So months back, Chase bank bought out WaMu, my bank. My banking needs are simple and straightforward, so I haven't given much thought to the change. Yesterday in the mail I received my new Chase debit card. I was a little resentful at first, because I didn't want a new debit card. Now I have to change all my online shopping info and my automatic payments. Oh well.
Anyway, last night after I activated my new card, I took out my wallet and inserted the new card into its new place. Then I forgot to put my wallet back into my purse.
Fast forward to 6:40 this morning as I see the bus peak over the horizon at Simms and 32nd Ave, heading my way. My wallet is at home. I'm at the bus stop needing to get to work downtown.
Shammit.
I beg my way onto the bus, promising I'll pay double tomorrow. I don't think he believed me, but I'll show him tomorrow morning when I insert $4 into the fare box instead of $2.
I think there's a WaMu on 16th Street Mall where I can go withdraw the $2 for the ride home.
I never would have touched my wallet if I hadn't needed a new debit card. This is all Chase's fault.

Shammit indeed!
Stupid Chase.
I beg you not to use your debit card for online purchases (Use a credit card and pay of the balance every month) nor to keep your card info on file for the sake of convenience. Someone managed to get over $700 out of my checking account that way.
I got it all back in the end, but if you think getting a new debit card is inconvenient, try dealing with all that crap.
Just some friendly advice.
Sorry for that typo...
Ahhh, that stinks! Blame it on how lame-looking your new card is.
oh so sad. That stinks.
You must have some seriously shamazing skills of persuasion! Bummer, though.
It was your dazzling smile and cute shoes that won over the bus driver's heart!
