Fuck you, Bank of America. You strand me in Europe without being able to withdraw any cash from my bank account, then you don’t even let me get money out of one of your own goddamn ATMs, and then you don’t even have the decency to pick up the fucking phone. I sat through your stupid menu and pressed ‘9’ to hear more options, and it’s not my fault you didn’t offer “Press 3 if we suddenly and inexplicably decided to prevent you from using any ATMs anywhere in the world” as one of the choices.

Sons of bitches. I suppose I should be grateful I can be angry at something, but I’m not.

The above notwithstanding, I’m in a good mood and things are going well and Tartu was great and I only regret, say, 60% of my spring break. But it pisses me off to have to borrow money from my friends when there’s perfectly good money sitting there in my bank account that I’m being forbidden from accessing.

  Hey, Enn does that all the time. At least you can pay your friends back.

  I once had a Bank of America customer service rep hang up on me! True story. I had expressed surprise that, after the Fleet takeover, they told me it would take at least 9 months to send me a credit card with an updated (i.e. that actually worked) customer service number on the back. Truer story: 2 years later, said updated credit card has not yet arrived! Guess which bank I don’t deal with anymore.
