While on the subject of unfairness... I really hate it that I always get declined when applying for credit cards. It's not like I plan to go on a shopping spree every weekend or buy the snazziest gadget available and then not pay for them. But as head of the family it would be nice to have that piece of plastic in my wallet in case of dire need. I have a permanent job and I'm definitely not on the minimum to below minimum wage bracket. I have all the necessary requirements and yet somehow I manage to fail. Meanwhile, the janitors and technicians of companies like Citimotors or ABS-CBN are getting credit card offers left and right. It's this "top100 companies" policy that banks have nowadays. If you happen to work in a company that is in their top100 list then you're good to go. I mean not to look down upon people who work these jobs. They're probably hardworking and dedicated people. But c'mon man. And it really boils my blood every time they ask me if I already have a credit card with other banks, because they say it makes the application easier. Hey fucking Einsteins, if I already have a credit card then I wouldn't be talking to you.
And what's up with this gadget lust that people have now? I mean, I probably love gadgets just as much as the average guy and there are some that I would love to have. I have an old iPod which was like a gift, and I adore it to death. But given the chance I would like to have either the Creative Zen Vision for its features, or the 160Gig iPod, of course for it's capacity and cheaper price. I earn good money and I work hard for it but these things would forever elude me. But riding the shuttle to and from work everyday I see these people brandishing the latest in cellphones (two in most cases) and iPods. And I don't mean to be judgmental but I'm pretty sure some of them are blue collar workers and fresh graduates earning minimum salaries. And yet they have those that I cannot afford. Ok, so a 160Gig iPod is probably more than I need you say. But as a genuine lover of great music is it such a sin to want all my music by the palm of my hands every time. Yet the people who have those new iPods just load 1-2 Gigs of crappy Pinoy pop-rock and fuckin' rn'b shit (yes, I peek at other people's playlists) and the rest is used for downloaded porn and their collection of Philippine showbiz scandals. What a waste of technology and hd real estate.
And what need is there for high school students to have those Nokia N-whatever (they can't even pronounce it right)? They don't even use it for calling so what are the chances of them using the other features? And do you really need two...for texting? I'm sorry if I seem to be bitter but at least I'm not the one trying to compensate for something through gadgets. And no, the iPhone won't make your dick bigger.
