These past few weeks have been a stark reminder of why I abhor banks and only try to do the bare minimum with them. I've been trying to send money to someone, but every step along the way, my bank has been a thorn in my ass throughout this entire business transaction.
From declining my card payment through Stripe, then subsequently locking me from my account with their systems thinking it was a fraudulent transaction. Or the fact that I've already had to visit the local branch 4 separate times just to send a wire to the same person.
I've wasted almost 12 hours of my life between waiting at the bank and on the phone just trying to send fiat internationally. And the money STILL has not yet arrived to its destination despite the fact I've seen it credited from my account 6 business days ago.
Now I have to go back to the bank a 5th time to find out WTF is the problem. This is so comically absurd at this point that I just can't help but laugh at this whole thing. But because of this, I've been trying to make up for the time I've lost. So pardon me as I'll likely be AFK (or AFN) on and off for a bit.
