Before we begin today’s adventure
So, I’ve been waiting on Netspend to send me a refund check for almost a month now. When I called last week, they guaranteed it would be here on Monday od this week. Being that my friend was out of town (I’m having the check sent to her place), I had to wait until today to find out if the check had arrived or not. Mind you, the time before this last time, I was told it was being sent out.
I got into this mess when I purchased a prepaid debit card of theirs about a month ago. When I went to purchase a new bike, what happened to old bike here, they told me I won’t be able to draw out the money until I sent in proof of who I was and where I was living, never mind I had to show proof of who I was to get the card.. After losing my shit, poorly handled by me (I know), they told me then that the refund check would be sent out - without verifying who I am or without proof that I live at recorded address 😳🤨🤬.
Calling back today, Friday, they guarantee it will be here by the 26th of this month. I told the woman on the other end that I know what the word guarantee means, and they have guaranteed me before. I then ask what happens when/if my money doesn’t come on the day I’m guaranteed it will arrive. - Insert blank response - Then, ”Sir, I guarantee it will be there.” Ya ... at this point I told her how meaningless that word guarantee was coming from this company. All I can do is wait. If it doesn’t show up, again, I’m instructed to call back. But, where is the compensation for my time?
I’m now going to use that money to purchase a really nice laptop so that I can write on it instead of this iPhone. I’m about $200 shy of getting what I want - I love quality products 🤗😁). If you’re someone who can and will send me some extra coin, THANKS SO VERY MUCH! All others, upvoting and resteeming helps a lot and THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
On to today’s adventure: Guarantee:
Appetition is the seeking after something, to desire it. The guarantee of appetitost and the fine wine to accompany it was made by our guide, Astrid. He told us the forest is the appetizer before the first meal is to be eaten. My wife and I were not applauding him for this delay, because we had nothing but an apple between us on this long hike up the steep mountain.
”Keep your eyes peeled,” Astrid says in a low, slyish voice. ”Our applecart may be hastily changed by the animals in this forest.”
My wife leans close to me. Her mouth next to my ear and whispers, ”He’s turning an apple-green color.”
I looked upon the man with an apple of discord before she said this. But now, the applesauce he had spoken before was beginning to sink in. Yet, applicable evidence shows we are lost without him, being from foreign lands and all. I spot an applicator in his hand for the first time. ”What is going on here,?” I ask myself.
My eyes snap open to see the appliqué above me. I’m strapped to a bed ... the appliquer laughs. ”Applosion!” he screams. I’m not breathing. ”Apply your wits, and you’ll be fine. I guarantee it,” he says. My vision goes dark.
