I can never understand what is it with people and...
CREDIT CARDS.
Just within this week alone, I can't remember how many times I've been flocked by people (who are associated to some bank from somewhere) asking me if I 'have a credit card' and 'would you like another one'?
They don't just leave you alone when you say, I have one/two already, thanks. THEY FOLLOW YOU UP TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH! Just pass one by and he/she will follow you till you are really frustrated.
Even sitting in the ever-so-boring shop, a few of them walk in, asking me if I wanted a credit card.
"Miss, can I interest you in getting a credit card?"
"I already have one thanks."
"Get another one lah-"
"One is enough."
"You only have one meh? Mastercard or Visa?"
"I already have one, it's good enough..."
"This design nicer miss, you should take this one. Very nice!"
"I'm already (un)happy with my card..." (coz it's an evil thing, it doesn't stop you from shopping till you drop, I can drop more than 14 times in a month).
"but this one different worr. Yours from which bank?"
*BLEEP*
"Aa. Different what. Get another one lah!"
*feels like throwing a brick at her head*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OKay. So this approach is more, gentle (coming from a young lady and all). This one came from a male specimen of the species...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*walks quickly in front of supermarket, wanting to do some grocery shopping*
Miss! MISS!!! NEED A CREDIT CARD?
*turns to look while walking*
"NO THANKS!"
"YOU GOT CREDIT CARD OR NOT?"
*reaching entrance of supermarket, guy follows*
"GOT!"
"ONE ENOUGH? THIS ONE BETTER!"
*grabs shopping basket*
"IT'S OK THANKS!~"
"MISS THIS ONE THE RATES BETTER COME HAVE A LOOK LAH!"
*is inside supermarket already, so is the dude*
"I ALREADY GOT ONE OK? BYE!!!"

Seems like the bank likes it when people spend compulsively and end up owing the bank this and that. Pfft. Just when the government keeps reminding us to spend 'smartly'/'wisely', why not kick all these people to the can or something? It's really not helping us spend 'smartly'/'wisely'. Usually these people don't flock me to this extent (till they look like they wanna assist me with grocery shopping?) and in a week, I get like, 4 at the most asking me if I want to apply for a credit card... but this week, it's only Wednesday and I've gone past 4. WTF.
Despite saying this and that about being happy with one card, why push it so far? As if annoying your customers will get you what you want them to do. I'm not a good specimen to be pissing off, I think the next time I'm flocked to this extent I'll just snap. RAWR.
