Thieves Suck

Ok, that's not typically the kind of title you expect from my blog posts. I have a policy of always being a darlin' online (and as much as possible in the real world, too.) But today I need to rant just a teeny tiny bit.

My credit card number was stolen. Yeah, now you know why I'm not in the best mood. On a good note, the jerks who thought it was ok to steal my hard earned credit were thankfully stupid enough to screw up. They made a counterfeit of my card and swiped it in several stores in a state I haven't been to in years. Each attempted charge was for a few hundred dollars. Fortunately the genuises didn't have all their ducks in a row and the card was identified as counterfeit. The attempted charges were declined, and I've canceled my real card.

Now I get to spend too much of my too little time making sure that the businesses who need my credit card on file have the new number. WHICH I WON'T GET FOR A WEEK. Which really pisses me off because I'm leaving for vacation, and I don't like to carry much cash. So in essence, the jerks didn't rob me of anything but time and effort. I guess I was lucky.

Karma. May she come swiftly and at full force to all the jerks who think it's ok to steal from people who make their money the old-fashioned way.

Has this ever happened to you? Do you want to vent? Go ahead. We're in your corner.
