Has this happened to you? You come home from work, your tired and generally pissed off because the traffic makes the ride home ruin the enjoyment of finishing a days work. Then there's a package in front of your door addressed to you, with no return address. First thought I had was - I didn't order anything. Where did this come from? Great, now I get another job to do - figure out what this all about. Once inside, I sit down and open it. A hard cover book "How to grow World Record Tomatoes". I have no need to grow tomatoes. The label on the box says it's from Amazon. So Pick up the phone and call their 'Customer Service' number. The rep that answered was nice, polite etc. I explained what happened and asked I should return it to Amazon. Her answer 'If you want you can, but we don't care if you just keep it' My reply: 'Am I going to be billed for this book I didn't order? Rep: 'What's the Amazon order number?' I gave it to her, a few minutes later. 'Yes I see you didn't order it, so you won't be billed for it. My advise is to just enjoy it, throw it out and forget all about it and have a nice day' My reply: ' OK. bye'. And that was the end of that, or so I thought.

Credit card bill arrives a few days later. "Amazon item ....... $29.92'. I call 'Customer Service' ME: WTF is this charge for $29.92? I called about it before and the rep said 'there was no charge I can keep it or toss it' Rep2: 'Ah ha! I see the order was posted after the call you made the first time. I'll get rid of it and your credit card will be credited' Me: 'Thank You' bye.

I waited an hour. Then I called the Credit Card company 'Customer Service' - asked them to check the days charges especially within the last couple of hours. They assured me there was a credit applied for $-29.92 from Amazon.
'Thank You' bye.

All I could think of was how I had to spend my time on the phone fixing a problem had nothing to with creating.

That all happened last week.

Last night when I got home. Guess what? There was a package on my doorstep from Amazon - addressed to me - that I did not order. This time I got a Purple Dildo. Needless to say the conversation with the Amazon Customer Service Girl was interesting. At one point I could hear a bit of laughing in the background - but I was holding back my laughter too. She actually told me 'Use it or throw it away - it's up to me' Me, being the wise ass I am said 'Right now, or should I wait till I'm off the phone?' She replied 'Up to you, sir. Have a nice day'. and she disconnected.

I'll call the Credit Card company later - I have a difficult decision to make.

Someone is using your credit card and sends packages to your address?
Sounds like someone is messing with your Amazon account (or maybe your email), not your credit card, so you might receive future "gifts".
Change password and check if the recovery email is yours maybe, or if anything was changed in your Amazon account (dunno, I don't use Amazon, could you have saved your card details for future purchases?).

Safe rule: never use your email password in any website. Someone cracks a poor site, gets your email and that site password, checks if your email has the same password then mocks with your web life. Also better change your email password.

Anyway I use paypal, is safer to complain.

BTW: I got a gift from Revolut today. I was back from vacation and it just thought 8 people meal was not cashed correctly or something so I got an unexpected big refund. Funny that everyone at the table payed me in cash and I payed the bill with my card.
I don't know if I should google that restaurant to thank their staff four our free meal.

I had a similar chat with a friend today:
If someone wants to hack your life then he only needs your email password. That's what I have pointed out: if you have the same password on your email and on Amazon then consider changing your email password first, because accessing your email means full access to Amazon aswell and to everything you do.

It is recommended you use an unique password on your email and another password for everything else.

There's a telephone pole in front of my house. Every day people walk their dog(s) on the sidewalk and without fail every single dog has to stop, sniff and piss on that pole. It starts at 5:00 AM every day, all day long and doesn't end until around 9:00 PM. A week ago someone left a bicycle leaning against that pole. I finally went out this morning and put the bike in my back yard 'tent/shed'. Who just leaves a bike leaning on a pole? It's not broken, works just fine. Doesn't have any dog piss on it! I just don't understand what the attraction is to this stupid pole. Even the cable TV people leave clamps, fuses and wire on the ground around the pole. Last month the police had one of those check your speedometer blinking signs hanging on the pole. Thankfully that's gone now. Maybe I'm just getting picky and cranky sitting in the house all the time and taking out my frustration on that telephone pole. Thanks for listening anyway.

In my town only specific items are allowed in the curbside recycle program, other stuff you have to bring to the recycle/landfill yourself. A while ago, I brought an old non-working plastic blade fan to the recycle center. and dropped it in the plastic recycle bin. Then I saw a box labeled 'xxx' and could help myself. I jumped in the bin and pulled the box out. It was full of 7" reels of 8mm film. I took the box home and finally found a 8mm projector at a local second-hand shop. These reels are all, at least the ones I've watch so far, are all porn from around the 60's. There's no sound and most are black & white as opposed to color film. Each one is around 15 minutes, if you don't pause for a paper towel. I hope my projector lasts long enough to watch them all. 60 year old porn, LMAO

Well, what ARE you going to do with it?
I guess I never answered you. Sorry. It took a while but after some, a lot, of lube and patience It worked out fairly well. My thanks to whoever ordered it and entered the wrong address! Now, when I get home I always check for a package. Great to know Amazon has a 'free' stuff policy.

I'm pretty sure I'm submissive. But, people send me messages like "Please give me a command sir. I aim to please". I want to help them out so I usually reply with whatever the last thing someone else told me to do. Am I misleading them? Maybe I should tell them go find someone else? But then I probably wouldn't get messages at all, i do like the KIK conversations/pictures though. Thoughts?

Maybe you're more of a switch? Dabbling with a little of both sides?
