Fun being a grown up story.

I've had a total of one credit card my entire life. I got it during undergrad, and when I got it my credit limit was $3000. I've had the card now for almost 9 years. I don't use it much, but when I do it has always been pretty handy. I use it mostly for unexpected stuff, the last big thing I bought was a treadmill after my old one died during the winter. I finished paying off the treadmill in June. I was thinking to myself that my limit has always been $3000. I should ask for an increase to $5000. No reason other than, "just because." I called them up and talked to a nice guy about it. He filled out an application for me and said I will get the result in 2-3 business days. Well...I got that result this weekend and was a little shocked. I got a letter in the mail that said, "Congratulations! Your credit limit has been approved. Your new credit limit is $3000." I read it 2 or 3 times to make sure I was reading it right. They sent me a letter "congratulating" me on the fact my credit limit was not changed. I thought that that was a total dick move on their part. If you weren't going to change the limit, at least send me a letter that just said no. I called them up to see what the deal was. Turns out that the guy I talked too was an idiot. he apparently requested a "total limit" change of $2000. What he should have requested was a "total limit" of $5000. He put the difference between my current total and my requested total. This made the people who approve this stuff crazy, so they "re-approved" my old limit and the automated system cut me a letter. It is being fixed now.

    Bought my current car off the street. '97 Audi A4. Looked nice for being 15 years old when I bought it. Belts had been recently replaced so I figured there wasn't much that could be wrong right? Coolant system got a crack and had to be replaced. Power steering pump died. Battery died. Brand new set of tires (guy replacing the old ones said the old ones were "racing" tires.) New brake pads. New brake shoes. New tie rod ends. Leak on the rear differential (this is particularly frustrating because they could have fixed this when they did the three above. $20 part. $300 in labor.) Leak on the oil pan (now fixed.) Leak from the oil hoses. I have cupping on the tires. Belts are starting to go again. The leak on the rear differential hasn't been fixed and I finally had to add more fluid to it since it was bone dry and making funny sounds when turning the wheel.
