#so i have an app to pay train and bus fares with #and i'm living at the cusp of two counties and they have different fares #luckily i don't have to cross the county borders so i don't have to deal with that hassle but yesterday when i was #miles away from home and needed to get the bus to a hub city so i could get the train home from there #the app stopped working #and basically told me it's an invalid area fare or whatever when i never left my county #so okay whatever the hub city has ticket machines if i can just manage to get on the bus i can buy a train ticket there #turns out tho that i was about a buck short on the bus ticket and that they don't take debit cards #so since my sister took the car to work i had no other choice than to walk #two and a half whole ass miles to get to her workplace arriving just in time to hitch a ride home with her #and i guess so far that makes for a funny story but when i returned home i checked my paypal and bank accounts just to see that #they still took 35 BUCKS out of my account because my ticket request filed 7 times #and they take 5 bucks put of your account temporarily until the authorisation has been processed #but the authorisation never happened because i didn't get a ticket #so those seven ticket requests that somehow filed are still in an authorisation process #24 hours after i didn't get on the bus because i didn't get a ticket #and i can't call anyone about it until tomorrow because no one works on sundays here #and i'm only ~slightly~ fuming about it #paying 35 bucks for something that's meant to be 4 bucks and that i didn't get anyway having to walk all those miles instead #they better not try to talk their way out of this tomorrow
