Pet Peeves

[astfgyl]

Anyone else listening in 2023 has to be the cheapest way to sniff out the few likes of them all. Still, every now and then someone says something funny

Fucking butterflies invading the house. Had to get 6 out of the sitting room in the last hour, went up to the bedroom a minute ago, 5 of the bastards flapping around. They're grand and all but fuck off outside ye cunts.

Some as yet unidentified cunt in the office who'll periodically let a whistle out of them, for no discernable reason.
Drives me up the fucking wall.

Had to send the phone off for a new battery. Used the old phone in the meantime. The repairy one came back, set it up, all good. Tried to buy an ice-cream earlier. Tap didn't work. Entered PIN. Card declined. paid in cash and left with my ice-cream. Tried to log in on the bank app. Account blocked, call this number. Fook. Called the number. Eventually got talking to a lad, explained the phone situation as rationale for any unusual activity and was answering questions, he'd go off, I'd munch on my ice-cream, then he'd come back and ask more questions, then go off again. Eventually, he came back and said I'd have to go to a branch with photo ID as they didn't have enough information for me to verify myself over the phone. It's getting late on a Friday afternoon. Cunty.

Left work early and made the 30 minute drive to Kilkenny, went to the branch there, explained what was going on. The lad said he could sort it out, asks for the card, I give him the card, he asked some questions, I answered them, produced my driving licence and tappa tappa tappa he goes on the keyboard. Eventually, he asks for the phone, uninstalls and reinstalls the app a few times, lots of tappa tappa tappa and eventually he hands it back, asks me to log in. I log in. All good? All good. Grand, off I go.

I decide to test the card, stroll to a shop to pick up some bits and pieces, head to the till. Tap doesn't work. Ah, probably needs me to enter the pin, first time back and all. Enter the pin. Card delcined. For fuck sake.

I try the app. No joy, gives me the same fucking message as earlier. Call this number.

Call up the fucking bank again, explain the situation, answer more questions, wait some more. Yer one says "You'll need to call to a branch"

"I've just come from a branch!"

"I can't unlock your card, you need to call to a branch"

I look at my watch. 5:05pm. Of course the cunts close at 5:00pm. "I've just come from a branch and it's closed now. I was in the branch 20 minutes ago."

"They didn't add an update, you'll need to call to the branch on Monday. I can't unlock your card."

"I've just called to a branch and what am I supposed to do until Monday? My car needs petrol!"

"I can't unlock your card."

"Can you put me through to somebody who can?"

"You need to talk to the fraud department and go to a branch."

"I've just come from a fucking branch. Can you put me through to the fraud department?"

She puts me through to the fraud department.

Of course, they close at 5pm too, their phone message doesn't tell you that, though, it just tells you to hang on. Cunts.

Ouch!

[Hellyeah]

That's cunty. After reading that I think I'll stuff some cash in the mattress incase the phone goes down.

[Bürggermeister]

I'm quite lucky a lad was very dishonest about the condition of a guitar I went to buy last weekend, I have enough cash in the wallet that I'm not fucked, but lesson learned. astfgyl you wrre right about the fucken banks all along!

What a pain in the balls. While it is a sickener the way customer service has gone that way, it did remind me of the 2nd verse of this

Cash is king lads. I put the card on my phone for the first time for the Swans gig a couple of weeks ago. Credit Union went grand, it won't take my AIB one though. Wouldn't want to be dependant on it.
