Guest Deals4Me Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 yeah it was totally killed off in my list of favorites....Wouldnt care to repeat this weekend if you begged me, and paid me off. Started normal... Dropped Darren off at his parents so we would have two cars. I went to Walmart, he went to Sears. I was 14th in line... Lady in front of me had a spare chair so I borrowed it. And lady behind me shared a quilt. Wasnt she sweet? We went in...I got EVERYTHING I wanted, the carebear, the thomas 2 pack (omg will Alex be soooo happy!!!) and the dvds advertised? they didnt have those ones... no biggie, it was a better deal at Best Buy with my best buy bucks... got Alex a vtech vsmile game, since my mom is buying the system. And a pair of pj pants and the jewelry. I totally FORGOT the peanuts. GET to the Line.... DROPPED MY debit card... SOMEONE wisked it up before I could finish setting down the item in my hand and pick it up. thank gawd I had my check book. I panicked... I hurried thru line and got in the car and ran over to Sears to find Darren. The people near him told me to get in line so I could get the giftcard too...and the lady and man darren had been talking to let him use thier cell phone to call the bank hotline. Our debits are Visa...so he called the number on the back of his. ITS APPARENTLY a MASTERCARD number!!!!! WTF? So Darren was AT the RIGHT door. I swear it. Said on the door, Reward card will be handed out at THIS DOOR. 6:05, they still didnt open the door. They DID open the otehr door and gave out the reward cards at THAT DOOR!!! The wrong damn door.. Then they opened that door and told us we were s.o.l. Not a person there stood for that. They had been at the right door. THEN someone spoted a manager in the middle giving out the cards. I managed to get one... then the manager ran away...SO EVERYONE followed him...They were TICKED.He came out a few minutes later. And gave out a few more, but said that was it.... I said loudly, Thats BS! You'll have lawsuits on your hands for saying you were handing something out at a specific door, and not doing as such. FALSE ADVERTISING. So he handed me a second card and told the remainder to wait there and he would print more. So Darren and I got Alex his elmo and some clothing. We left and went to Best Buy. Got the DVDS and my Pc game and a cd for Darren... THE LINE WAS LITTERALLY WEAVING in and out of aisles... Darren left me to wait, and then went over to Carsons for my gift and for the $10 cards we got in the paper. I waited in line.... for 2 1/2 hours! After that went to Carsons to use the remainder of the 4 cards. Darren went back to his parents house, and called the bank... When I was done at Carsons I too went back there to pick up Darren. We went home and meanwhile the bank calls us to say someone charged $280 to our card before it was canceled and they would take care of it. Thank GOD! But...It would be MONDAY before it would say otherwise. So later we go back to get alex, and went home, we stopped to eat dinner at coyote canyon with the giftcard that was from a friend... andthen went home and sat down to instal my new game that was free... MAN I love best buy bucks. Saturday morning....We left to get some groceries with money we still had... We were back by 11am... MEANWHILE, my father in law, called and left a message saying he forgot to cash the checks. so he was calling to tell us. WHICH meant, the 52 dollars in there, was now negative $7 which I didnt know till the bank was closed cause SOME people dont know how to turn the darn cell phone on. And by the WAY, that $50 check we wrote, was 2 months ago, and his mom told us that dad had cashed it. And the balance and statement reflecd the same. Yeah, so I was REAL thrilled. I yelled bloody murder at them, asking what kind of moron would cash a check when the person's debit card connected to that same account had been stoled 24 hours before? Well he told Darren we would give him $20 to last till thursday in case we needed food, and diapers and $10 of it to put in the bank to make sure we wouldnt be charged the $25 PER day for the bouncing. I've seriously been hating this whole weekend. The only good thing? I have all the sims games. the complete collection and its total cost? PLUS 20 dollars, cause I can sell the other games that I have...cause the new sims is ALL on the same set of disks. WOO HOO! -- Ashley
Guest Deals4Me Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Did I also mention that my Water meter burst??? So we had NO water. Which made no sense, we thought the pipes froze....but why werent they frozen when we left when it was 12 degrees? And then Darren checked.ERRR...
sperdue Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 I'm sorry to hear you'v had such a bad weekend. I hope it gets better soon!

mugs Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Wow... that sucks that your card was stolen. Bastards. But you're probably going to need more than $10 to put in the bank, after the overdraft fees you'll be more like $32 in the hole.
SlyGirl Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Man that really sucks. I hope your weekend has been improving and that you have water by now. But it sounds like you got alot accomplished on your Christmas shopping.

And his $50 check. So as long as I get to the bank at 7am, and hand them the $10, we'll be all good. I LOVE my bank.

Glad your bank is better than that. :)
MrsHoneybee Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Sorry you had a bad weekend. Hopefully things will improve soon. :)

Glad your bank is better than that. :)If it was a check I was giving them, HAH. I would be totally sol. But if you bring in cash to the desk, they do it immediately.
sperdue Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Oh, yeah, congrats on getting the sims complete collection!! I tried to get it too, but they were all gone That was an awesome price!
CG480 Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 hope your week is going better. I can understand how you feel. It seems like the whole world is comming down on your shoulders.
Guest all2tired Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 I'm so sorry that happened to you. I hope you won't be respnsible for th echarge that was made.
josetann Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Most banks will credit back any overdraft fees that are a direct result of an unauthorized charge.
missyjane Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Wow, I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I hope the person who took your card will be caught and penalized. But I'm glad you got everything you went after for the most part.
