TOO FUNNY-- Great post. I think the scariest one is You start asking people at work how much interest they're paying on their cards - and start explaining ways to get it lowered - even though nobody asked. and Breeze's corollary. LOLAP (and printing-- the true sign of a classic post) Thanks
You rack your brain thinking of other top credit addict signs just to get your post bumped to the top of the list again
24) You start to hate Sunday just because it's not bussines day and you can't see any changes on your credit report or credit card statement online,you don't get regular snail mail either...oh what a boring day...
Your favorite sob story. I couldn't pay on time because my grandma died. (Grandma has passed on 28 times now). ~
I think there'll be a tie for #1: Coming home with a swollen face after oral surgery, and the very first thing you do is check Creditnet for new posts!
25) You call home from the office and ask your wife if you got anything in the mail. You then ask her to feel the envelopes for cards.
#26 You apply for a card (ummmm... let's just say - gulp - First USA Readers Digest Plat. MC) call their application status number - hear that "your application is under review" and then call 12 more times on the same day - ask to speak to a CS representative and each time innocently ask if they know the status of your application. If it sounds like it may be the same CS person you spoke to half an hour ago - you hang up and try again - waiting for someone you haven't spoken to yet.
#27) Your inbox is at critical level, because you check creditnet and spend hours reading the posts and forget to check your own email.
#28) You check Creditnet every hour just to see if someone has posted about a CC that you don't know about. fla-tan
Jr - LOL! IF I had a wife - uh - no I don't - I bet I would not have to TELL HER to ffel the envelops for cards.....tey'd be opened and USED no doubt by the time I got home....just kidding........LOL! aarrfff dogman
29) You get your first platinum card. It look's so nice that you don't use it for at least 3 weeks because you don't want to get the card scratched.
Your "credit" subfolder in "my documents" is 26.3 megs, has 2,309 files, in 171 folders. Yep, that's what it says here.
31. You're sitting on the beach, on vacation (like I was last week), thinking, "Now are my dispute results due on JUNE 6 or JUNE 7?"
Hi, My name is Annie and I am a Creditnet addict. But I gain 35 points on Experian and I can quit CreditNet anytime I want to, I just don't want to, LOL!
32. You spend a good portion of your day debating with yourself whether or not you should try applying for yet another Citi card - even tho you just combined the two you had - and you truly do not need any more credit.
33. You wake up in the middle of the night to use the "facilities" and on the way back to bed you stop by the computer to see if anyone has posted anything new since you went to bed. (and you don't even have your glasses on!)
35. You actually post an OATH on this board (do search: No more credit application-OATH) to get members to join you in your efforts to REFRAIN from applying for any more cards for at least six months!
36. You call First USA's application status line 15 times a day - morning - noon and night - because - even though it annoys the hell out of you to hear the recorded "your application is under review. We'll notify you within 30 days blablabla" you get a shameful, secret thrill in knowing that calling this 1-800 application status line is costing them money, thinking to yourself - 'it serves them right for making me wait so long for an answer!" so sad.
