minor things that make you fume

[WA Toffee]

Leaving a card is the last thing you want to do.

1. Dont get paid.

2. Have to try again the next day.

Really? Thats harsh. I can't remember ever receiving anything that didn't require me to take time off work because I had to go to the post office to collect it. (The post office they choose to leave it at is closed on Saturdays)

Royal bank of Scotland are set to close my local branch, it is exceptionally busy and I have never been in there when there wasn't a queue, they are now expecting everyone including the old and infirm to travel 3 miles to the larger town of Falkirk.I also feel sorry for the staff who themselves were shocked at it's closure.I will be carrying out my own small protest by closing my account with them and moving to the one remaining bank in the area and I'm sure I will not be alone in that. These beaurocrats should really look at the big picture and how it's impact on the local community....rant complete.

I believe there's this new thing called "the internet" that banks use so that their customers don't have to leave the house to do their banking. It might even catch on in Scotland one day

I can see you have plenty of sympathy with the elderly and disabled they might even catch on where you live one day smart arse.

Especially when they're in their final year at University.

Oh dear, did I hit a raw nerve? Surely it would be easier for the elderly and disabled to use internet banking from the comfort of their own homes than to stagger/hobble/crawl/wheel their wheelchairs in the rain to the bank with its restricted hours?

Oh, and notice how I manage to post this without being threatening or abusive?

By the way, banks aren't run by bureaucrats, they're run by banks.

Oh dear you seem to have really missed my point,you are assuming that everyone knows how to use the internet, the area in question is a poor area where there are many who haven't got two ha'pennies to rub together,you are also assuming by your comments that people can only be physically disabled,this area once housed the main hospital for Scotland's mentally ill until the Government saw fit to put these people into 'Care in the community' projects and many of them are re- housed in local multi occupied housing looked after by carers who are not going to have online access to patients bank accounts.
You are sitting pompously from a great position of not only being able to afford the internet but also intellectual enough to operate on it. Please think carefully about the less fortunate before spouting off further.

As for hitting a raw nerve look at the title of the thread, I was already fuming at the topic, don't think for one minute you clever enough make me feel any worse.

As extracted from Merriam and Webster... last time I looked the Royal Bank of Scotland was a big company.

As for you hinting that I was threatening and abusive there is a report function available to you, fill your boots.

The last time I looked RBS was being bailed out with taxpayers money cos they were massively reckless with lending ?
Admittedly this was a few years ago. I'm sure the government sold all the shares for a massive profit since..

Had a housefire today. Was casually working out the front on my old landrover when I smelled burning. Ran in and found the utility room alight. Fortunately the car I was working on had a fire extinguisher (which expired 17 years ago!) which put it out. Now in the hands of the brilliant fire service and insurers. Now I have a big excess to shell out and an infuriated wife to placate.

The cause was a lithium ion jump start battery that I was charging. I'd avoided the cheap ebay ones and bought one through Amazon,assuming it would be of better quality. CE marked and all that. Thanks, Amazon you profit orientated money grabbing at whatever expense dung eaters. .

Thing is I'd emailed the makers only yesterday to complain that it wasn't accepting a charge, and had left it charging overnight (standard advice). Also turns out that our smoke detector had stopped working - which we had tested only last month. There but for the grace of God, me and the missus might not be here this morning.

Folks - check your smoke alarms, and be very, very suspicious of li ion batteries. I plan to build a small shed away from the house to charge anything other than a phone from now on.

Oh hang on... This is the "minor" things that make you fume thread.....

Technically you did make fumes mate.

A bank is not a charity, it's a business that aims to make a profit for its shareholders. It would appear that in this case the branch doesn't have enough customers to make it viable. Why should a private company keep premises open on the off chance that someone might want to come in and use it, all the time losing money? If you don't agree then why not set up your own bank in the area in company with like minded people? See how that works out for you.
On the subject of internet banking, I'm sure most, if not every one, of these "disadvantaged" people own a telephone they can use for telephone banking. You don't have to have great "intellect" to use a telephone!

As for "they might even catch on where you live one day smart arse." what is that supposed to suggest other than "watch your back, we know how to find out where you live". An empty threat I know, but unnecessary.

Completely agree mate. I think the counter argument to this is pretty pathetic in all honesty.

You are really missing the point here, perhaps you are one Sarnia short of a picnic, The bank is probably the busiest provincial bank I personally have seen, it is used by many elderly and handicapped people, remember the ones that you assumed were all physically handicapped and very insultingly said quote:Surely it would be easier for the elderly and disabled to use internet banking from the comfort of their own homes than to stagger/hobble/crawl/wheel their wheelchairs in the rain to the bank with its restricted hours? unquote, When was the last time you saw a handicapped person crawl? Did you ever attend a diversity course? or even have an understanding what it is like to be poor or underprivileged, do you not have any respect for those who do not have access to a phone or do not understand the internet?

in answer to my quote: 'empty threat' which was "they might even catch on where you live one day smart arse." it was a direct answer to your highly racist and offensive quote: 'It might even catch on in Scotland one day ' which even included a nice arrogant bye bye moji to finish, it was not a threat to quote;' watch your back, we know how to find out where you live" unquote.

So there you have it Sarnie it may appear to some that you are arrogant, ignorant, racist,have no respect for the poor or the handicapped and live in a bubble where you believe every person that uses a bank has either a phone or access to the internet, please get off your deluded high horse from which you literally look down on others, I have seen no support from others on here to your argument and as I have said previously please feel free to use the report button if you wish.

Facebook's addition of these floating emojis on live video. Pathetic. You need to be 13 to use Facebook and that's when that should stop being an appealing idea.
