Is it me or any customer service /job/ whatever has to do with money here is always meant to screw us up ???

Never happened to me so much in Canada. Here its like they charge you one more month even if you cancelled, they don't give you the rebate they said they would when buying something, they FORGET to give you money, they give it in wrong account, etc

It never happened to me so much since I moved here. And it happened like 6-7 times in 9 months!!!! It's driving me nuts.

I hear you. I used to complain about our Credit Union in Edmonton. No more.... banking around here s-u-c-k-s. :angry:

It's you. I know the feeling, I'm on the phone with an institution of finance and I just got off the phone with the AZDMV. It's even more glamourous than it sounds.

Speaking of customer service, I meant to ask you guys - or those of you that have withdrawn money from an RRSP lately.

It was free to withdraw RRSP funds from TD. Then they decided to charge $25, now it is $50. Does your bank charge you to withdraw funds from your RRSP?

I'm talking your regular RRSP's here, not the ones locked in for a period of time or anything.

Don't even get me STARTED about the banking, Floridian "customer service", legal rip-offs, and con artists disguised as service providers here in the US. I lost my MIND this weekend over yet ANOTHER incident like that. Un. Be. Lievable. I was ready to pack my bags and go home, I tell ya.

I cashed out my RRSP's held by TD all in 1 shot last yr and yes there was a "fee" to do so,plus they took off 25% (think it was 25%)for taxes

YUP!!!! We just switched banks here. Regions/AmSouth sucks major! Gawd, I got so freaking tired of giving them my marriage cert, and SSN with NEW MARRIED NAME and my license with my NEW MARRIED NAME so I could get a new debit card. FOUR TIMES! Neither time did I get a new debit card. Then they kept fouling up our account...charges would appear as pending then the next day just disappear! AUGH!!!!!!! Computer systems a bit off they'd say...like we need THAT to happen with OUR money. Uh huh yeah. IMHO Regions/AmSouth had gotten so big (they recently bought out AmSouth) that customer service was obsolete. OH and the drive thrus....OMG....no window, no real live person. Just a small SMALL monitor (maybe 4X4) to "see" the teller. Oy Vey...they got on my last nerve that's for sure.

Our new bank is lovely. It's a small bank, not too many branches, and they actually smile at you when you go inside! I believe I was shocked into silence when the lady behind the teller booth actualluy asked me how I was doing...with a smile too!

Grabbing the ladies? Moi? I lack the opposable digits to grab much of anything. I have enough problems with trying to grab the remote for the tv. Inappropriate touching? I don't even touch myself.

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo telling mom about this. You're luck is up brother. You are grounded, big trouble, big time. :crying: :crying:

You know, it's rather annoying that allllll through the winter, when I turn on a hot water tap I have to wait 3 hours for hot water (slight dramatization).

I'm tired of freezing my hands off washing them. I mean i can wait for the hot water but I am very very busy!

Oh and, in this house, the hot and cold pipes for the kitchen run through the (unheated) garage (don't ask). Last week the cold water pipe froze, luckily I was on top of it!

[Krikit 1,163]

Funny. I very rarely run the hot water here because it always comes out warm. (In comparison to Canada.) When we were in Canada for Christmas, I was in the ladies' room at a restaurant, turned on the cold water tap and yelled "Whoo! That's cold!" The lady next to me looked at me like I had just declared that I was an alien. Which, of course, I am.

I knew it!!

Just throwing this in here because I like it
