Requesting Advice

Oct 28, 2004 23:33

I'm hoping that my friends list can help me, for I desperately need help.

I need to go to the bank and make some deposits so that I can have enough money to pay bills. This would seem like a very everyday proposition. It's not. I cannot tell you how frequently I have tried this in the past few weeks and had to deal with any, some or all of the following:

1. Full parking lots.

2. Roadwork blocking entrances to parking lots.

3. Police tape blocking off parking spaces and/or the banks themselves.

4. Unexpected early closings.

5. Some IDIOT behind me who, despite my signaling that I need to turn off at a certain driveway, persists in honking, screaming, and driving so closely that the first thing I see is his windshield and NOT the front of his car, and who makes it very clear that if I do not move, he is going to hit me to teach me a lesson. (Regrettably, I've had two drivers hit me in intimidation attempts, so I know that this is a possibility.)

6. Pedestrians, especially mothers with babies in strollers, who are apparently playing some live-action roleplay of Carmageddon, as they seem to think that stepping out in front of me just when I am about to turn or move forward is a very sane and safe thing to do.

7. People driving out of side streets or store driveways without signaling, thus nearly precipitating an accident.

8. Trucks in back of me.

9. Heavy traffic flow.

It's not that I'm not trying, but I can't get around the other drivers, the times and the parking issue. So--stupid question--is there ANY way to make a deposit online? I'm getting ulcers from the stress, I swear.

rants, car troubles
