Random Fail: First World Problems

[Ksandra]

Two fails.

1. We are doing an article of the week in all the English classes. The lesson itself went fabulously. I did literature circles, and the kids were really motivated. The fail? I have a support class for kids who need extra help in English. The article we read was about the aftermath of the documentary Blackfish. So, I figured it was good to show the kids the actually documentary. Now I'm all kinds of depressed, and it's probably going to take another two lesson days of watching said depressing.

There was a story I had read about Citi credit cards calling for debt from a deceased. They somehow got the grand kid. They told Citi about the death but the person actually pressed about collecting the debt. The kid said something like, "what do you want me to do. They are DEAD." Citi responded by asking if there was a forwarding address to which the kid replied yes, the cemetery.

This reminded me of a second fail. I had a citi card like 15 years ago, and I remember they did something to me that was shit terrible and made me vow to never ever use Citi again.......and I can no longer remember what that shitty terrible thing was. Holy fuck I am getting old.


I bet I can search it up on bg.

BG CAN HELP WITH OLD PEOPLE'S DISEASE:

What ever you do, DON'T EVER EVER EVER EVER GET A CITI CARD. He's my annoying story:

Citicard was my first CC I ever got, I was good on payments all the way through college. Then one day I got my new card (since old one expired) and it was a citi business card. I called them up and said I didn't want a business card, they give me some speech about how it's the same but now I can expand a business! I said I didn't want a business and wanted to know how they could just issue me a new card without my approval. This time around they claimed that they got rid of the old card type and sent out a letter saying if you DIDN'T want a business card then you had to mail in saying no. I pointed out that was retarded, and of course many people won't noticed and I never remember receiving much mail. I said that was unlawful for me not signing for a new card, and the guy on the phone laughed and said "well then no one would have a business card!" Well duh you dumbass I thought.

Next time I called to try, they claimed they had to change my card type because of possible fraud on my acc....but the acc was the same it was just a business card.

Third time they claimed I had asked for it, but when I asked if they had paperwork for that, of course not.

WORST customer service ever. From hearing all the lies all I can guess is they wanted to boost their business cc sales, to make it seem they're a great card for businesses. It was ridiculous. I will never use them again.


For cc to get, I agree with the rest and say focus on lowest interest rate possible. When something comes up and you have to pay 2k for a root canal or something, that free calculator won't seem as nice.


IF you do want rewards though, AMEX is good if you fly alot, but I'm partial to CHASE. They have a lot of good cards and have great customer service from what I've seen.

Decided today was the day to gamble higher than usual on Draftkings as I normally always win and then regret not entering larger money contests. It is not going well so far.

Fail because a player I always pick is the reason I'm sucking. He's doing really well and it somehow slipped my mind that he was even playing today. 100% would have picked him if I noticed he was playing. But I guess because I was debating over whether to gamble higher than normal close to deadline, I wasn't as thorough as usual.

If I don't break even, this would only be the second time ever that I lost money on Soccer on Draftkings.

Have a duty free weekend, base decides today is a good day to perform maintenance in the barracks which entails turning off the power for 12 hours. Fuck. Whatever

Go out to eat in town and I spot my CO in full fucking NWUs with his wife and I have no choice but to greet him even though I'd rather have avoided him for looking like a tool.

Guy I sold a used gpu to on Amazon over a year ago just requested a refund. LOL.

[Jem]

Ha, that's amazing. Does it even tell you what the reason is?

Customer comments: The GPU I received has started artifacting and has stopped working correctly. Purchase date: 04/01/2015.

It's still under warranty so they can rma it. Same person is the only one to leave me a negative review on Amazon. "Item came as expected, however the bottom second fan's connection to the metal was broken off, items still runs well however temps are a bit higher than my other one which is the exact same make and model."

Gpu is a MSI GTX 770 2GB Twin Frozr edition. I personally used the card for about 14 months and nothing was ever wrong, broken, etc. But anyhow, who in their right mind tries to get a refund on a used item that was purchased over a year ago?!

Lost 14 lbs, and it only seems to be disappearing from my face and boobs. ;_;

I would have liked to have a short period with a decent size rack and a smaller tummy before the boobs went away, but NO, I'm not allowed to have anything nice when it comes to my body! Oh well. XD

[Astylla]

That's ridiculously common with women , though I'm in the minority's as with the weight I've kept off my boobs have remained the same save for a smaller bra band size.

Since there's no way to target specific areas , heavy lifting , HIIT workouts and the like seem to be your best weapon as you build muscle from my experience/friends.

Keto did wonders for me as far as my stomach went as well as cutting back on dairy.

Having terrible dreams tonight.

First, I had rejoined the Navy, and managed to be late for my first duty day and miss my first watch, then later in another dream I watched several of my friends die in a mass shooting. I'd call myself done with sleep for the night, but I've gotta work in a few hours.

What the fuck, brain.

Never had to pay in myself (hooray FL with no state tax), but the last three years I've also not received any return, as the government seizes it to pay off my federal student loans.
