Vigilance. Constant vigilance.

So today I went to check my credit card statement. Which I usually do every month but haven't done in a couple. I never use my credit cards, but I always check because in the past, somehow magically charges have appeared there for services I never wanted or signed up for, because that's how they get you. They call you on the phone or send

IIRC in Norway they can't charge you money until they have your signature confirming the contract.

Ugh - I work in customer services and I hate people like that. There's no need, EVER. She's an idiot. But hey, at least the first guy was cool, right?

I hope everything works out for you card-wise, if only so you don't have to deal with someone like that again!

That's what kills me. I did call center work for several years and for several different companies and if I ever dreamed of doing something like that to a customer I'd be fired immediately. This made things especially tough for me when calling customer service as the customer because I expected the same respect I gave all customers regardless of the nature of their call and I never, ever got it.

Shady mo'fos is what I like to call them all.

Unrelated, I made your cabbage and beef soup recipe from a few posts ago today. We just ate it and it is *delicious*. Very good autumn food.

Oh, glad you liked it! Nobody replied to that post so I wondered if it caught anyone's eye.

Oh, it did. :) I bookmarked it for later. It looks delicious!

that's just weird. i hardly ever see strange charges. in fact, i think (knock on wood) about zero. I have seen some "tip inflation" a time or two from restaurants, though.
