Stupid Criminal

You hear about stupid criminals on the news sometimes, or every now and then when Jay Leno feels like mocking them. You generally assume that these people are uncommon though, afterall not every criminal can be a brain-dead moron...right?

I got a call from VISA this week telling me my credit card had been compromised, apparently they caught somebody else using my credit card number. So they had me go through all my transactions for the last 2 months with them. You know what we found? I've been paying for his Sympatico High Speed account for the past 2 months.

My first thought on the issue? What kind of moron steal a credit card number and uses it to pay for something that points to his house?!?!? Next time get me to buy you a laptop or something, at least they might not be able to trace that directly to your front door!

I don't care that he stole my credit card number and basically got me to supply his porn connection for 2 months. I'm just offended that if he was going to rip me off he wasn't more intelligent about it!!

It's bad enough being ripped off, but being ripped of by somebody that stupid makes me question my own intelligence.


TRAVEL UPDATE:
- The tickets still haven't arrived, I want to kill the guy that is taking so long to send them. Doesn't he understand that it's getting kinda urgent?

- I gave notice on my apartment today. It's not the required 60 days though, so if they can't find somebody to take the apartment I'll have to pay an extra month of rent. I don't think that'll be a problem though, it's a bachelor apartment downtown....I had to wait forever to get it originally.
