hahaha! classic thread!

firstly, this thread is genius and makes me crack up. I guess I should say, ^to the OP?...

Anyway, because MM likes to be different, I have a slightly varried version of addiction and since it's 4am, some of that need not even be explained (btw, that's 4am at my home, and not even on the road where it'd be ok to be up pacing around some hotel room or airport lounge)

==> I have jeaprodized jobs by feeling that CONSTANT urge to be on FT...

==> I have had to "do just one more thing on the computer, honey" to type my thoughts on FT...

==> I have missed great plays on the game to type about the last great play of the game on FT (the Yankees Red Sox thread, for example)

==> I have signed up for things I do not need, gotten too much spam from signing up for things I do not need, spend money on things I do not need and gotten credit cards that do give mile bonuses but do taint your credit and I have spent time calling companies and canceling things too.

==> I have spent valuable time chasing missing miles... and oh, I don't just mean the 4,500 from that flight credit you're missing from last month... I mean the 50 mile bonus or the 500 mile promo thing I printed out from something I did when I should have been outside enjoying the sunshine instead, but I now have a 10 page stapled 'packet' on and I need to call multiple levels of customer service all afternoon into some third party partner company that says it will take up to 10 weeks to give me the miles only to do it again when they don't. Chasing missing miles from scammy promos I always seem to run into even if they seem to work for everyone else on here is my thang. It consumes me. I do work it out and get my miles, but it's an uphill battle every day with every thing. Oh yes, people... I blame myself for picking ALL those battles, but FT is the culprit --hahaha.

==> I have dealt with Citibank for credit deals and missing mile offers (that one alone says it all, don't you think?)

I admit this and more!

My name is Jeff and I am a FT-olic
