I wouldn’t have the maturity to refrain from knocking those boxes over at a minimum. I would almost certainly be arrested for the first time in my life if I encountered that.

Just did my first weekly shop on behalf of my dad. (80) who is now in full lockdown.
Felt surreal talking to him through the screen door as I left his groceries on the step wearing my mask and looking like this.
Im still on public transport until i can buy a bike. Fortunately it’s all pretty quiet and I can maintain lots of space.

Do it all at once - like in one day. Once those other cards see your balance going up they’ll shut you down immediately. I’ve got about $80k of unsecured credit over 3 CCs. I’ve wondered if I could hit it all at the same time and skip the country.

I hope that after I die, people will say of me: “That guy sure owed me a lot of money.”

If that’s what he meant, then that’s fine. Buy and buy and buy is not normally how people describe that, though. Looks like he kind of cleared it up in a subsequent post. So my jimmies are unrustled.
Yeah our 24-hour Kroger is now 8-9 daily

Because it’s fraud. If you start swinging your fists and walking towards someone it’s your fault when you hit them, not their’s for not getting out of the way.
Do what you want, you’re all growed up but don’t try and sell fraud as your plan B and think people are going to applaud you for sticking it to the man.

How many tests do you think will eventually be done in the US? Closer to South Korea or Russia per capita?
Probably S. Korea because more people live in blue states and they’ll go crazy.
I realize that you didn’t actually say you would do it, but it should go without saying that if you did it would be a huge dick move. Especially for money you don’t actually need.
It would be more than a dick move it would be a massive crime.

Agreed. Didn’t mean to suggest otherwise.
I mean I’m basically talking about trying to smuggle $80k cash out of the country or something. Obviously I’m super serious here.
You now what’s really a dick move? Credit card companies giving me a huge credit line all throughout my 20s and then jacking up my rates to 27% as soon as I used 1/2 of it. Because hey your credit rating went down (because you borrowed the money we told you you could borrow) .
Some of them didn’t even give me the option of cancelling the card and paying it off under the old terms. Nope - new terms - pray we don’t alter the deal any further. Read the fine print we can do anything we want.
Love those guys! Love predatory business practices.

The getting the money out of the country part is trivial., and depending on how you do it, may not even be criminal. The problem is the stealing. I get that this is imaginary.
Yes. That’s a dick move too.
Narrator: It wasn’t

Wait are we really talking down on people for potentially stealing money from credit card companies?

Kind of depends on the circumstances. If you’ve got no good options and need to feed yourself, go nuts .
If you’re pretty well off and want some extra money to travel the world, then fuck you.
All hypothetical, of course.
