It's little things about the world that piss me off. Like having to go grocery shopping today, forgetting it's Friday, and all the obnoxious crowds are there, and people are shoving their carts into you so they can get ahead of you in line. Stuff like that.
However, what pissed me off the MOST was attempting to do what I've been procrastinating on doing for a very long time because I hate the ordeal so much.
And that is: cashing in my emergency change fund.
WHY IS THIS SO FUCKING DIFFICULT.
So, my awesome bank has one terrible downside to it, and that's that they don't have a change counter. So, they can only take bills. What the hell. What kind of bank is that. But they are superior in every other way, so I forgive them.
Who I don't forgive is my old fucking bank that I hated/hate/will-continue-to-hate with a passion, LaSalle. For the first time ever, they actually denied cashing my change for me because I don't bank there anymore.
Now, if this were like, you know, some sort of company or franchise or something like that-- okay, sure. Fine. I understand. That makes sense.
BUT THIS IS A FUCKING BANK. PEOPLE EXCHANGE MONEY THERE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT FUCKING BANKS DO.
The lady told me to go to Jewel and use the fucking coin star (which, by the way, I ended up having to), but WHY THE HELL SHOULD I? WHY should I have to fucking pay for a service that their machine does exactly the same way? AND? It's REALLY FUCKING EASY. It's not like she has to handcount this shit.
It's not any different than taking a 100 dollar bill and asking for 20s, because you know, STORES DON'T ALWAYS CARRY THAT MUCH CHANGE ON THEM. But you know what? I've had a bank deny me that, too, because I didn't have an account there.
That's still ridiculous, BUT-- it has a bit more validity to it, in case of counterfeit bills. However,
I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF COUNTERFEIT CHANGE.
I think the thing that upsets me most about this is not that I had to spend $6 to get my $50, but that I'll have to keep doing this every time I want to cash my change, and I have infinitely better things I can spend that accumulated money on.
Ugh, as you can see, I can ramble about this forever, but I guess that's enough out of my system for now. Still pissed off, though. >:[
Although it doesn't help that I'm extremely exhausted, and I want to crash, but goddamnit... If I can just hold out like......... oh God, that's a long time... 10 hours? e____e
How the hell did my sleep schedule get ruined again anyway?........
Oh yeah. That day that mom stayed home. Damnit.
Maybe life will stop sucking so much if I can get my sleep schedule back again. 8(
