People are the reason that everything in life, simple or otherwise, is so fucking complicated. People go around killing each other, raping each other, stealing posessions and generally being intrusive, annoying, offensive, stupid, careless, violent cunts. If you think about the amount of people there are in the world, and how easy it is to do a simple task, like not steal someone’s car, it makes you realise that the world is populated by a huge number of defective tosspots who should be exported to a place where we can hammer some common decency into them. Oh, if only I had the power.
Because of said people I am currently rather annoyed. I am annoyed because my plans for the weekend were completely ruined, a) because of common human error, and b) because of banks, banking, bankers and general bank tomfoolery. All of the security measures that plague us spending the money that is ours simply because of said people; the human-based parasites infecting our world mean that such stupid things have to be done to be able to get money from point A to point B. In fact, when it comes to spending money, there it’s more an a to z thing.
My Mum recieved a cheque recently which was from a company she saved some money with when I was younger. The money was to go to my account, but the cheque was in her name, so it had to be deposited in her bank account first. The cheque took a while to clear because cheques only clear on working days, and there was a bank holiday in the way. My Mum doesn’t use online banking with that account, and couldn’t transfer the money over the phone, so she had to take the money out of her bank and I would have to deposit it into mine. However, she is working out of town this week, and we have some builders in our house this week as well, who I wouldn’t trust with a teaspoon in the shed, let alone £1000 in the house. So, we suggested her taking it out of her account and putting it in mine. Yes, that would work, if my bank happened to have a branch in either of the two cities she travelled through in her out-of-town work. Not only that, but you are only allowed to withdraw £250 from a cashpoint in a day. For a larger amount of money (oo get you with the cash) you have to take it out of the bank, which has a rather inconvinient closing time. As of such, the money can’t be transfered to my account by any means until Saturday, by which point it will be too late for me to order the things that I want to order for the weekend, which completely ruins my plans. All of this is because of the stupid security measures and generally how annoying the society we live in is.
Things like transfering money from one bank account to another should be so fucking simple, but they’re not, and in situations like this when I have been affected by it, it really, really gets to me.
