Dude. That is messed up. And, you know, illegal.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Oh, yeah. And I told him that I was particularly angry because it was definitely deliberate, seeing as how both of us had been charged, and it was exactly twenty percent.
He started talking about how they'd like to have us back on them, etc. I said "Let's get the situation resolved before we start talking about how you're going to make it up to us."

Has anyone watched Plain Jane? I kind of like it ... it's sweet in a weird kind of way.

Okay, so they're saying that I wasn't overcharged, that it was a "pre-authorization" and I will only be charged the original amount. When I called shenanigans and said that they are obligating my card, he claimed that it was just an authorization. I said "it's a debit card, and my balance is $18 less than it should be." THEN he claimed that the bank did the additional pre-authorization, not them. I said "well, I will be calling my bank to talk with them about that." He said nothing, he just fucking lied. I'm writing a hot letter now.

Vortex, the bank thinks you ought to tip 20%. Try THAT one on, Miss Manners!! "My boyfriend thinks 15% is enough, but the bank says 20% is right..."
