Heres the story:

My WoW subscription ended on November 29th, and pissed me off since I don't have the money to even buy a game card because of a dumbass situation I put myself in. Anyways, I ask my loving mother if I could use her credit card to purchase a 1 month subscription as a small early birthday gift. She agrees and I'm off to download the lastest patch and update my account.

10 mins later, my mom comes to me and says that my dad wants me to cancel the subscription... I reluctantly agree and phone Blizzard to cancel. I ask why he wanted me to cancel and she said it was because he didn't want her card # stolen. I couldn't believe it! Both my parents have purchased many things online and even use online banking. I told my mom that this isn't just some random website that isn't secure, and that game is played by millions of people. She understands, but she said even if I showed my dad that is it a 100% secure site, he'd still say, "I don't care, cancel it." Now they will be billed 14 dollars for nothing. Great thinking dad, logic rules. :rolleyes:

Post times where your parents, or parent threw logic out the door and welcomed idiocy.

Secure or not, Blizzard already has it. :rolleyes: People act stupidly about things they fear and don't understand.

Your dad probably got irritated that you showed him that he was wrong. My dad's like that.
Pissed Off?

Um... if the money went through, you get a month. Unless of course you cancelled your account entirely, which would be a very foolish thing to do. You should have just removed the card from the account.

I thought so too Vincent, but apparently you can cancel it so that you 'used up' all your minutes so you can't play. This is what the buddy on the phone did. I was hoping since the bank already processed it that I could still play even though he cancelled the subscription.

I would never cancel my account! I have a 31 Tauren Hunter that I love ever so dearly!

No, I didn't bother. My mom knows my dad all to well so I didn't even bother showing him, since I too know what he gets like.

That's retarded - they still will have had access to the number and it could still be somewhere in their records.

Sounds to me like you're extending the blame to your parents.

It's not their fault you suck.

It is however your father's fault for being pig headed.

Perhaps it wasn't an issue of money and more an issue of trying to get you to stop playing WoW and force you to get out of the "dumbass situation" you put yourself in.

Because I said so.
EDIT: Who is Stan and how did he inspire WoW?

If WoW is the devil, then I will gladly stand by his side. :D

Most likely, yes. And you'll thank them when you're older. Yeah, yeah, YOU'RE different, you're not stupid like those other kids. YOU actually know how the world works. You won't be saying that in a few years, garunteed.

I know what I'm talking about... They don't know about it, so its not the reason. This dumbass situation is just me paying back friends money.

Sounds exactly like what my dad would do.

When I got my credit card I got a whole long speech from my dad about the internet. While of course, he buys countless of stuff on the internet with his. :P
