Baby gets credit card application!

[chemicaleyes]

Saw this on another board, but it's too funny

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/w...re/3712197.stm

" A 13-month-old baby in Leeds has been given an apology from Barclaycard after they sent her an application for a credit card.

Abi McDermott Knott, of Armley, was sent a form inviting her to apply for a platinum card with 0% interest until December. "

A few months ago they did a story on the Today show about a dog who got a CC application. The owner thought it was funny so he filled it out. They actually sent the card! The owner was ticked because the dog got a better interest rate than he had.

when i was doing telemarketing for 3 months years back, i got a number for a guy that was handicapped. his mom chewed me out on the phone so bad too hah. "wtf does my son need a credit card for, he cant even bathe himself" etc.. .

i had a couple of calls where the person was dead, that always sucked..

i got to call a "Harry Sacks" once, so that that made the job worth it right there.
