I found keeping my credit file locked on the regular alleviates some of this anxiety. If I want to do a major purchase or get new credit I just log in, unlock it for the check, and then relock it. I believe fraud involving new socials is pretty rare, it's mainly scam accounts on your existing social and this prevents it.

Yea I'm not really concerned ATM because it's only actually CC numbers that got pinched each time so I just get a new card and move on. I don't actually join the clubs or membership bullshit like target red card where there's anything more useful for identity theft.

I do something similar. I got hit by fraud a lot after I opened my small business. I started funelling all payments through Divvy and keep the cards locked when not in use. Divvy lets you freeze and unfreeze cards with a click, and set up individual virtual cards for different vendors. Not saying that makes sense for personal expenses necessarily, just chiming in to agree with the locked cards strategy.

Tons (dozens) of random cars in the area with "Please be patient, student driver" stickers on the back. No you aren't, fucker. You just suck at driving!

Got email from electric supplier, dear valued customer just to let you know, bend over and get ready for shafting. We're changing your cost per unit from 25p a unit to 41p a unit, Thanks nice to know you. So phoned them up, on website they have price at 26p a unit, expecting them to go ok as youre thinking leaving heres a new deal. But no, only available to new cumstomers only, ill be on 41p!
So found another supplier of which there were several at 26p a unit, changed to them, then got a phone call from current one who ive been with for 15 years and always been great, sorry to hear youre leaving heres a new offer just for you 27p a unit. Told them to shove up ass, shudda offered me that in first place.
Thats difference to me of around £1 a day so £28 a month or £364 a year for absolutely nothing different, exact same zapp zapp juice coming through cables Rustled

I don't really get the new customer deals. Yeah, I know it's to drum up business, but if you can't do that for your existing customers who have an excellent history of paying on time, being long term customers, and all that crap, then fuck you right in the front hole.

First off it's bonus hole

Secondly because like mail in rebates and other marketing gimmicks it's long been proven that people are lazy. They do it because it works.

Walk from employee parking lot to building is an across the street up the hill hike, and it's drizzling

A coworker, member of security, is out of uniform and driving down the hill. He waved at me, honked the horn, came to a complete stop with cars behind him pilling up.

So I walked the few feet over to get to his window. What's up?

"I have COVID," he said.

Then the cars beeped their horns and he drove off. WTF

Way to start a day
