The travel industry is EVIL.
I called Greyhound to ask why I had to pay a $15 "gift fee" to purchase a ticket for someone else.. the 'customer service' representative told me it's because they have to transfer the ticket interstate or some bullshit.. I called her on it, because it's an E-TICKET involving no mailing - so she just backtracked and called it a 'convenience fee.'
Actually, it made me feel pretty damn inconvenienced, so I didn't buy a ticket.
This is after my talk with my bank this morning. I had $300 in checking.. next time I checked my balance, Navy Federal claimed that I suddenly had $570 without any new deposits being made.
I called, and the woman I spoke to said "Let me explain how your debit card works.." She kept interrupting me, until finally I said VERY loudly, "STOP. Let ME explain how it's supposed to work. It is not supposed to add money to my account when, in fact, I am spending money. It should be subtracting. Where did this money come from?"
Her answer: "All I can tell you is that you should balance your checkbook regularly to keep an accurate record of your funds." No shit, moron. All I can tell you is that I'm about to switch banks..
I told her that I do balance my checkbook, which is why I knew how much money I am *supposed* to have.. she didn't have anything to say to me after that.
I'm sick of shitty "customer service."
I think I'll go live in a box and eschew consumerism for a few months.
Anyway.. I might have a roommate soon. Michael, a friend from my hometown, might be moving to Maryland to live with me for a while. He's tired of San Angelo and wants to get out of town, so he's thinking about coming up here.
