I am as mad as heck and somebody will darn well pay...

I went to my bank today to put some money in my account. Nothing special. You see I have a subscription to a glossy rather superficial entertainment magazine. Something I read on the bus, that doesn't waste to many brain cells.

Now I checked both at the online customer service page they have on their internet site as well as the little white box in the bottom right corner of the magazine. BOTH say my renewal wasn't until tomorrow, the 30th of January. So I went into the bank today to deposit the money for the renewal only to realise that the withdrew the money YESTERDAY. Bleeping Yesterday!!! Of course this sent my account into the red and I got slugged with an over-draft fine that was more then the magazine freaking subscription!!!

I am so mad, madder then heck.

I have to admit the bank teller was really sympathetic, saying nice stuff like it happens to the best of us, and he even gave me a complementary ice scraper with my bank logo on it. I have to begrudge the fact my bank is pretty much innocent (even though they did slug me with the overdraft fine). The bank teller even helped me fill out a over-draft protection form so I am saved from this in the future.

But still... as a famous Yellow Pages ad goes...

NOT HAPPY JAN!!!

I will be calling up the magazine customer service line tommorrow to express my disgust. I will be planning to scare several innocent Indians who are maning the customer service center in New Delhi. I also plan to use several four-letter words. The bad ones to boot.
