1. Nothing says, "Bite me!"
like an infinite series and a well-placed application of Euler's formula.

3. I do understand ~ Don't use Fandango

I am so mad!


I just got off the phone with a WIL#ReservationsRewards---just noticed their debit on my account statement.

I called them the number listed to find out why they were changing me $10 and they said they were affiliated with Fandango Movie tickets.

I kept pressing them to explain how they got my authority to debit my account and they said that when I clicked in at fandango it asked me if I wanted a "REWARD" if you clicked YES -- they debit your account every month for $10."

Now I am remembering at Fandango I had a lot of trouble getting my tickets, I remember flashing lights like you just won the slots in Vegas.

Be very careful, because the game must be to confuse you to keep clicking to get back to the original screen and in the process you click into this slick trick!

I am furious!

After I gave her a piece of my goclark mind, she quickly said that she would "cancel my debit that they had been taking out for 10 months--- how I did not notice it on my statement is beyond me!

13. Fandango is an online website to buy movie tickets
I just notified the AG of California with their online form.

I was not good at math in school.

16. there was a story in the paper a few years ago
about a man who wrote his phone bill check to the order of "Ameobatech" and each month changed it a bit more until the final one said pay to the order of "cash this, fuckers" and they still cashed every single one.

17. That's a lot more civilized than what I came up with,
which was to put the money into a sock in the form of pennies, light it on fire, and fling it through their window...

22. A few years ago a man changed his name to illustrate displeasure.
He became legally known as "Yorkshire Bank PLC Are Fascist Bastards" - perhaps unsurprisingly he was asked to close his account, so he requested that the bank pay the balance of his account to him by cheque in her new name...

23. My ex-husband paid a bill in a big bag of pennies.
It was a collector who was hounding us. Well, he took the bag of pennies into the office, dumped it on the bill collector's desk and then said, "Now, count them."

27. I came close to doing that with GTE phone company one time.
They said I did not pay my bill and I had. And they required me to pay a 500 dollar deposit, even after I had proven I paid my phone bill. I was pissed.
