Losing your obligations invariably leads to becoming useless to society — that is, someone, who is unlikely to be missed.
"Hi, it seems you are trying to pay for something on the Internet with your credit card, but got the expiry date wrong. Please input the correct date, which is as follows..." — I really wish this was not an actual SMS from an actual credit company i received.
