My Victoria’s Secret Fetish (Well Almost)

I got home last night and as usual started going through the mail, mostly junk mail and bills as usual.  I stopped to eat dinner and as I finished my wife picked up where I left off.  As I lifted my spoon to my mouth I heard a loud shriek come from the kitchen.

“How did we get (a Large sum of money) credit to Victoria’s Secret?” she asked.

“What are you talking about?”, I said.

Then she showed me the statement and I couldn’t believe it.  I could see dollar signs in my wife’s eyes.  She was already calculating how she could spend all that money.  Somebody must have made a mistake in our favor.  I love it when that happens!  It never happens to me.  This was my lucky day.

“let me see that again”, I said.  That dollar amount looked strangely familiar and after I took a second look at it, it dawned on me.

“That’s our house payment!”

Oh no!  Gasp, Gasp….

“What did you do!!!!”

Well I knew right away.  I do all my bills online and so i went to my banks website and sure enough.  Victoria’s Secret is just one line below my mortgage.  So when I paid the bills last month, I mistakingly paid our mortgage to Victoria’s Secret.

My wife called Victoria’s Secret and spoke with an agent…they had a good laugh of course and they’re sending me a check in the mail.   I imagine I was considered one of their best customers though for a least a couple weeks.  Or maybe I was just one of those freaks with some kind of Victoria’s Secret fetish.

    that’s awesome! I just started online bill pay–so thanks for the “don’t-treat-me-like-an-object” lesson.
