I think it's laziness, mainly. I don't have to pay the bill.

I pay all of my credit cards off - every billing cycle. I've never paid any interest or late charges.

But, Mrs. George is, well, neglectful and doesn't really pay attention.

I do, so it works out.

Mrs. Phibes used to pay all the bills, but she had a nasty habit of waiting until the last possible minute, and we ended up paying last months bill with next month's paycheck, which used to give me ulcers.

Sounds familiar.

"How much can I pay on this credit card?"

"Yeah, pay it all..."

"Really?"

"Yeah, pay it FUCKING ALL."

[Copper]

I have had the conversation

Some things I will never understand

Yes, really
Always

waiting until the last possible minute

No, pay it now, today, the day it arrives, don't wait even one minute

My credit card is on autopay for the full amount. I never have to think about it. Yet I get AMZN points (as good as cash) and the protections described by D’Oh.

Yeah, MFR knows that if a credit card bill is not paid on time in full I go all Attila the Hun.

Haven’t known my debit card pin for years. Never use it.

[Aqua Letifer]

I pay mine off in full just about every time I take a shit.

Sorry, but it's true.

My debit has been hacked a couple of times. No big deal, money is back in a day, two at most. I just swap to another in the mean time.

Same here.

I ordered something in the Apple store today and got a peculiar Paypal transaction.

They've already sent the package. I wonder whether they'll forget about the remaining 1200 Euros. If they do -

Thanks, Apple!

A while ago, I posted a story about how retailers are finding it cheaper to just refund, rather than ship a return.

This afternoon, I had a delivery of some cat food (you're welcome, @Boris). It was a package of 24 cans, and it was shipped with two other items in the box.

Three of the cans popped open.

I sent a message to Amazon about returning the shipment, and they said, "Nah, just keep it. We'll ship a replacement."

I got 21 free cans.

Dr. Jones was shopping at his local grocery store when he saw the wife of one of his patients doing her shopping. He noticed her cart was filled with dog food. He greets her.. "Hello Mrs. Smith, I didn't know you folks had a dog!" Mrs. Smith says "oh, we don't have a dog. Harold eats this. He loves it!" Dr. Jones is shocked, and says "Mrs. Smith, as your doctor is must warn you that it is dangerous for your husband to eat dog food! It could kill him! You must stop it right away!" Mrs. Smith says she will talk to her husband about it when she gets home.

A month or so later Dr Jones sees Mrs. Smith in the grocers again, but this time she has no dog food it her cart. He says "Mrs. Smith, I'm glad to see that your husband has stopped eating dog food!" Mrs. Smith says "oh, he didn't stop. In fact he ate it right up until the day he died." Dr. Jones says "I fold you it would kill him." Mrs. Smith says "nah, that wasn't what killed him. He was sitting in the middle of the road licking his balls and got hit by a car..."

You really should have a bowel movement more than once a month, dude. Then again, we've always said you're full of shit!

Speak for yourself! At least my diarrhea comes out of the right orifice!
