Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect Your New PC

I was very surprised to find out that the order I made last night for new PC parts didn't go through. Newegg.com was kind enough to inform me that my card was declined 5 times! Apparently Bank One(now Chase) has a nifty little fraud prevention system that stops charges from going through if they suspect it's fradulent. Too bad they didn't have that fucking system last year when I actually did have my card used without my permission. Oh, the other great thing about this system: It doesn't alert you that they have frozen your card. No Phone Call, No email, and I'm sure there's not going to be a letter. The only way to find out is to have your card declined and then you call them to unfreeze it. Capital One has a much better system because they will call you throughout the day, and if they can't get a hold of you, they will send you an email and a letter too.

I swear, something always goes wrong...grr
