Hate Banks

I activated my bank card today. I had to listen to some incredibly long message trying to get me to buy a copy of my credit report so that "everything I had worked so hard for would not be stolen". There was no way to skip it. After that was done I started to listen to some message about "Buyer's protection plan". I hung up the phone in fury.

Also, I forgot my bank card password. I think it had a 4 in it or maybe a 5.

I just had to activate mine too. Luckily, they have changed the "you must call this 800# to activate" feature and all I had to do was use the new card at the ATM using my existing PIN. Much easier.

I hate this stuff too. I have one bank card floating around the house (make that two) and have no idea if I've activated them, or what the PIN number would be.

I drove by *name of your bank* in QC last week and lovingly thought of you.

You need to bookmark that website that lists what you have to do to talk to a live human being. I keep meaning to do that but everytime I see a reference to the site I forget.

I do have that site bookmarked (http://gethuman.com/us/). I think it's a brilliant idea.

It woldn't have worked in this case because I didn't need to talk to a human. (I did consider calling back using the sneaky method, and telling them they were evil)
