They seem to believe that disabled person = nice person. And then have to virtue signal this by being pro disabled/lgbtqia+ and vocally anti Tory.Wowzers, I haven't been on this thread for a while and I can't believe she. is. still. going.
I don't think I have ever come across a more unpleasant, charmless, joyless person- what I don't understand is why do so many people respond to her so kindly and generously?
I think it’s also partly that middle class Twitter like to adopt a pet povvo, something that Monroe also plays to the max with everything she’s worth. I don’t think anyone who follows RM thinks she’s a nice person but it’s ok to be a nasty, vile cunt if you’re perceived as a poor person who wants to stick it to the Tories.They seem to believe that disabled person = nice person.

Maybe 1-in-5 is her gin:tonic ratio.It’s ok - by telling everyone her phone was dangerous and then acting all shocked I’ve the cost of a new one, there would have been a few pennies from the Paypigs so no benefits would have been wasted.
Wonder how many of her friends and enemies were getting smashed last night - not that many I imagine because, you know, work. Btw - how is the zine going, scrounger?
incidentally - these two posts are not related and there will be a flare post very very soon.
She's just popped up on my timeline on Twitter even though I thought I blocked her as even seeing 1 tweet a week was too much for me. She is like a dementor, sucking the joy out of life. So I speed read the thread and here I am.That's ... not how card fraud teams or credit card transactions or Shopify or any of this works, is it?
Not quite the same but it does remind me that the company I used to work for used Microsoft Access 97 for their job card database right up until they went bust in 2019.I could name 4 companies you'd all have heard of that are reliant on COBOL even though their web pages look all shiny and modern.

I can name even more companies who still have an Access database in the background of their IT solution! Again, I like my job so SHAN'T shame them.Not quite the same but it does remind me that the company I used to work for used Microsoft Access 97 for their job card database right up until they went bust in 2019.
I’d absolutely bet what has happened is after the fraud team called her, the temp authorisation for that payment was then allowed and that’s what she’s seeing but because that went through, the second transaction was rejected because the first was still there. When I’ve been called by the fraud team (an Amazon payment that apparently made it look as if it was paid from Luxembourg) I ended up having two of it on my app temporarily after I updated the payment info post call and Amazon took the payment. I had more than enough for both so obviously for me the second transaction was successful and the first disappeared after a few days.She's just popped up on my timeline on Twitter even though I thought I blocked her as even seeing 1 tweet a week was too much for me.

No, it shouldn't be! Assuming the site is reputable, then the transaction will have gone through. Within 24 hours, it'll be credited if there is no order. What it sounds like she's done is press refresh on one of those screens that says "do not press back or refresh" so its taken the money conditionally more than once. Shopify and every half decent basket system does deal with this, but not always in real time.
This happened to me in early lockdown. I was buying something from Argos which is horrific site in terms of UI and speed. This will sound a little RM / JM. The cat decided to walk on my laptop and must have stood on F5. I have 2.laptops on desk - work & mine - so she likes to sit on the one I'm not using if both are on as they are warm. She's turned Edge into full screen mode with no menus, and best of all turned off the track pad when I have no external mouse. Anyway. The credit card company (John Lewis) said that were very confident it'd be ok the next day but to contact Argos. I did, they agreed it would resolve itself but if not call back in 3 days and they'd manually refund. Next day, credit appears on my account.
Despite the modern era of instant communication, loads of system still have "overnight jobs" that do hard work while there are no / less users on. Sometimes it is just because the systems on the background are shite. I could name 4 companies you'd all have heard of that are reliant on COBOL even though their web pages look all shiny and modern. I won't, cos I like my job, and perversely enjoy paying my own way in life!
As already diagnosed, sounds like a chance to rattle the tip jar to pay for the gin.
TL/DR she's not exactly lying but she's careless with the truth.
Some banks will text you to say "did you make this payment?" or ask you to confirm things in the app. Actually calling me has never happened though, and I've made payments in US dollars a few times (Santander doesn't seem to like recurring payments in dollars though).The story stinks. Maybe I'm wrong but do bank fraud teams have the time to be ringing people up? I'm with nationwide and they're very cautious but they just block my card if they suspect fraud. I'm the one that has to ring them to sort it, they don't call me.
