Rawr!

Dear every credit card ever,

I just want to activate my credit card.  I want to deal with the stupid menu in monotone computer voice saying "If you would prefer a credit card in sea foam green, press 34.  If you would prefer a credit card in sparkly pink, please press 35..."

I just get credit cards for travel, airline tickets, big purchases, or strange things/emergencies.  Or to buy a lappers with no interest for a year.  Other than that, everything goes on the debit card.

I want to activate the card, have it so I can use it, and hang up the phone.

I DO NOT want to hop around the kitchen for twenty minutes, with the landscapers using heavy equipment, the dogs barking at the landscaper, listening to a bored Indian dude and trying really really hard not to pull a Will Lennox "NO!  I DON'T WANT a PREMIUM PACKAGE!"  

*rawr*

I know the poor telephone dude in Mumbai has a script, it's fucking long.  It's meant to bore and berate you into signing up for the damn protection coverage or whatever.  But damn.  When I say I don't want it, once should be enough.  Eight times, having to literally talk over the dude is a pain in my ass.

Watch, I'll still get the stupid package in the mail and have to call again to cancel it.  ]x

Credit card companies are smarmy bastards.

No love, Me
