Jus Gotta Vent!


Why can't people do as requested? I asked to be informed when My Motorcycle needed to be moved out of the garage (Ex was gettin her crap out sweet), well that didn't happen. I walked into the garage and there is my Bike among other stuff out on the yard. WTF nothing under the kickstand, not in gear and leaning the wrong way I freaked!!!! They grabbed their crap an ran. While putting a plate under the KS I noticed a ding on the nose of My new faring. Now I am being told what's my problem, and why am I such a D!*Khead.
Is that that a rhetorical question or am or did I get stoned an miss something?
TY for the cheese to go with My whine Mike/EZ

Apparently garages are safe for secret documents, but not personal property when the Ex is at hand!

Not knowing anything here, maybe luck has a part to play. A boyfriend, a tube 0 grease and a lot of different outcomes. Guess learn and live is a best part of all of it. Divorce is the beginning of a lifelong war is another pact. Glad you are good and all is well.

Another Facebook rip off! I've been looking at a TB spacer, and after a few attempts the deal finally went down. We arrived early to the meeting spot (a smart n final PL). In the amount of time it took me to go to the can man, the wife did the deal and the seller was down the road. She was all happy she handled it after the DMV mis-understanding. I had things to do an people to see so we headed to our next stop. At the Dr's I opened the box to check it out Opp's hardware but no spacer or gskts. The wife's face was so sad I couldn't say anything, I just went in to my appointment. She tried so hard to explain herself so I turned the subject to how desperate they must be to go thru all that for 20$. The rest of the day she kept sayin sorry, I would return with No Worries and ask what lesson was learned Well she learned her lesson The next transaction she was all up on the seller who what why lets see the bootie I thought she was going to ask for his DL also, I felt bad for him LOL. She even talked him down 10 bucks cuz the box was opened Go Girl :-). Doesn't it suck that people can be that desperate or worse shellfish to rip you for 20$. Heck if he had talked to me and told a good story I would have given him a lot more. His loss Our lesson, so move onward thu the fog cuz Life is good Mike/EZ

The spacer rip off was just the beginning of a string of consumer bad luck over the weekend. It seemed like no matter what we bought had issues. There were so many issues I found it hard to believe what was going on, until the common denotator popped up. Can You guess what, I mean who it is? Yeppers, My shop till she drops Wife. She gave me this really cool working die cast Bicycle, Nice. Then asked for My CC cuz there was a problem with hers an needed to make a Costco order, NP. When she returned it she told me she made a second purchase but she couldn't tell me what. I asked if it was over 50$ she said no, sweet.
Sat morning i go to pick up B-fast, and my card had the strangest error message This Card Not Authorized for this kind of purchase. Now My CC is snapped off because the card was buying stuff in Europe. Here I was thinking she maxed her card, o'well it is a low limit for the purpose, but now Mine is at issue. We talk and she just didn't get it, keeps telling me about all this crap for penny's on the dollar and asking why I wouldn't give her another card. I kept saying, the only card working was my debit, and she wasn't putting it on the internet. So she went to my mom, talked her into buying a kick but recliner for 49.99$. Guess who's CC is snapped off now, Mom was buying out Britten. Oh yea the really cool bike, it was supposed to be full size not small die cast LOL You won't believe what they used for justification: your going to get burned once in awhile, and that is the cost of doing business, Sonner or later she will get something good. Was They are so pissed at me because I wouldn't get new CC's issued yesterday, and why did I tell the bank to send them in the mail, because now thee have a 7-10 day wait for them. Am I the only one that has a clue or do you Boyz have similar let's say Communcation's issues with "The Wifes".
I'm trying to put this tactfully, yet I don't think that is possible.. I do nothing yet I'm the bad Guy, then I am countermanded by estrogen (they called the bank and made arrangements to go pick them up) :-(. I'm sure this is going to be one of those "we agree to disagree" issues, I need to call Ben Dover and take it LOL Mike/EZ

My worst experience with a credit card was driving home from vacation about 20 years ago. I'm about 300 miles from home and stopped at a gas station. One I'd used before and was familiar with. I stuck the credit card into the pump and a couple of seconds later the "See Attendant" message popped up. Wondering what was wrong, I tried the card again and got the same message.

So I went into the store and asked what was going on. "Your credit card has been declined", was his comment. Having used it the day before and never having had any issues I was confused. The guy apparently had seen this before and the look on my face convinced him that I wasn't trying to pull a fast one. He suggest we call the CC company and asked for my card. He called the number and spoke for a few minutes, describing what was going on. Then he handed the phone to me. A very pleasant woman was on the other end and explained that the account had been locked do to suspicious activity. "Suspicious activity? I don't understand".

She then proceeded to ask me if I was at a gentleman's club in London the previous night, or in Arizona the night before. That's when the light bulb turned on. After a brief exchange where I explained that we were just on our way home and trying to fill up the truck to complete the drive she offered to unlock the account long enough for us to get gas, after which she'd lock the account again and order us a new card.

Everything wound up turning out OK, with only a 10 minute delay.

We get our lives wrapped up in our phones and plastic when we lose one we pay he!! no matter what. This is going to be a difficult one to close. there is a case number already so I can only talk to the fraud agency, and that agency has booted me every time I try calling. Finally i get a person and they transfer me back into the auto system, Round and round we go when and where will it end? I'm getting dizzy just typin this. Smile and say Good day Mate can I get another shrimp on the barbe plz or go with the flow like a jellyfish, translated means sit on my hands, play Dumm and keep my pie hole shut. Mike/EZ

I guess my vent is the US Mail System. I don't need to go into specifics, even the Mail Building is filthy, the drive full of potholes and the Floor of the building filthy and Tile coming up, you get the picture, I'm sure. The US Mail system needs to be fired and a New US Mail built. The system is simply designed with the Pony Express ideas not the needs of massive movement of real mail and the reduction in the Junk mail. Junk mail takes up 2/3 of the mail delivered. All just bad Advertisements and a waste of time. Insurance companies want to remove mail payments and just take it out of our bank account. Thas how bad the USA mail system is becoming. The Insurance companies do not want to screw up your insurance because our check doesn't arrive early. Hahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahah! There was a time when you received Bills and
Letters from the Family, friends, neighbors etc. Junk mail didn't exist. Now a mailman says the US Mail would not exist if it wasn't for Junk mail paying and Amazon and Ebay and the other online B.S. Heck Weekend deliveries especially Sunday you can count on them being there. If its online stuff. Maybe "The USA goes as the US Mail Delivers is a wise thought" hahahhahahahhahahhaaahahahahahaahah

Bass I would cut up the card and send a piece of the Chip back to the Company as proof its done.

That was 20 years ago, before all the cards had chips in them. Once the card was canceled the assigned a new account number to me and sent cards with it. The old account no longer existed so the old cards were useless.
