On the highway this morning, there was an SUV in front of me with a vanity plate reading "GEFILTE". It made me laugh.

Chase Visa is evil and, more to the point, a big pain in my ass.
Chase recently absorbed both of my credit cards and I'm convinced that they are being a pain in the ass on purpose to drive me away as an undesirable customer (I have received over $1000 in rebates from these cards and have never-until a recent "lost" payment like the one flea describes-paid the credit card company a dime).
I found a Citibank card that pays 1% rebate on all purchases and 5% on gas and groceries, so I'll use that one until Citibank realizes that they need to get rid of me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think the funniest license plate I've ever seen was a white Volkswagen Rabbit with the plate "ML8 ML8."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

That? Is brilliant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The license plate that made me most want to high five the owner was the Toyota Cressida with the plate "TROILUS."
I know, they were probably an insufferable and haughty Lit major, but still. It was Michigan, and I was starved for signs of literacy.

Wow -- how do I get transferred to the universe where Citibank doesn't suck? My experience with them has been nothing but frustration. (Lost money, ignored requests to link accounts, bogus extra fees...the list goes on and on. The only reason I haven't switched to another bank years ago is that I'm incredibly lazy, and nobody else seems to have as many ATMs.)

My friends who drive a Saturn got plates saying Tethys. Ah, science geeks. I miss watching mr. flea and mr. friend argue about why dew happens and stuff.
eta: Thanks for the recs, folks. Not sure what I'm doing yet, but a place Allyson and Matt don't have anything bad to say about must be decent (to them).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Citibank credit cards are a whole nother business from citibank consumer banking, I'm sure.

That is awesome.
And I noticed this morning that EDDIBLE got a brand new truck! Nice that I'm tracking my neighbors' purchases.

And even if you do switch, they'll probably just gobble up that bank in a year or so anyway.

That's true.
