It's late, you get in bed w/ your iPad, stroll around the forum and you read about the latest greatest credit card. 

 

You fight the urge to app by checking Facebook. It's eating at you. 

 

You google the card to see what other people say about avg credit limits etc. 

 

Then you decide to app for it - trying to play cool like you couldn't care less about an instant approval. 

 

Form is now complete. You hit submit. The browser wheel has been turning for all of 20 seconds but it feels like an eternity.

 

You notice your heart is pounding, racing actually, and you wonder because you 'don't care' about this card. 

 

Boom.

 

Approved! 

 

Crap! Now how am I supposed to go to sleep now?

 

Awww, what the hell, might as well go for another...
