Things I find a tad exasperating v.3

[King Postwhore]

I expect people to be honest. That is a crime Ben. Even if it's a mistake.  That woman is stealing his money. There's no debate here.

Not reading Ben's posts, but I did do a quick google search on this. Can't find any evidence that accepting a venmo sent you by mistake is a crime. Seems legal.

Many posts, however, about how people should NOT refund an accidental venmo cash send because it could be a scam. Doesn't sound like this was her thought process though.

[cramx3]

He did own up to his mistake, dude. Terrible take, Ben. Terrible.

This

[El Barto]

A: Chino owned up to it in a big, big way.
B: He explained that it was her shit attitude that was the problem. She was essentially rubbing it in.

So yeah, bad take.

Also, it's unfortunate but not surprising that if a bank accidentally gives you money (it's happened to me) it's a crime to refuse to give it back. If a citizen does it they're fucked. Gotta make sure we look after the right interests, after all.

I'd probably lean towards Jingle's approach. "Best $350 I've ever spent. A+++++++."

This is a common scam. If anyone accidentally sends you money, you tell them to have Venmo or Paypal or whatever refund it. Do not send it back yourself.

Few years back I received $900 through Zelle (I don't use Venmo). I immediately contacted the bank and told them I did not know the sender and to send it back and the response was "We can't send it back it the money was transferred through a cash app. If the person request the money, We do not recommend you send it back since it could compromise your account and we are not responsible for it. Keep the money in your account and let the sender dispute it with his bank". Few days later articles started coming up that people's accounts were being hacked through this method. I believe Zelle lets you "cancel" the transfer if you send it to the wrong person, I guess Venmo doesn't have that.

I agree with Chino that the frustrating part was that she responded, and was kind of mocking him about it.

[Adami]

I wonder if she thought Chino was trying to scam her and she was responding the way some of us might to a Nigerian prince. We all know Chino isn't a scammer, but to her, she might just be thinking that she's not going to fall for it.


Edit: or she’s just a dick.

[King Postwhore]

Adami,  you are correct. You have to go back to the bank to get your money back if you have coverage.

I still personally look at it as theft since the female knew it was sent in error.  I would spam her face on every sociL media calling her a Thief.

You actually think she has $350 dollars to send Chino his money back? I doubt it if she kept the money. Also, what do you expect her to do about it, if Adami is correct, this would be the banks issue, not hers. And this was advised for him not to return the money back.

My point exactly. I, and we, do not know this person. So I won't be assuming her character for a mistake I made, because she won't do what I consider to be the moral thing to do.


Isn't taking risks fun...

[King Postwhore]

I expect her to be a good human and pay back the $350.0p.  Not taunt the guy for making a mistake. Ben, if some girl got money by accident from you snd she told you too bad sucka, your be livid.

[King Postwhore]

BTW, Ben. His name is in the app sending it to her. So she can verify if it's him or not.

Fuck that.  We know she's a bitch.

[wolfking]

I'm not well versed in how Venmo works, and thanks to a fat fingering on my phone's screen, I managed to send $350 to the wrong account. I found the user on Facebook since she used her real name on Venmo, and her reply was "Lol. Sucks. Already sent to my BF. He got it now ✌".

I hope her holidays are terrible.

She may be considered horrible for not returning money, and for this I am sympathetic.

But I am wondering why not just own up to your mistake rather than blaming her for it. This is a big reason why I was told by my teachers in school to double check your work. It's not her fault you sent money to the wrong person.

This is one of those things where I say. "I am sorry, but consequences for accidents suck don't they?"

What the fuck is wrong with you?

I was thinking the same thing.  It's disgusting that anyone would try to defend this.

AAUUUGHHHH

For some reason, the student portal is giving me an "access denied" message when I try to log into my Office Suite, which has been working JUST FINE the last two semesters. I don't have access to any of my apps. I've tried logging out, logging back in, reinstalling, using the Microsoft re-activation tool, Microsoft login fixer application, and NOTHING. I've spent the past few days struggling with this, and I finally did something I HATE DOING. I called my college's tech support and now have an open ticket.

I have assignments due, so now I'm stuck using OnlyOffice. I mean, it's not bad, but it's not the interface I'm used to.

It's scenarios like this that make me lament the move towards cloud services and SAAS.

She is just a bitch in my opinion but there is a scam out there (I think mainly with zelle but I could be wrong) where you'll get money sent to you and then be asked for it back. I'm not sure if Zelle (or venmo) have found a way around this but it was a thing for a bit.

For real. Does Office even offer a one-time payment version anymore?

Doubt it.  But you can have a local copy of the applications on your computer.

The Adderall shortage.


So I started taking like 9 months ago and it completely changed my life. I've been able to focus and feel normal. Like it's amazing.

Anyways there's been a shortage for a while, and that combined with the fact that it's a federally regulated drug (lol amphetamines), makes it a huge pain in the ass to get. It can only be filled every 30 days... Which gives me a very small window to get it filled before I thn out. Add in the fact that once I am able to try to fill it, I have to play the game of "what can the pharmacy get ahold of and have my doctor adjust my Rx to March that (luckily I have 2 different doses I take through out the day and can adjust a little depending on what's going on... As well as use my smaller afternoon dose pills as a replacement for my larger extended release dose I take in the morning...)

Currently I'm sitting at my pharmacy while the scramble to try to figure out the puzzle needed to get me my meds. I'm just lucky that the new pharmacist here actually gives a shit. The pharmacist here (Walmart... Yea I know) used to just blow shit off...

We live in a world where you post a password joke meme with a soccer players last name and your called a racist for it. Chad and RJ know about it. The guy knows me. I was so upset about it I didn't sleep well last night.

I think my past history shows I'm not that. The world we live in these days.

Imo, I think the response is more a reflection of the person making it (insecurities), rather than you.

[King Postwhore]

I know but it bugged me all night since he knows me. I've never done something like that and he should have known that.

He's friends with Mason DTVT and have had dinner a few times before DT shows.  We've talked a lot online.  Tim, do you think I'm that type of person?  I know I'm not so it shocked me a bit.  I try to post silly stuff online.  Life is too serious.  I know you know that.  It hurt me a bit.  I know like Chad said it's on him but it hurt to read.

[TAC]

Any chance he wasn't being serious, and just busting your balls? Did you reach out to him?

[Stadler]

is this something I can see somewhere?  I know Joe to be a kind, caring man.  The internet is a cesspool at times; sounds like this is one of them.

[King Postwhore]

I did but no response.  He's in San Fran with his wife. 

Stads. I'm PM on Twitter to you.

[TAC]

Joe, fuck him them. If he can't take a joke. If he had a problem, he should've said something to you privately.

Seriously, calling you out in public was a douche move. Friends should be able to let someone know of they've overstepped their boundaries.

He hung you out to dry. Fuck him!

[King Postwhore]

I agree Tim.  I was upset and mad about it.

[hefdaddy42]

I saw that on FB and thought it was hilarious.  Nothing racist about it, or about you.

I don't think this person really knows what "racist" means.

I'm with Hef on this one.  I'm quarter Polack on my dad's side (my dad spoke only Polish until he went to grade school) and I think that's  funny as hell.
