Declineeeedeeeeee

Now I know how Selives must feel. When I went to purchase my lunch, the little lesbian at the counter quietly said to me, "I'm sorry, we need another card," and showed me the printout that said "DECLINED."

Minorly embarrassed, I gave her another card which went through easily, then I returned to my desk to call the credit card company.

It turns out South African Airways tried four times to run my card when it was charging some flights I booked yesterday, ringing up an obscene total, then voiding their transactions. Fortunately, they charged the correct amount, but it sent a red flag at the credit card company.
