The Ownage

I also thought about titling this post “McDonalds employees have no souls”. You will soon understand why. I have always been interested in how things work. I read books on Quantum Mechanics and other Physics subjects because I want to understand how our world and universe works. I read about medical subjects because I am [...]

So I’ve been having trouble with my debit and credit cards. The most recent of which are, I tried to buy some items at Home Depot on my HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) visa and it was denied. Also my main debit card expires at the end of this month, and I have not [...]

Well here is the latest BOFA fail. I was told (by BOFA) that since I lost my job I could qualify for a mortgage adjustment, rate adjustment, or at minimum a refinance. So I call them up, and explain my situation, that I lost my job on October 30, and am doing some hourly contract [...]

Well BOFA has failed yet again. They have a history of screwing me over (just do a search in the upper right for “BOFA” for examples), so I don’t know why I am even surprised yet again. So I get a letter from the “Customer Satisfaction Department”. At first I am thinking, oh wow, maybe [...]

Every year around this time I get slapped with an annual fee on my “Visa Platinum Plus” card, whose main feature is no annual fees. I have fought Bank Of America many times on this, and failed: http://www.the-ownage.com/?p=652 http://www.the-ownage.com/?p=481 http://www.the-ownage.com/?p=480 Well, its that time of year again. I called them and gave them the usual [...]

The random messages continue…something “fishy” is going on! Apparently I get messages from *Trout, and when I reply, they see my name is some random Trout name too! Update: After having a conversation with a fellow Victim, it looks like he found what it causing it. Check the wikipedia URL in the conversation below…”Trout Bots”. [...]

I always seem to get random instant messages from people who then deny that they sent them. Here is the latest conversation: (06:43:26 PM) SpawnedTrout: Are you going to die? (06:44:52 PM) Blazer: Are you going to live? (06:45:01 PM) SpawnedTrout: do you? (06:45:50 PM) Blazer: Everyone dies. (06:46:15 PM) SpawnedTrout: Sorry, who’s this? (06:46:36 [...]

When we got our lunch break from Jury Duty, I went to the food court area, cleverly named “A Change of Venue”. They had various restuarants and food bars. There were SO many people (mostly jurors), it was crazy. I picked Taco Bell because it had the shortest line. I got my food, and there [...]

My new phone has been working great…until today, when I was greeted with the message “No access to network” on my display. I’ve tried everything I could from verifying the network settings, to installing a firmware update. The same symptoms persist. If I reboot the phone, everything works fine for about 2 minutes. I can [...]

On the way home from work today, I heard on the radio that Colorado today passed a state-wide law that says that nobody can be restricted from a private place, including bathrooms and locker rooms, based upon their gender or their “appearance of gender”. Their reason? So that trans-gendered persons will be treated fairly. I [...]
