Out of the Blue

Well, if Manstovia is to be relocated, we're taking it out in style, as yesterday I took delivery of the rotisserie unit for my grill, and am gearing up to learn the art of rotation assisted grilling. I was recently reading something grilling guru Steven Raichlen wrote about being mystified that more Americans do not do the rotisserie thing, and it struck a chord, so when I saw the rotisserie on sale, I could not resist. My grill has a separate coals holder for this, and I'm not completely picturing how it will go together, but I'm looking forward to finding out. The other neat thing is this has a light attached to it: I'll just need to work through using it safely, as it's not weatherproof (but neither is the rotisserie).

Motherfucking Paypal... so today, out of the blue, they put "limitations" on my account, which means you

A) Can't pay anything
B) Can't even close your damn account.

Why? Who the fuck knows. Apparently they just randomly decided to aggravate someone who's been using their service for 5+ years. So I need to change pw, change security questions, provide PROOF OF ADDRESS, and confirm my "home land line."

It's 2012, motherfuckers. Who the fuck still uses a fucking landline??

So after losing my shit with customer service, they say that if I just change my pw and my security questions, they can get the limitations lifted, and so sorry, and yadda yadda.

Fuck. Fine. I change the pw and the retarded security questions. (Example : "What was the name of your favorite childhood cuddle toy." Who the fuck wrote this shit?)

Log into my account, limitations lifted, okay. So I try to buy Warlock on Steam again. "Authorization failed."

Fucking dammit. That's it, I'm done. I'm closing my account. Try to log back in to Paypal : won't let me login anymore.

%RT(*&U#)*%#&U*)#&$#)*$&^@)(&$^@%(&^@#%(&^#%(_#&%^#(%

Unbefuckinglievable.

Whatever service rep I get on the phone later today is going to get themselves torn a new fucking asshole.
