Yesterday’s mail brought yet another little surprise. Citibank wants to charge their customers an “annual membership dues” of $60. You have to call them and “opt out,” which then closes your account. That’s hilarious, especially considering I forgot I had that card at all and it was in a kitchen drawer with nothing on it. I think we had taken it so I could have a card for emergencies. What are these idiots thinking? Wasn’t it enough that they were bailed out, undeservedly so, not long ago? Hey! I know! Let’s rip off our customers even more! THAT’s a good idea. I really believe I could take them all out and summarily shoot them. Credit cards in general are evil. Unfortunately, I’ve been caught up into their schemes before, but never again. If I can’t pay for it, I’m doing without.

Anyway, I finally got through on the phone this morning at OMG-It’s-Early and closed that account. That’ll be enough of that. Next?
