PERSONAL: I put the PAL in PayPal.

[campylobacter]

That awkward moment when you realize you FORGOT YOUR PAYPAL PASSWORD.

That awkward moment when you reset it just as your pirated WiFi cuts off. FOR 5 HOURS.

That awkward moment when you use a certain F-bomb in PayPal's automated customer service chatbox ("Virtual Assistant") and the chatbot asks you to keep the chat "G-rated". So you use "frell" instead.

That awkward moment when you call a real tech support person at PayPal to downgrade your account to "personal" from "premier" so you won't get charged extra to send money.

Teh intarwebz iz FUN and CONVENIENT. Especially for when I'm in a socially maladjusted mood.

Ah, teh interwebz... love it when it works, hate it with the fire of a thousand exploding Netus if it doesn't.

The PayPal HelpBot kept asking me why I wanted to close my account because I typed "cancel premier". Had to repeat "DOWNGRADE" several times before it finally clued in. (And then told me to call a 1-888 number.)

Before all that, it told me how to use the Control+F function to locate the "cancel premier" link/button. DURRRR That's what started the profanity. 'Cuz SRSLY, there's NO WAY the PayPal PR Dept. would even consider putting a "cancel" anything in their user interface.

The real people at Paypal are usually quite helpful. We have an automated voice at this internet service/cable service in Canada. Her name is "Susan"...we all have a great time saying, FUCKYOUSUSAN! and she says, "I'm sorry, did you say Fuck yuou Susan?" You scream, "YES!" "I'm sorry, I didnot understand your command..."

We named our GPS Susan so we could tell her the same thing.
Oh, and my husband accidentally dyed my What teh Frell is Frak shirt blue. It was pink. poutyface!

I have no beef with RL PayPal customer service. Solved my issue instantly. I was cringing, because I just KNEW the dude was reading my tech help transcript, and probably wondering "Frell? WTF?"

Did your darling spouse launder your frelling t-shirt with brand new blue jeans?
