The bright side of the Washington Mutual situation

[roseembolism]

Paying with a WaMu debit card today was a great conversation opener.

 

When I was getting my coffee this morning, the cute barrista chirped "Oh!  What do you think of the WaMu situation?"  And I allowed that I was worried at first, but it had been bought, so I doubted I was in trouble.  And then we talked for a bit on what a pity it was, because WaMu had such nice service, especially after other banks, who had bad service, or were jerks.  Wells Fargo was mentioned, and we agreed that it was the worst bank around.

Honestly, if I was single, I bet I could have gotten her number. 

So for those you out there who really want something to facilitate opening lines with potential dates, I'm willing to lend you my WaMu debit card, for a very reasonable rate.

Ecomonic crisis = dating opportunities.

Eric, you've got to find a way to bottle and sell this! :)

I could sell duplicates of my WaMu debit card, but for some reason I think someone may object.

Ooooo...a reasonable rate. Could you lend me your WaMu card? I'll need your pin code too for, y'know, authenticity. ;)

Mmm-hmm. Annd you'll also have to put money, lots of money on the card. For authenticity.

A group of us were actually out to dinner, and one friend put his part on his WaMu debit card, and the waiter told him the card would be denied since it didn't exist anymore. LOL ^_^
