Thread for Things That Made You Frown Today

UPS has taken my permanent crown on a tour of the US through Kansas, Iowa and California. I gather that UPS confessed to sorting it incorrectly. It's somewhere in Texas now but they won't tell us where it is. Not even if someone volunteered to go pick it up. At least I got my chip fixed but still. Damn. ANOTHER DENTIST APPOINTMENT NEEDED. My dentist is popular so they had no more appointments available until the 15th. Hopefully the crown will be there before then. Fuck you, UPS!

I made the online payment two weeks ago. I get paid this Friday. I have other automatic payments that happen at the first of the month. But nope its all my own fucking fault for trying to keep everything above board so fuck me both ways to next Sunday.

I still think I'm missing something. If you had the money in your account 2 weeks ago, all you'd have to do is not spend it until they withdrew it for your mortgage, no? So it's really just a matter of keeping track of what's in your bank account and being cognizant of how much you're spending, right?

billing when new people are entering time. takes FOREVER to correct all their mistakes and go over them slip by slip

He just wants to rant and say fuck the banks. It doesn't need to make sense.

You didn't think you would have enough money yet you had the money to make two payments? I'm with diethx, what's going on here?

That's one way to claim you are a world traveler without leaving home.

Its my fault for not calling my mortgage company instead of making the payment early on line. Now they are refunding a payment but it is going to take two business days and since its a holiday tomorrow that means more like next week. I'll most likely incur fees both from my mortgage company and my bank. All because I was trying to be good and stay current on my mortgage payment.

FUCK THE BANKS

Unless you are always flush, never do automatic bank payments. Unless you like to pay punishment fees that is.

Thank you. I'm mad at myself for stupidly thinking that an automated payment system would understand that I made the payment early and would not automatically take it out for the month that I paid it for.

WE CANT LET THE MACHINES WIN! THE BANKS CONTROL THE MACHINES! ANARCHY IN THE UK MOTHERFUCKER!

I'm starting to feel better. Well, the sting of my mistake is wearing off.

Yeah any manual payments are seen as additional payments and don't replace or negate an automatic payment schedule that's in place. Made that mistake before.
