Effing Best Buy

I pay them approximately 6 times more than I owe every month because I'm trying to pay off my credit card and cancel the damn thing.

I'm about three seconds late with one payment, and they slap a $35 fee on me.

I truly believe someone sits there and watches when the due date is coming up, like a ninja eBayer constantly reloading, and slaps the fee on the microsecond the due date passes.

Just say the word, Luna-san.


Best Buy in the wind:
brown leaf shuddering before
winter's cold harvest

:-D

Careful; I might start to think you're just the means by which this sword and I can be together.

Would I get to wear my hakama to bed every night?

I kind of think I should be the one to wear the hakama in the family. :p

*shrug*

It's a moot point. With any luck, neither one of us would have our pants on very much. *wink*

Eh, i'm slowly getting disillusioned with them.
I'm still in the quandary of either replacing my fading
ten year old sony 20" with a new one *plus* a stand
that will *hold* a 75-100 pound flat screen crt tv... (25"-30")
or use the same money for a 20" panasonic or sharp
lcd tv.
But i won't buy one online sight unseen and best buy only
seems to push those cheaply made samsung lcd and the very
expensive sony lcd tvs.
But what you said applies to almost any credit card even if
it's *their* fault for processing your payment slowly.
(tho i did once complain bitterly to one cc company and got the late fee canceled :)

Yes, credit companies in general these days have it timed down to the microsecond--never in our favor--
the last fee I was billed was $29, I thought I was being robbed too. This is part of the Kafkaesque
universe we live in these days :(

Just wondering why you defriended me...you don't have to answer if you don't want to, of course.

It wasn't personal - I had added a bunch of people solely because they were on various mailing lists, and reading my friends page was starting to take forever, so I did a paring-down. I think I took you out just because I don't know you well enough to ever have anything to say about your posts.
