in the same building, heh.

classic scam. Hope you didn't divulge anything or have any program run on your computer. Better do a scan to get rid of any trojans or spyware.

getting a car and finding out before I can transfer it or get tabs I have to pay off all the parking tickets!!! all 295 dollars worth and also haveing to pay for title and tabs witch is going to cast my 68 dollars!! so much for a free car!!! argg!!!! :crying: :crying:

I was shopping the other day and ran my debit card through the credit card machine and it asked for my Social Security number! I'm like, huh?? The cashier called her manager and he had no idea why it would ask that, that he'd never seen that before, and they ran it through the register. Kind of weird.

If you didn't transfer it yet, I'd say its still someone elses problem.

dont give it to them!

If that happens to me I'll leave the stuff on the counter and leave.

Oh, I wasn't about to give it to them. The card worked ok when they ran it through the register.

for the past 4 years my friend Samantha (otra Samantha, I am primera samanta as I am older) and I have done a party with friends where we start at a house, go around town in several cars looking at xmas lights (we get a list of all the winners)

well this year - she sends out the evite, complete with plans for dinner at her house after etc. etc. etc. like 20 people RSVP. Ok, fine - my part of the job is really to make the list - and get the map together (thank you microsoft maps) and make sure each car has a set of directions - no problemo...

well today - she drops in my lap, that she's leaving Fri night for Reno to go to her Bro's for the holiday - and oh yeah, can I handle the party myself?

dude - I have a soccer game at 9:30 that night.. NO. So now I have to either cancel the party - or move it to Sunday night and still do it myself. :barf:

I'd cancell. Its all in her name and her adress. Let her take the crap for it.

Sorry.

thats exactly what I would do to!!! if you know its coming and you dubble book your self that not your problem!! you better figer something out to fix it I wont do it!! I wont say what I want to!!! LOL
