A Graveyard of Pin cards...

Sometimes you blame someone else for a problem you created. It happens to us all. But I will be honest in agreeing that I misjudged the whole situation.

Today I got a new blinky bank PIN card for the fifth time in seven months. The first four times the people from the, not nearly bankrupt, bank Rabobank, stayed calm and patient while helping me to get a new PIN card. Even while every time I was telling them to design better PIN cards, because I am really a neat person that doesn't jump on the card and never puts the card in the toaster (who does that anyway?).

Now I discovered that I am indirectly responsable for the problem. In every conversation with the nice helping Rabolady or Raboman they asked me the question 'Do you hold a magnet close to the PIN card?' And every time my answer was a resolute 'No.' Today I have to say all those four PIN cards ended on death row before they died a horrible dead. Poor PIN cards!

My supercool wallet has a small magnetic field. Really a very small one, which made the PIN cards, not less, sick. Day by day the magnetic strip of the PIN card got further from alive. Until the day that I tried to get some money out of the cash dispenser, and the PIN card was braindead. The magnet sucked all the life out of the magnetic field in the PIN cards. With a new nice fifth PIN card I'm in need of a new wallet. It's time to bring supercool wallet to the graveyard.

The positive thing from this whole cruel situation is that no money in my wallet meant more money on my bankaccount...
