I'm completely shocked-- SHOCKED-- to realize that some in here engage in recreational drug use...

Not one of the bastidges has ever once offered to share with me...

Now, on the subject of this thread, I guess I'm a dinosaur; I carry cash, and I pay with cash... when my phone bill's due (for example), I stop by the phone company and pay it... about the only exception is my DirecTV bill, I put just enough money in the bank to cover it, and pay the bill online... there's just no place around locally that I can go pay that bill, or I'd do exactly that...

The chief advantage of that is I never bounce a check... I also don't have to buy checks very often... :D

I also find it easier to keep track of my finances when they can be found in my wallet...

:laugh2:

You guys still dont' get that it's rude to take your sweet time when people are behind you and are waiting, waiting, WAITING
Get with the program BS, it's time for you to start respecting and demonstrating patience for the elderly in this country. No elderly people are going to get with YOUR program.

I'm just laughing, thinking of the telephone people reaction is when you come sauntering in, or in your aged state, hobbling in, to pay your bill lol

My program. The one where I don't inconvenience other people? It would actually be easier for them to check their accounts online as opposed to having to drive all the way there just to spend 5 minutes.

My mom, for example, isn't online. She has never used a computer and has no desire to learn. I even offered to send them a computer and pay for their Internet service.

Sometimes, people prefer to do things the way they know how to do it, and have done it for their whole life.

Sorry to burst your bubble but someone is always going to be inconvenienced in one way or another. It doesn't matter how perfect a world you create.

Just last night I was at the grocery store, picking up some sundries, and as I head into line, a couple of young bubbas dash in to get in front of me. The one guy, with a phone glued to his ear, turns in some sort of exchange refund ticket. It's large, so they have to call the manager, who's unfortunately dealing with another issue. Guy continues to talk on his phone. Lines builds up on this and the only other cashier. Manager comes over, has to take the guy to a different station to sign something. Guy comes back, gets his money.....then tells the cashier he wants two Red Man pouches. Of course, it's under lock, and requires another lengthy trip before it can be delivered. Of course, he'd waited all that time to tell them this. Hey he was on the phone! Gotta have priorities!

Young people these days, inconveniancing everyone with their self centered ways! :)

I'll give old people this. They don't talk on their cellphones in public. Which is annoying.
