>>60663350My old man who was generally very responsible with finances had an outstanding stealth credit card from one of the shittiest consumer banks. The outstanding balance was only around $370 and I went to pay it off one day with cash, and there was some niggermorole about doing that. One of the bank clerks was like a danger-haired tranny weirdo, and I'm a pretty easy-going guy buy caught myself thinking along the lines "Of course there's a lisping fuckface behind the counter."
Anyway, in my busy life I missed a deadline for payment and they sent it to collections. Flash forward three years later (forty telephone calls) and I'm still doing the Sam Hyde thing:
"Aw shucks, Brenda, it's been a difficult last few days. I needed new tires for my truck and it drained all my cigarette and beer money for the upcoming few weeks. Now I'm down to bottle money from the depot just to get a hand job from the nice fellow who hangs-out under the bridge! How much do I still owe your outfit?"
"Forty-eight dollars and eleven cents."
"Good god. I'd love to tell you that such an amount is like a cool breeze through my bank account, Honey, but even thirty bucks would put a serious dent in my lifestyle. How about I pay $8.50 by next week?"
LOL! It's like the agency has spent over a grand so far collecting less than four-hundred bucks! WTF?
