Has your bank ever frozen your debit card?

Mine did. They suspected fraud and blocked the suspicious debit and froze my card. (They have specially modified freezers that contain credit card slots for this purpose, I imagine.)

I called them, incensed. It was true that bad people now have no access to my funds, but neither do I!

The only informatiom the first CSR gave me was Noble SSL, Italy. It rang no bells, but I know that debit and credit card charges often are made to different entities than the one I think I'm dealing with.

$44.25. Shrug. I told them I'd investigate and call back. If I DID owe someone $44.25, I didn't want to rip them off. A search of email receipts for online ourchases revealed no candidates, nor did further wracking of my brain.

I called back. The young woman looked for more information at my request.

The debit request was from Noble Air, an airline company in Bangladesh.

Thanks to invisible thieves in a far-off country I now have to wait 5-10 days for my new card.

I made this during maths today. I’m impressed
@Sadwithasmile I'm torn between chiding you for blasphemy or goofing off during a class you're supposed to be working hard to pass.

Not surprisingly, it's clever and it IS funny. Just makes my Baptist inner child uneasy. 😊

Maybe you should be seeking a Master in Memes?

@Mamapolo2016 people in class were amazed cause it means I understood something
@Sadwithasmile 😊 I know that feeling. Wait - I think - I'm not sure, but I THINK I get this!
You can do this. You have arithmetaphobia. @Mamapolo2016
@Sadwithasmile Too bad you will struggle through math now because you are not paying attention and leave with a D grade.

@MarmeeMarch I study at home. I stopped going to lectures because I study better from the lecture videos where I can pause the video, rewind and go to the bathroom.
I thought I made it up, but I just spelled it wrong.


Arithmophobia is the fear of numbers. Some people may just fear certain numbers, such as the number thirteen. The origin of the word arithmo is Greek (meaning number) and phobia is Greek (meaning fear). Arithmophobia is considered to be a specific phobia, which is discussed on the home page.
