So the AMEX bill arrived, bearing with it the single largest bottom line I’ve ever seen on a credit card statement. Eeek!
Well, it’s because they’ve combined the current state of the Refrigerator Fiasco with a gigantic and breathtaking clerical error.
Error the first: When it looked like I might be able to get rid of the ridiculous GE refrigerator that I stupidly bought from B&B Appliances, a local (and highly questionable!) vendor, I decided I’d better acquire a new, functional fridge before the present thing goes out the door, lest all the food in the house spoil.
Sooo…I went over to Home Depot and ordered a nice new LG refrigerator. They arranged for delivery, a few days later, and we all went on about our business.
Events evolved…
The GE refrigerator eventually quieted down. Nowadays, it’s making no more noise than any normal refrigerator does — meaning that, hallelujah brothers and sisters, it can’t be heard in the back bedroom on the far end of the house. At least, not so’s it keeps you from falling asleep at night.
Observing this, I went back over to HD — in person, no less — and canceled the order for their refrigerator.
So…okay, if the matter isn’t resolved between American Express and B&B, it’ll be no skin off my proverbial teeth.
Thus thought I, until that AMEX statement came flying into the mailbox.
They charged me TWICE for B&B’s accursed fridge. And no, they never did register a credit for the piece of junk. Meanwhile, Home Depot’s charge also appears on that bill.
So now I’ve got THREE REFRIGERATORS charged up on my AMEX card!!!!!!!!!
Heeeee!
Just now, WonderAccountant has the AMEX bill. She’s busy with other clients’ work right this instant, so we’ll have to wait or day or three to figure out exactly what to say to the factotums at American Express.
Just keeps getting better and better, doesn’t it?
I’m speechless!
