The incredible true adventures of-STUPID PATRICK
Intellegence and common sense are two differnt forms of knowledge, the former is learned or either born with, and common sense is learned through experience. Its quite impolite to seek enjoyment out of another persons pitfalls, yet sometimes it is much needed, encouraged, and what the hell-FUN!.
While I was attempting to catch up on some sleep last night, the phone rang, and rang. One of the gentleman callers was of course Patrick.
Sexual ambigious Patrick is my age, having met him during the computer upgrade at the hospital. A salvage/dumpster diver/garage sale/antique aficionado, we both have alot in common and the same interests. In the movie "Dead Poets Society", Robert Keating states: sucking the marrow out of life-doesn't mean choking on the bone. Patrick chokes constantly. His educational background includes a bachelors in Biology, bachelors in physiology (spelling?), masters in physiology, bachelors in nursing, and currently working towards his degree in nurse anethesist. He is constantly running around-seldom taking out time for himself to enjoy the world around him. In one year, he worked 2,000 hours of overtime-overtime, not including his regular schedueled 40hrs/week."
For those who use e-bay and paypal, the savy internet users as well, probably have encountered the plethora of fraudant e-mail i.e.: you have added a new email to your paypal acount, or you just sent so and so, x amount of money. Correct me if I'm off base, but you would know if you had done any of these previous actions. Since I know my transactions, I have previously contacted paypal, without touching any of the links in the electronic message, and found out they are fraud. No harm done. Delete the message, go on with life.
The reason for the blessed phone call from Patrick, was his inquiry if I had ever dealt with "PAYPALS (note the plural)". Evedentlly, Patrick had recieved a frauduant "paypals", believed it, clicked on the link in the email, and had started to enter all his credit card information, prior to discovering the fraud. He had just gotten off the phone with "PAYPALS", customer service center, and wanted to know my experience with it.
First and foremost, its PAYPAL (note singular). Anoyance in his use of terminolgy was justification, he had no idea what he was talkign about. Secondly, before typing any credit card information into the computer-one best know what he/she is doing.
My annoyance came directly from his lack of information, and misuse of english language. I'll hold court with anyone-strike a conversation with a stranger, on the basis it will be a conversation. Use of "you know (which Patrick said after each sentese), and use of the slang "so, yup, yeah", drives me to turn my attention elsewhere. Its a wrongful assumption that I am going to "know" exactly what your mind thinks or operates. Unfortunately, Minnesota'ns-use those words to infinity. Which annoys me to no end..........
