So I’ve learned as well, thankfully without the frozen account. Sorry that happened to you! Mine was very close. I went to the station intending to get ten dollars of gas and instead just grabbed five... and when I checked my account I had four dollars left! So, it was a close one with me.

From what I understand there are fine print warnings at some gas stations or something, I dunno. @_@ it’s not something I ever saw or heard about. I definitely had a lot of freaking out and anxiety today.

positivitycorner said: It doesn’t happen at every gas station but it is a common enough practice that I’ve had it happen to me a few times. You could try going into to gas station and asking to be charged a specific amount on the card in advance instead of a hold.

I’ve never heard of it until this happened today :S I’ll be using either cash in the future or running it as a credit card. It’s so scary!

I'd have lied out of my ass and said I had plans that could not be cancelled.

She said a lot of other stuff too about how upset she was and normally I’d feel like crap for hurting my friend but right now I just feel good for finally telling her that she makes me feel like I don’t matter and I’m sick of it.

Is it tagged?

So my dad got this big check (long story not worth...

I’m sorry, but I’m laughing so hard right now. I hope he still gets the car of his dreams, even if it’s stereotypical. (I’m guessing he actually decided on something else though?)

Haha yeah he decided the sports car was too low for mom to be able to get in and out of. The car he’s getting is still really nice though and he is very excited. It doesn’t have a CD player, just a connection for an MP3 player so he’s been asking me questions all weekend about iPods and stuff. “Can I do this?” “Will it work like this?”

actually it might be classed as a sports car, still. I dunno. I don’t know much about cars. All I know is it’s a new model of the first car he ever drove.

I’m so happy for him, that he’s so happy. ^^

Did he really not know that was a thing?

Haha apparently. He seemed genuinely surprised.

That’s adorable.

And most only pay the minimum, too.

Yeah I am pretty sure I am getting $7.25 an hour of course that’s before taxes. I have no idea how much is gonna be taken out of my paycheck x_O

I didn’t realize not tipping for delivery was a thing until I heard stories from a friend whose parents own a Chinese restaurant. People are awful!

I’ve always made sure to tip well for deliveries. It’s always annoyed me when people don’t tip even before I was in this position. It’s probably the same people who barely tip/never tip their waitresses/waiters. And the people who didn’t tip me today? A real estate office. A place of business. -rolls eyes-

Though the home delivery was cute... there was a boy of about two and as the mum was getting the money out I said, “Hi there!” to the boy and he stared silently. I said, “I like your shirt--Mickey Mouse is awesome.” and he stared silently. The mom said, “He doesn’t talk much.” I nodded and then pulled out the pizza box and the boy throws his hands in the air and goes, “PIZZZAAAA!”

Delivery #1 - me, no tip Delivery #2 - Co-worker,...

Treat yourself, take care of yourself!

I am trying! I’ve been giving myself a lot more foot rubs than I ever did before xD I’m almost out of epsom salts though :( need to get a new bag soon. The one I got was really small so it didn’t take long.
