let me tell you
what I don't consider to be a particularly interesting story
BUT
disabused me of this attitude
SORT of
BACK in the
EARLY nineties
I was having a LOT of trouble
paying my bills
I had CABLE
UNTIL THIS
I needed to PAY for my cable
I didn't have TIME to mail it
SO
I took my happy ass down to the cable building
& I dropped the CHECK off
in the DROP BOX
they SOMEHOW didn't GET it
I'm LIKE
I drove to your place of business
I DROPPED it in the DROP BOX
they are LIKE
NO, you DID NOT
if you dropped it in the DROP BOX
we would HAVE it
I'm LIKE
YES that's what I thought
THAT is WHY I felt like I NEEDED to DO THAT
is the some OLD drop box
WHERE it MIGHT have LOOKED like
the place to drop stuff, but it was SOMEHOW not
COULD you CHECK
AND
THEY are LIKE
NO
YOU DIDN'T DROP it OFF
YOU didn't PAY
I'm LIKE
OK, so your OFFICIAL STANCE is that
I am a LIAR
& I'm CONTINUING the LIE
to the point of making up
the description of
EXACTLY WHERE I dropped your payment
that I'm CLAIMING I made
THIS will be
the LAST month
for which I NEED CABLE
I don't WANT to do business with you
ANYMORE
I'll pay this AGAIN
SINCE
"you didn't receive the payment"
which I am NOT lying about
BUT
I want NOTHING further to do with
your company
there was NO NEED to call me a LIAR
