Pet Peeve

Okay, I have many but since I had to travel over to STJ today, here's one I find aggravating and insulting.

When you pay your money for a ticket, whether it be for a commuter book, barge trip or ferry ticket, all the tickets have an expiration date.
What gives with that? The money we pay for those tickets doesn't expire so neither should the tickets.:-X

What's your pet peeve?
(Have I just opened Pandora's Box?);)

Alana, I lost money on "10 dives" package from a local dive shop here, dive shop that will remain nameless. The 10 dives I "purchased" at the discounted rate were valid for one year. I was not aware of that at time of purchase.

Having known that, I would have used them up. And, NO we don't dive with that group anymore.

They spent the money I paid them, I lost more than half the dives I paid them for. And, I tried to use a couple of the dives only 2 days past the unknown "expiration date"...........They had my contact number, address and so forth, but, never made any attempt to contact me and let me know they were about to expire.

However, I can still buy sour cream past the expiration date at Plaza. 😮

The ferry companies don't even give you a yr.
I think the ferry tickets and barge tickets expire after a week and the commuter books at end of month.

Sorry You lost out on your dives.
