karyn drama

9/29/09

yesterday some lady called security on me here at work. they called, over the loud speaker (2 times), my car make, color, and plate #. i have never known my plate #, but this yr i remember it cause its 1492............when columbus sailed the ocean blue. i was conducting group w/patients. i told the pts that i had been busted for something and had to end group early and go meet secutity at my car. one security guard was standing by the hospital operator's door w/his walkie talkie. on the way down the hall, i smiled and nodded that it was my car. he got on his walkie talkie and told the security guard in the parking lot w/the woman, "we got her, i repeat, we got her") i asked if someone had hit my car and he said that it was kind of confusing. we walked out to my car together. there stood a lady w/her arms crossed, looking ticked. she said that i had "rammed" into her van. i asked her what time she had arrived at the hospital, and she said "about one oclock". i told her that i had gotten here at 9AM. she said something, and i told her that my timeclock would prove what time i got here. she then said that she wasnt calling me a liar. i did good and held my tongue. of course she was calling me a liar. security told her that this happened on private property and damage was less than $50 and they couldnt even call the police. first...............her front bumper had dents and rust all over it. she told us that she was certain that she had walked between the 2 vehicles to go into the hospital, and THEN said that maybe MY car had ROLLED into hers. i got in my car and backed up to see the damage. NONE to either vehicle. my car was TOUCHING her, UNUSED (no plate), plastic license plate holder. this lady, apparently had wanted me to offer cash to her for "damages". i reminded her that my car was here first. securtiy asked her if she wanted my ins info...she said no, reluctantly....they asked if i wanted her ins and i asked if she HAD ins...she spewed a curt, "yes". the security guards said a few more things to her and that was it, folks. another day of drama in the life of karyn! :)

the nerve of some people trying to get over on others!!!

my sister just wrote back and commented on this too. she said that it might be a new scam for getting cash on the spot. possibly hoping i had no insurance, and her knowing that it was private property and the police wouldnt be called for such a small amount. under $50.

i had never even thought along those lines, but it would be a quick $50 if you were able to sucker some poor schmoe w/no ins, whose afraid of being turned in to the cops for no ins.

but can u believe it.................i just kept repeating that my car was there since 9am, therefore it was there before hers. thats just about every word i said, until i snottily asked if SHE had ins, AFTER she had asked me first if i had ins. whoa!!! thats the key. as i write this, i see she was fishing as to whether or not i had ins so i would be scared and offer cash on the spot. i had even forgotten that she did ask me if i had ins, right before the security guard asked each of us if we wanted to exchange ins info. whoa! good attempt at a scam.

SO................beware of people trying just about anything they can come up w/to scam money out of you.

*just another little FYI: just a couple of months ago i was the victim of identity theft. i had left work and w/drew some cash from the bank machine here at work and left to do some shopping. i went to one store and attempted to pay with my debit card. they told me that it wouldnt go thru. they tried several times. i told them that id just used it at work, less than 15 minutes ago. they tried once more w/no luck. so i wrote a check and left. i just assumed it was that stores card reader. i then went to walgreens and pulled out my debit card to pay for my purchases there. it was denied again. i told them what had just happened and they tried several times. again......no luck. again, i wrote a check and left.

my bank had caught someone using my credit card # right after i withdrew my cash at the hospital bank machine. they noticed transactions unlike any i had ever made, to someone using it to buy things outside the united states. my bank caught it after this person had made an almost $400 purchase and immediately the bank put a block on my card. of course, this happened on a friday night so i couldnt find out a thing until monday morning. another smart ploy of this type of theives. do it on the friday before a weekend.
on monday morning i called my bank to see why i couldnt use my debit card right after i had used it to w/draw money from my own account. they explained it all to me and said that the person had made 4 smaller transactions before trying to make the $400 one, and those smaller ones had slipped thru and were paid out of my account. i had to go to my bank and sign some paper stating all that had transpired and they replaced the 4 smaller debits because those, too, were made from places outside of this country. after a couple of months, it all got straightened out, but AGAIN.............thieves are very clever these days, and very bold. keep your eyes open and be very aware of whats going on around you.

just remember............when you are right, you dont have to argue or yell. MOST times, the truth will win out. when you are wrong, promptly admit it and make restitution if necessary.

i was blessed/luckey both of these times. i attribute this to the direcet result of daily prayer for wisdom and discernement. im not saying that "im all that". what i am saying is that Our Heavenly Father watches out for those who look to Him to "cover our asses" when we screw up or when others try to take advantage of His kids. just more proof that He's always watching and ready to step in on our behalf at the drop of a hat. Hes such a good and wise Father!

and the people said, "AMEN"!!!!!

monday complaints, no more
