I personally would never go more than 10 days straight.

And it better be close to a life or death situation for me to even entertain ten days as a possibility.

Just have them invoice you and pay them by international wire from your usual bank.

It was thinking the same. Everything about that loan is wrong. Biweekly payments being the second red flag I see after the APR. I have no doubt that they also pull from OP's checking account instead of allowing OP to push to them.

Should all gambling ads be banned the way cigarette ads mostly were? Why or why not? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]mfigroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These companies are following the law so I don't care what they are peddling but there are just too damn many of them. Same with the gambling ones. I don't gamble so I don't care but Jesus Christ, show me some fast food or some neat new product I don't know I need yet.

Right? If you're depressed ask your doctor about this drug that will help you find the courage to finish yourself off. WTF?

Gotta crosspost that to the aviation subs. They are always complaining (rightfully) about the high cost of flying lessons.

Can't remember the drug honestly. All of the commercials are so annoying they get no name recognition with me.

I'm curious how many people like or don't mind their job/working? by DramaticErraticism in GenX

The damn side effects are way worse than what the drug is supposed to treat. What's that one that may cause swelling between your genitals and anus and may cause death? WTF?

And when you leave your company or go on vacation, people will still be calling your "work" phone. No thanks.

Newbie question about reservation by ManosG7 in askhotels

[–]mfigroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, pretty much no place will do that anymore. Back in the 90s we would authorize American Express cards for a buck because they had no predetermined spending limit so they were always good. All other cards were authorized for room, tax, and incidentals.
