Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for July 03, 2019

Good point.

That IS nuts

Probably because they are in disbelief that you would pay for anything.

Oh, gawd! Yet another of first-world problems. . .

They’ll let strangers pay your bills, but do you really want them to let strangers take the money out of your bank account?

They always aske me to press “1” for English but never ask me to press “9” for German.

I was at the Pharmacy the other day and was jumping through this and that hoop with the credit card machine. Then, after a few seconds of “Please wait”, it displayed “Approved”. I said “Oh, good! I’m approved to pay money!” ☺

Right, let’s get rid of all those annoying security measures – you’ll be OK with someone calling up the utility companies to add another household onto your accout.

You’ll be fine with some stranger draining your bank account.

Hey, why would you care if some criminal uses your accounts to defraud the government?

Unfortunately, I’ve never experienced someone attempting to pay my bills, but I’m all for it as long use their money.

No kidding, crazy world!

Really, anyone that wants to pay my bills please let them.

They can pay my AMEX!

I suggested something similar to my Bank once upon a time when they asked for my ID when I was making a Deposit.

If a Total Stranger shows up and wants to put money INTO my account, I have no objection.

The Teller laughed, but I still had to show her an ID.

Aunty! You’re exactly right! Please have a stranger pay my bills; just for a month.
