What cheeses me off

There used to be a similiar thread theme on the elderly using post offices for banking selfishly holding up the queues but don’t think I have seen those posts in a while

That’s because she’s been banned

I think it is time to move on from the phlebotomy/doctor’s appointment discussion for a while.

Unless of course it *is* possible to change someone’s opinion on the internet.

Try contacting Choice. They just lurrrve these sorts of cough methods telcos, cable services etc use to what can only be described as scam customers. They'll be able to give you some advice I'm sure

Thanks. I chose instead to share the login details with 3 other households

But I am sure there is something wonderful in the shopping cart.

Other than travel-related, my first-ever Black Friday purchase ... a Dyson. So boring.

At least Mrs FB and I won't need to be CO'd when we visit due to it being unclean/untidy.

Selfish people.

Patronising people.

Web forms that scream at you in bold red 'Invalid card number you must enter a valid number' when you're only just starting to enter the first digit of a 16-digit number.

Sales staff saying 'When you're ready' at the point of sale when I already have my credit card out point blank at the machine, and we still have to wait for the machine itself to be ready. I was ready long before the machine was. Tempted to make a smart reply like 'I'm ready but you're not' but I don't want to be accused of shopping rage.

Oh. Yes. And the same with mobile numbers. Email address. Just get rid of the red warning stuff until it's needed.

And yes. Yesterday I was ordering at a takeaway. In a hurry. The operator thought she was helping me out by trying for a food bundle which might be cheaper. (And this is why food gets wasted). She tried, multiple times to add in the extra item. And failed. I didn't want the extra item and would have chucked it anyway. Finally I said could I just not bother.

Doing the washing today. Husband has a cold, I say did you check your pockets? Yes he says. I have been caught out before so rechecked his shorts pockets, nothing.
Hanging our the washing, ugh didn't check the shirt pocket. Its amazing how one tissue can shred into so many tiny pieces. Looks like its snowing!

WCMO even more is webforms that don't specify accepted card types. I had one yesterday that displayed the Amex logo after the first 2 or 3 digits, but didn't tell me Amex wasn't accepted until I submitted the form.

Scrolling on my phone, I saw an add for a company saying that they were Australia and had sales on dresses. I saw a style I liked and clicked on my size. They automatically added this dress to a cart and to my horror, they also had all my details. Name, email, address and credit card numbers. How do they have this information?
I have since googled this company and they are from China and have awful reviews. I immediately rang my credit card company and have cancelled my card.

Now annoyingly I have to wait for a new card and change my direct debits.

Full CC number with expiry date and CCV?

Lots of companies have my CC on file, but I still have to complete one or more final steps before payment.

It could have been your browser auto fill, saved card details from Google Wallet etc.

Yes it filled in everything, It must have filled in the expiry date and CCV. But on the screen it only showed the last four digits of my card, no blanks for the expiry date and CCV. So I was shocked when it automatically made the purchase.

I will now have to do a charge back on my card, but I can't do that until Monday, as the team do not work on the weekend. And wait for a new card to be issued.

That's very interesting. This transaction was actually using my phone. Usually I do most purchases on my laptop.
I just looked in my wallet on my phone and yes the offending card is in there. I don't ever recall putting it there as I usually just use the wallet for downloading concert tickets, boarding passes etc. I have since removed it, although the CC card is now cancelled anyway.

Also interesting, the name the Chinese company had was not my full first name, as it appears on my credit card, but a shortened version which is in my email.

A relief to have solved the mystery, at least.
