Saw a tip of beef brisket, $70. Who the fuck are they kidding? Who can feed 4 people, one time, for $70?

   

A collection agency sent a letter to my dead wife over her Visa bill today.
I told Visa back in Feb that no, I wasn't going to make an appointment with Scotia Bank 200 km away and give them an original death certificate. The 10th time they called I told them "I" didn't have to do jack shit, it was their money and their job to figure out how to proceed, not mine.
I guess that was 'just too fucking hard' for them to figure out.

   

If you have parents or in-laws that you suspect to be deeply in debt you may be concerned that you’ll have to take on those debts when they pass away. Luckily the short answer to this question is no, at least not without your consent.

   

herbie they just don’t listen! After my mother in law passed I was trying to return some of the equipment. The woman kept saying she had to talk to the account holder. There has to be some way to get them off script and actually listen to what you’re saying. Also they probably don’t believe that the closest branch is that far away. Everyone who lives in big cities knows that there are branches everywhere. Hopefully you will get to talk to someone who actually has functional brain cells soon. Or knows that the fucken script misses things.

   

Tempted to put some ashes in an envelope with a note to press these into a fucking diamond and sell it to pay her bill.
When I get a letter addressed "to the Estate Of", and they finally give me access to her account, they will get the amount she owed at the time of her death and not one fucking cent of interest accrued since.
I don't have to jump through hoops because of their fucking problem, I don't have to pay it for her, I don't have to do their job for them or explain to them how they're supposed to do their jobs and I can't make the system work faster.
Yes I'm fucking sick of people who can't think past the script even if it costs them money. Stupid fools at Scotiabank will now get up to 40% less than what they're owed simply because they followed script and will have to pay the collection agencies cut. Morons in management, fucking morons!

   

Protip: If you tell a collection agency to never call you again, they can never call you again. Get their name and number fucking first.

   

Ye, that's the law. And if you have $100,000 to spare for lawyers and a decade of time to spend on it, someone might just maybe enforce it.
Just like all consumer protection laws....

Reslly, I'm retired. I actually enjoy wasting their time. Once I even helped one who was calling about a Visa card, explaining that it was a CORPORATE VISA and my name was only on it as the authorized company purchaser. I had sold my shares and resigned long before, the company now denying responsibility had changed it's name by one letter, opened another account in the same branch of the same bank, with the full knowledge of the staff that issued that original card. Had the same physical address, same mail address, same phone number. The new owner had purchased all the shares of all the stockholders, accepted their resignations from the Board of Directors and then stopped paying all the bills due once it did so had.
Explained how it was a corporate debt and that as the guy bought all the shares, he WAS now the corporation's owner.
Here's his name. And his mailing address. And his home phone number. And his girlfriend's name and phone number (in another town). Hope that helps you, goodbye.
They never called again.

Reminds me of a used car lot in Burnaby when I was in High School. One week it was "CORAL Autos", next month it was "LOCAR Autos", soon after "CAROLS Autos".....

   

What the fuck is wrong with the medical profession? There’s a very good reason I haven’t taken an over the counter allergy meds since the 90’s! But why the fuck would anyone listen to me I’ve just been living in this body for years and know things about it! She actually made a joke about waiting till the weekend to try the samples she gave me. I have been very careful to make sure that I have adult supervision before trying something new since the early 80’s. And yes I understand that it’s new stuff and things have changed. But during the week I am the adult for my grandson. I don’t have time to worry about a weird 1% of the population reaction! When I say in my experience the may cause drowsiness usually means I go to sleep I mean for a minimum of 12 hours and feel weird and tired after waking! There’s also some that get me stoned a somewhat fun reaction but also needs adult supervision. None of this is remotely funny. I really don’t take anything but my thyroid meds and Tylenol and am somewhat afraid to try new meds for a reason. Fuck they really piss me off.

   

Fuck!!!
This has been a day of Death By 10,000 Niggles
every single thing 'just one more step' 'no that doesn't work either' etc etc etc

   

Fuck! The dam dog got out! It’s a million degrees outside and we’re running around the neighbourhood looking for him. While we were looking everywhere with help from neighbours the little shit came home and was sitting in the yard! I was two blocks away when hubby called to tell me! I really thought we had found all the small holes!! Fuck. On the plus side we met a neighbour who works with a dog rescue. Good thing we have more chicken wire! Fuck! Apparently the new plan is chicken wire all around. Guess we’ll need more

   

Fuck. Beautiful Sunday weather, whole town is boating and swimming at the beach and I don't feel like cooking dinner just for me.
Once again, both pizza places closed. One Chinese that I'm sick of, the other too disgusting to consider. The gas station already stopped cooking chicken by 2:30...
decided I'd like fish burger and onion rings from the summer take out place. Yesterday in the sun the lineup was like 50 ppl deep so I made a sandwich. Aout 20 ppl there around noon. Went early, a little after 4nd surprise surprise, they'd closed too.
Found a food truck selling pulled pork at the beach. I don't really like that much but it's all they had. Told the owner that I thought it was illegal to sell food when people were hungry in this town. He laughed "that's why they're all here"
By the time I got home one block away and I drove, the sloppy thing soaked and dissolved the bottom of the bun and I had to turn it upside down to eat the sloppy thing. At least the dog liked it.
Fuck!!!!
Going to PG for sure next weekend where the places are fucking OPEN and even if you go to McD's it's an improvement over this shithole. Imagine that 5 hour dive and $60 worth of gas just to not cook.

For FUCKS SAKES what's wrong with these call centres? If you want people to respond at all hire people who can leave messages in clear precise ENGLISH not sounding like someone farting in a fucking bathtub.
Or this is Canada, leave it in French and I'll be so curious I'd actually try to translate and understand WTF you want!

   

You should look up some of the Scammer payback videos from Pyrogi. Those fuckers sure do try hard, but aren't well organized.
