From one of the FB groups. This person went to pickup their new Grand Highlander and immediately noticed the seatbelt and a missing screw in the visor. Seems like the QC team is napping at the Princeton, Indiana too.

Saw a guy in Vegas holding a sign that said, "Not going to lie. I'm going to buy beer." I guess he gets credit for honesty. I have purchased and dropped food off on the side of the road more than a few times in Worcester. It has always been appreciated. Life can go sideways on you sometimes...

I believe recurring charges are still allowed, even if you freeze the card.

Unfortunately, not that simple. I tried that last week on the Amex website and it came back "As per your CM Agreement and/or merchant policies, we are unable to investigate this charge. Please contact the merchant directly." That's why I contacted Amazon directly yesterday. Trust me, I HATE...

I always like these examples... 1 million seconds = about 11.6 days 1 billion seconds = about 31.7 years 1 trillion seconds = about 31,700 years

So just got off the phone and the CSR from yesterday was definitely not picking up what I was putting down. I was transferred to the fraud department but not before I heard the first CSR mumble, "What did this guy do yesterday?" as he read the notes. Thanks for all the suggestions!

My FIL had a GS around 2012ish. I drove it a few times and liked everything but the lack of headroom. I'm 6'5" but can easily fit in a Kia Soul but not the GS.

Glad it's not just my yard!

My first practice was in Newtown CT and 8 of my patients were murdered in Sandyhook. I watched the police cars speed by that day. I had been to that school several times to talk to the kids about their teeth, went to 8 funerals, and interacted with the parents and siblings of these kids...

CSR had a very thick accent and was difficult to understand - I THINK they were treating it as if I lost my card and not fraud. I'm on the phone with Amex now and I made it clear it's fraud. Thankfully, this person seems more with it - reviewing my account right now. The whole experience...

Well, I can assure everyone, no one has dropped any boxes of ticks in my yard.

I noticed a charge on one of my business credit cards for an Amazon Prime charge for $16.45. I have a few Prime accounts for various businesses I own and I checked all of them and none of them use this credit card - I assume it's fraudulent. No one else has use of this card. I called Amazon...

Yard is clean, bushes are all trimmed, no clutter or access to garbage, the issue is I'm surrounded by woods that are owned by neighbors. We do have a lot of wildlife - in the past week we've seen fox three times, a bear twice, a couple rabbits, a raccoon, and then the usual squirrels and...

Sure, but now they share them, and it made me stop and think about it.

I guess I'm surprised about the reasons more than anything else. I do a lot of thinking about what I purchase for multiple tens of thousands of dollars. Add to that many are open about continuously being underwater on their trades, rolling the negative equity into the deal, and it was just...
