Went to buy a new sofa in a store some miles away. Did all the paperwork, went to pay the deposit and the credit card was declined. Tried twice (or two times for those who don’t understand old English) and this time I noticed it said wrong pin….one more go. I didn’t risk it I said I would phone him to bypass the pin. I couldn’t find my mobile.
Set off home to find phone and sort card. On the way, Jan asked which card I used and I said “the green one”.
“ which green one? You’ve got two!”
Yup I had used my credit card pin on my debit card.
Got home….found the phone. Phew
Rang the guy and gave him the credit card info….declined! “ What the *****…I used this ok yesterday at the dentist!!! “
Eventually discovered I had inadvertently frozen the online/remote use option…just that option.
Rang the store again and this time it went through ok.
Store rang me a few hours later. “You are not having a good day Mr Field”. “Why?”
“ we found your driving licence under the desk”
“ put it in the letter with my receipt “.
“ sorry we have posted that already”
“See you tomorrow morning”
I think I need minder! Perhaps someone fit enough to lug around all my camera gear as well.
