Oh my god, I totally know what you mean. I accidentally signed myself up for a LoveFilm account (It's not a dodgy porno thing, like it sounds I don't know if you guys have it in the US, basically it's a movie rental thing) when my ex-friend and I got stopped in the street, and they were all "Oh, we only need your credit cards for ID, you don't have to pay anything, after three months you decide whether or not to upgrade to a paid account". Anyway. Later that month, I notice I've lost five quid from my bank. Totally scammed. Tried cancelling online, but, apparently, you have to phone up to cancel, and if there's one thing I loathe, it's phone calls

tl;dr, because I can't/won't make a phone call, I'm still losing money every month. I think I've paid for the same DVD (which I've lost when I threw out all my junk mail) for the past 8 months or so.

Cancel the card! I hate when ppl do that!

That's how I got my heart&soul tshirt. *lowers head in shame* The dude was like, sign up for this newspaper and get this Stevie Nicks tshirt! I said, "yay free!" So I signed up and 2 weeks later I called to cancel. Ooooooooh but they didn't have me in the system yet, they didn't know my info, they didn't think I signed up with them. Riiiiiiight....so a few days later, there's the charge! So I called back, really calm, to cancel. This rep had the nerve to tell me that he'll refund me one paper, but not the entire charge. No no no booboo! U will give me my money! Plus I NEVER got one paper! Well after I finished talking to the supervisor about how I was lied to, misinformed and greatly hurt and discouraged by their company, she refunded me my money! And I still have the Tshirt! Lmao!

I love Stevie, but now I know there r things that I won't do for her! Lmao!

You misunderstood. let me rephrase. Please don't assume that I only have 1 side of the story. And with that, I will let this go & alow this thread to go back to its original purpose.

I was there all night. I shouldn't drink. I apparently turn into some kind of feline.

I drink alcohol, but only weak versions - beer, wine cooler-type beverages, light wine, a very occasional margarita or weak mixed drink. I can handle all of that, but I literally cannot drink hard liquor straight. Even a really stiff mixed drink will do me in. I get very sloppy/slurry & out of control very fast. It's not good.

You should be proud of yourself for knowing your limitations, Bee.

First of all, conversations that have no interest to anyone other than the participants need to stay in PMs. I don't like to complain about being a mod but to wade through a bunch of one liners that mean NOTHING is a drag, especially at the end of a long day.

Thanks. I thought I was the only on eannoyed.

Jeez! You really don't care for your lost money, do you Hell, I'd phone up for you if you wanted. You shouldn't be losing money like that. But then again, I'm a hypocrite. Because I signed up to give a tenner a month to the NSPCC in the middle of Leeds City Centre because the guy who was canvassing was charming and had pink hair. I don't even like children, but now I'm stuck giving them money. Oh well. I give to a few charities anyway, so I guess one more won't hurt too much.

I doubt it. There's probably a fee associated with getting banned--paperwork, meetings/hearings/court costs, etc. This moderating thing is not cheap.

I think being a supporting member on these message boards one still has to abide by all the rules and it doesn't give one the right to get away with anything more than anyone else does just because you pay your money. If you're not acting up there shouldn't be cause for them to ban you and you feeling they're taking your money.
