Fuckin hate banks. My debit card gets shredded in an atm because I took too long to grab it when the machine spit it back out (30 seconds) which is apparently a 'security feature' thats fucking retarded. Of course, as the lady assured me, we could retrieve it if it was an ENT card, but since it wasn't it gets shredded, so I should definitely start an account with them.
I call the card company to tell them the card got shredded, which is apparently not english, because I had to select either lost or stolen, which lock my fucking account, which is stupid, because the account is safe and I just need a new card, which is a completely different phonecall for whatever goddamn reason.
I call my bank to make sure my automatic payments are still going to go through with the account being locked, but apparently there are zero automatic payments set up (erased by it being locked?) so I gotta go set those all up again. The lady transfers me to some larger call center which transfers me 10 mins later back to my bank because the call center can't do anything about it. The bank tells me to do it online, so I go online. The website says I have to call my bank to activate it, and I've now been on hold with them for long enough to write all this shit.
Do people really deal with this in every day life or do I just have bad luck? Cuz it's getting ludicrous at this point.
