Things Cubbie Julie can spend $3500 on without making her bank suspicious

[Andy]

The lovely and talented (muahahaha) Cubby Julie has an eloquent post today about how she lost her purse and somebody ran up $3500 on her debit card.

She's apoplectic that her bank's fraud alert system would let someone blow past her limit (and her account balance) without putting a stop to it.

So obviously it must be that whatever they bought didn't seem out of character for her.  What could that be?

This is so false, it's awesome.

"Dear Chase,

Hey, remember back in the Winter/Spring of 2008/2009 when your business was in serious trouble? If I remember correctly, you were pretty much screwed. Back then, American taxpayers, against their better judgment, I would add, ponied up $25 billion to help out your bank alone. At the time, you promised to do everything you could to pay back the money and be the kind of banking institution America would be proud of."

There was a $3500 charge at one Target alone. Yeesh.

Anyway, Chuck's fired for not urging her to go with American Chartered.

I was going to go with "things that are fried"

I would cite the link for instant rim shot, but that would be more than this joke deserves.

She's fat.  That's enough hilarity for me.

Back in Dec. somebody copied my debit card and lifted about two grand off it in two days.  I caught it before the bank, notified them, and had to wait about a week and a half for them to investigate the expenditure before they refunded me the cash.  

Two grand.  Gone for more than a week.  And when they returned it to my checking account, I was reallyfuckinggrateful.  Guess I should have gotten PISSED and blogged about how much the bank -- and their apparently ridiculous policies designed to protect me -- sucks.

I was about to make a joke about Canadian health care, but then I realized you'd probably go batshit crazy and decided not to.

Guess what, Gil.  I think you just did.  I think you just did.

But, whether you did or didn't, chances are that Kurt Evans will take it as a slight anyway.

Naw, I just would've told you the story about how I had to take my wife to the emergency room last week and we were treated in a couple of hours, while her aunt is in Florida (with travel insurance) and had to go to the emergency room and was there for at least half a day.  

Then again, since when is Florida a good representation of the rest of the US?

Like actually your "wife" or like "I'm sick of calling her my girlfriend"?
