What a pain! This Saturday morning I spent about 40 minutes on hold on the phone waiting for a bank operator to answer. After the first attempt, they told me I had chosen the wrong option 😡

Yesterday, I stormed out of a Chinese restaurant when I tried to buy takeout food but the point of sale didn't approve my payment, even though the bank debited my account. It's unbelievable that the restaurant didn't even give me a receipt, even though I asked for one. I'm fed up with all the chaos here. It's exhausting, degrading, and outrageous.

I couldn't verify anything at the time because my cell phone was almost dead. I bought dinner elsewhere and paid in cash. When I got home, I checked my bank statement and saw the restaurant charge. I went back to file a complaint, and the responses I received were outrageous.

I'm not so bothered by the mistakes themselves, but rather by the unwillingness to do anything to correct them. I'm bothered by the apathy, the greed (in this case, on the part of the restaurant), the lack of respect... Well, I could go on and on.

Now I have to try to resolve this issue with the bank. I spent most of the morning downloading forms, filling them out, taking them to be printed, and blah blah blah... The whole process, what a waste... If only people's word were enough to resolve issues, but no, human beings come with manufacturing defects, in general.

Well, for now, there's nothing more I can do. I have to wait for the bank to respond, although if they reverse the transaction, with the same amount of money I won't be able to buy the same thing, because prices here go up every day.It's crazy, but not the good kind of crazy, which of course exists, but the bad kind of crazy.

Whatever happens, I'm still here. I'll spend the rest of the day alone because the person I had plans with has unexpected family matters to attend to. So I'll probably just watch movies or TV series. Of course, that's after listening to some music and freshening up a bit.

Until next time!
