    The next time I ship an extra large package, I'll remember to use UPS hehe. ;) But thanks I didn't know that.

    My friend, who used to work at Circuit City, learned that instead of just writing your sig on the back of a card like most ppl you should put "SEE ID PLEASE" instead. Most merchants never compare the sig on your card to the one on your receipt which is why I put see id on my cards now, just in case some thief wanted to screw me over. You should still be vigilant as to where your plastic is located, this can be a false sense of security. It won't help if you lose your card and the thief just goes to buy gas at the pump or purchases items online.

    When it comes to brick and mortar shops though, I think someone should teach the merchants to actually look at the back of the card because so many of them are too lazy to even bother taking a glance.

    Sorry if it isn't about gift cards, I thought this was a useful tip. My suggestion for gift cards though - give cold cash instead if you trust the recipient not to buy weed, unless your intent is otherwise. ;)

    The common kid never has changed the world? Correct me if I'm wrong but the last time I read a newspaper that had an article about Columbine, the kids involved are no different than those in any other suburban high school. They may not have caused havoc on a global scale now but they definitely affected the American culture and attitude towards the youth of the current generation (There were more cops on my high school campus this past year than any previous years). But given time teenagers definitely carry the propensity to change the rest of the world.
