Ever get the feeling everyone's out to fuck you?

Well, I've got that feeling today, and not in a good way. Personal problems aside, I'm in the process of trying to purchase a new car since my Agnes, now 28 years old and running more on prayers than a reliable engine, is nearing the end of her life. All of a sudden, my life has been taken over by stupid banks and sheister car salesmen.


First off, the bank people: I was sick and tired of my account at the Bank of Jordan. They're just useless. The account has no privileges as far as I can tell, and I'm being charged 25 piasters a month for a debit card I don't want. Oh, and their ATMs charge for giving you a printed mini-statement. Naturally, I went to the bank to withdraw all my money and close the account, but the stupid bitch I spoke to told me that it would be ok to just withdraw all my money and keep the account open, as it will be shut automatically in six months if it has no funds. So, I asked her not once, but TWICE if I'd be charged any money for not having any funds in the account, and both times she said "No. What's left in the account for them to deduct?"

This morning, I get a text from the bank saying that my available balance is -0.92. Negative balance. We're entering the realm of theoretical mathematics here...I actually owe them money now, after being assured twice that I wouldn't be charged. Isn't that nice? Suffice to say, I want that btich's head on a spike on my garden gate. It'll look good next to the geraniums.

At another bank, I get a woman from customer services who has no skill as a salesperson what soever. She basically tells me that I'm an idiot for asking about loans, and completely contradicts what her colleague told me two weeks ago. Insane cow. I swear she was trying to get me to close down my account or something. When I told her I'd been at my current job three months, she gave me a You must be joking look. What? Just because I'm a new recruit, I can't be trusted to pay off a loan?


Next up: Car dealers.

I love/hate the way they pretend to be helping you while they want to fuck you (in a financial sense, of course). I was offered a 250JD discount if I pay them 17,500 JD in cash for a car. That's nice. So if I pay them around 17,000 JD all at once in cash, I get a 250 JD discount. Wow...bargain! I don't even have that sort of money, which means I'll have to get a bank loan and pay that off for the next four or five years. Life's good, isn't it? I'm in my early twenties, and I'll be in debt till my late twenties. When I finally get out of debt, I can contemplate getting a home of my own, and get into debt all over again. What kind of a fucking existance is this? And I make a decent amount of money, as well. That's the shocker!

Man, but this is a depressing way to start my morning. I'm angry as hell, I want to murder someone, and I've no idea what I'm even supposed to be working on today.

SMASH PUNY HUMANS!!!
