Credit Card Alarm

I’ve been fortunate not to have left my credit card behind at a restaurant or store. But I’m finding that the more information I put into my head these days, the harder it is to keep things from falling out. The credit card alarm is a nifty way to help people like that remember to take their credit cards with them after making a purchase.

It’s a slim gadget designed to store your credit card. When empty, it beeps at you every 20 seconds. I’d find this particularly useful if I’m paying for a meal at a sit-down restaurant because I hand the card to the waiter who is supposed to return it. But for some reason the waiter forgets to return it or I leave it in that little folder they put the bill in.

I don’t know, maybe it would be more useful if it actually said, “Hey! Put that back. Remember you’re trying to get out of debt, you idiot!”
