Choose Your Battles

Did you ever pick a fight that was too big for you, or were convinced you were in the right, but turns out you weren’t?

I got a notice from my storage unit place that the rent was due. I’d paid for a full year in advance because you get a nice discount that way, and was absolutely sure it wouldn’t come up again until August. They kept pointing to the date in their computer as if that were proof. I’m sorry, but I’ve worked with computers enough to know better, and it wasn’t matching my memory at all.

Being of the accounting persuasion, I dug up my receipt as proof they had the date wrong. Uh… yeah. About that. Not.

I was so glad when a different clerk took my payment the next day.

How about you?
