This is the Thread Where You Post Angry Letters You Wrote to Various Companies

Sent to American Express today:

"Thank you for the $xxx credit line reduction. Great companies always recognize loyalty, and I'm proud that you chose to reward my ten years of on time payments by a 40% credit cut.

Don't worry about the 50-point dip it will cause in my credit score, if I ever do decide to move into an actual house I'll just be sure to build one out of cardboard boxes.

Love and kisses,

<name>"

Ugh seriously this is the second card company that's done it to me in like 4 months.

have any of your own to share?

tahts weird ZS I just wrote to orville as well! synchronicity!!

I've never written one of these, but I'm about to. Getting ready to have a baby means we've been dealing with Babies R Us quite a lot, picking up some necessities and returning shower gifts and such, and goddamn if that isn't one of the worst stores ever in the world. They give you all these awesome 20% off coupons, but woe to the idiot that actually tries to use one. There is a list of exclusions at the bottom that eliminates a good 90% of their inventory, which, yeah sucks, but whatever. But these coupons also can't be used if the item in question could potentially be covered under any other promotion. For example, we tried to use a coupon for a onesie my wife had picked out. Nope, not valid, because, see, if we'd have bought $100 worth of clothes we would have gotten $10 off our total purchase. So, even though we were only spending $30 we couldn't use the coupon because the item was potentially covered by another promotion. ARGH.

Anyway, we went back again last weekend and through we had the system down cold and knew all the rules, being very selective about what we could and couldn't use coupons for. We get up to the register with four coupons to use, ALL VALID(!), but it turns out you can only use one coupon per transaction. Okay, well, annoying, but we'll ring up four transactions. Also not allowed, only three transactions allowed at a time. So I took half of our purchases and went to another line to check-out and avoid that little hassle but, no, the guy at the other check-out happened to be a manager and he refused to let us check out separately because he overhead our discussion at the other register. Just insane. The policies aren't only super unfriendly to customers, but also to employees because they force them to deal with multiple transactions per customer.

Anyway, I know that sounds like petty bitching over 20% off coupons but baby shit is expensive and its nice to be able to save money when you can.

Do angry letters to politicians count?

post them here with reponses

Dear Humpty Dumpty Potato Chips.
First let me start by sayign I love your chips, I mean they're addictive. They may actually activate a region of the addiction mechanism in a dopaminergioc pathway of my amygdala. Which is to say they may be involved in triggering memory formation.
I am wondering what the "Explosive HD FLavour" refers to as depicted on the front of the packages. Does this refer as it does in the media world to "High Definition"? How is it possible for a flavour to have more detail than regular flavour?
I am also wondering if they are named Humpty Dumpty because he had a "great fall" and in a similar way many of us cannot control our addictions to fatty, salty foods, so we too have "a great fall" from grace.

Please respond:

Your Loyal Fan

Hi There:

Thank you for the e-mail. When Humpty Dumpty referred to the flavour as being explosive, I believe they meant that once you put the chip in your mouth, your taste buds come alive with all the powerful flavour, kind of like an explosion of flavour in your mouth. Big Taste.

Even though the cartoon Humpty Dumpty had a big fall, I do not personally believe that is why this company is named as such. Humpty Dumpty is a lovable character and perhaps that is why the original owners decided on said name. I do not really have an answer for that question.

Thank you again for taking the time to write.

Regards,
