Just a quick mini-post here...so I've been getting strange 800 numbers dialing my phone lately. I picked up once and it was a hangup...just annoying. So today I googled the number, 800-258-0261 and found a couple entries like this. It turns out I am not the only one.
I signed up for the now-requiring-payment Ricky Gervais Podcast at Audible.com a couple weeks ago, feeling that I enjoy it so much 5 bucks a month or so would be no big deal. Oh sure, it's all over Limewire and other peer-to-peer download sites for free, but I wanted to put money in the pocket of Gervais, et al, and support a great show.
Anywhooo...your number is required as part of the credit card process and though I usually lie, I didn't! Why? I don't know. I guess I was caught up in the whole above-boardness of it all.
Mistake.
So, if you too decide to tread the straight and narrow, just don't be too straight or too narrow with your info at Audible.
Sad to have integrity rewarded with irritation. It's a good thing integrity is its own reward. In any case, my sensibilities are reeling...3, count 'em, 3 blog entries in a matter of 24 hours. Love it. You're forgiven.
