Just a quick rant

By Mink

I just got back from the grocery store and as usual did not get a clean swipe of my credit card. Without fail my checkout is like shooting an advertisement as it takes at least 2 or 3 cuts. I'm presuming this is solely my problem as I could add it to the list of basic everday things I don't know how to do such as throwing a spiral on a football or even blowing my nose. Anyone else have swiping issues?

Try licking the black part of the credit card right there in the store. If you're lucky, the cashier wont even take the card, she'll just ring you up as paid for it. Worse case scenario, you might be thrown out. I do have problems with blowing my nose too. What is it with crappy tissues that disintegrate all over my shirt when I blow? It's not like I have problems with extra-powered nasal flow, but its just that tissue fragments always end up on my shirt.

What's worse is when they start looking at you like "uh huh....this girls got no money" and you KNOW you've got cash in there, why the fuck isnt it working?? But all you get is the shake-shake of the head and a little smirk, "yea that bitch is broke."

The worst is when they patronize you, "Oh here, give it to me (little boy), I'll do it for you." Screw you supermarket lady, I'm gonna stand here trying it myself until it works. (3 minutes later) Ummmm...can you show me how to do it?

i have a different card-swiping problem, which is when i use my metrocard and it says "please swipe again". this is a monthly card we're talking about, so i swipe it again and it says "just used". now what the hell am i supposed to do when this happens? it happened last week and i had to go out of the subway (it was one of those stops where there's no metrocard machine or vender) and buy a friggin $10 card at a kiosk. a nuisance i tell you.

i have a Wiping problem, and most always resort to the plug-up method in order to stop any possible leaking throughout the day.

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!

Mike
