Fool Me Once ……

A couple of days ago, I forwarded a story from MSN Money about how Capital One is trying to collect more fees by giving people low-limit credit cards so that they can easily overspent with cards. While Capital One's practice of helping people accumulating more debts should be condemned, the center figures in the story, the Kehns, actually bear the same share of responsibility of getting themselves into that situation. As Golbguru commented

I am not surprised Cap One tried to push more cards to the guys. What is dissappointing is to see these people take the bait.

Not just that they took the bait, but repeatedly. Come on, nobody forced you to take their card, Kehn. You volunteered yourself. Yet at the end, things went so bad for you and you had to get help from credit counseling agency (and you believe that?), but you did forget to complain

I owe these people that much damn money and they are willing to give me another credit card? This is nuts.

Yeah, they are nuts, so are you Kehn, if not even worse. This reminds me what people are saying: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”

Wait, there is a better person to tell you that.
