The Moment of Truth, Repo Man, ATM Machines, and eBay

Hey everyone!

Today's article is a mixture of a lot of things. Basically, there is some random thoughts, musings, and short personal accounts ...

The topics are: Moment of Truth, the Repo Man, ATM Machines, and eBay!

Does anyone else watch Moment of Truth? That show is a disgusting train wreck of greed.

People ruin relationships with their family for the sake of money. But part of me thinks it's fake, or that they set it up so no one can really win the $500,000. All you have to do is tell the truth while hooked to a lie detector and yet the people who were dead set on going for it all lost it by lying.

That said, I would so tell my mother exactly what I think of her for $200,000.

A co-worker of mine has a daughter that is horrible about paying her car note. She was always telling her daughter that eventually it would catch up with her. Well, finally her daughter got a repo notice set.

She calls the repo company to reschedule (yes, reschedule) the repo.

What happens?

She calls her mom crying. Why? Because the repo man still showed up and took her car. She is shocked, shocked I tell you, that you can't reschedule a repo for when it's convenient for you.

I don't like to carry a lot of cash on me, but usually have about $20 for lunch since our food kart doesn't take anything else. Plus, it just bothers me not to have SOME cash on me. You never known when you're going to run across that one place that is still in the dark ages.

Anyway, recently, I forgot to put money in my wallet so I decide to hit the ATM. It charges me $7 for my with drawl! On top of that, American Express charges me $3 for the cash with drawl as well.

Honestly, when did it become OK to charge $7?

We've all heard the commercial, "Whatever it is, you can find it on Ebay."

And if you're like me, you've been sitting around your house going, "Ya know what I want? I want a Ferris Wheel. Bring me THAT, Ebay."

Well, they have. No seriously, they have.

See, I wasn't lying!
