I don’t like any of your choices. I wouldn’t drop it, but it wouldn’t upset me. However, I probably would, the next time I was in the bank, ask to speak to a manager, nicely, and just ask about it. They don’t get all upst just because you want to talk to them, that’s why they’re sitting there - to talk to their account holders. And maybe I am not as important to them as someone who has a million dollars in their bank, but they don’t show that to me.
No kidding. My bank keeps trying to put my husband’s name on my accounts.
Check your credit and any accounts for other changes.
If they’ve really fucked up, it might be easier to close accounts and change banks than to get them to fix anything. (Big grain of salt, I hate my bank and don’t *even *get me started on the people who used to hold my mortgage.)
If you’re with BoA, it’ll be easier to just kill yourself than to try to get them to fix any mistake they’ve made.
Me too. The bank holds most of my money, so it’s pretty much the only institution I care enough about to get this sort of stuff cleared up ASAP.
About a year ago I ran into some issues with my online banking site and I called immediately. Apparently, they’d just changed their policies but hadn’t bothered to update any of the text accompanying the procedures at the same time (which meant I now was cut off from using the site for 6 days without any previous warnings) it’s a long and complicated story. Not really a huge deal, but when out-of-the-ordinary stuff turns up from my bank, I tend to take notice. (Except for the phishing mails - I reported one and never even got an answer, so I don’t bother anymore) - maybe the takeaway from that is to CALL instead of sending email, though.
Suicide jokes? Terribly unfunny.
I’d be concerned, because I want my credit union to have accurate information on me and my accounts. If they think I’ve gotten married recently, then their information on me is wrong. No telling what else they have wrong. I’d definitely call it to their attention.
Overly sensitive overreaction to obvious hyperbole? Also unfunny.
Yeah, just get married - it’s the best way to resolve the inconsistency.
It wasn’t a suicide joke, it was a “Bank of America sucks” joke.
A suicide joke would be something like this:
*rachelellogram hurries into the emergency room late one night with the tip of her index finger shot off.
“How did this happen?” the doctor asked her.
“Well, I was trying to commit suicide,” **rachellelogram **replied.
“What?” sputtered the doctor. “You tried to commit suicide by shooting your finger off?”
“No, silly!” rachelellogram said. “First I put the gun to my chest, and I thought: I just paid $6,000 for these breast implants. I’m not shooting myself in the chest!”
“So then?” asked the doctor.
“Then I put the gun in my mouth, and I thought: I just paid $3000 to get my teeth straightened. I’m not shooting myself in the mouth!”
“So then?”
“Then I put the gun to my ear, and I thought: this is going to make a really loud noise. So I put my finger in my other ear before I pulled the trigger!”*
I think she’s right, though. That joke was lame.
Jokes about the disabled?! Terribly unfunny.
I want you to grow a womb and bear my children.
Agreed. And I’ve never even dealt with BoA - just heard many family and friend utter horror stories.
They’re the best kind.
Back in high school there was this kid who looked sickly. He wasn’t he was just pale and thin. We used to call him aids. He was friends with this guy in a wheel chair. We called him
rolaids
That is not a true story but we thought it would be funny if there actually were two kids like that and that it would be funny to call them that.
That makes it a joke about being shot through the head. Bad timing.
It wasn’t my joke, but I’ve got a few months to kill.
- I wasn’t making a joke. Accusing a non-joke of not being funny is a tautology, and therefore pointless commentary.
- In what microscopic world do you live where people must adhere to your own standards of offense or be accused of overreacting?
I hear people saying things like “If this day gets any worse, I’m going to kill myself!” like it’s a joke. All the fucking time. I can’t think of any dumber way to make a point. Because what if that person were to actually go home and commit suicide? Shit happens.
You don’t get to tell me what is or is not offensive to me. Sod off.
Suicide jokes? Terribly unfunny.
Enjoy,

… this thread went in sort of a … weird direction.
Oh, I’ve got much dumber ways to make a point.
