Banks.
Yesterday I had to transfer quite a large sum of money from my bank which shall remain nameless. (Westpac) It was from a normal account so I wasn't breaking any Term Deposit rules or anything like that. I was informed that I would be charged $30 for the effort of a girl pressing a few keys on her keyboard.
I replied that if she was serious about charging me then she could close the entire account and pay me out the 5 figure sum remaining which she had no problem doing after charging me for a few other account keeping fees.
My beef is not with her. She goes home at the end of the day just like the rest of us and forgets the whole thing.
The Branch Manager that decided to stick his authorisation code in that was required for such sums is who needs his head read.
He tried to justify to me that the bank charging me $30 was worth losing my account and its contents worth a brand new Hilux. I hope his superiors have their fingers on the pulse a little firmer than he did.


Ahhhhhhhh cleansing!!

Ohhh nice rant, i had issues with CBA a few years ago so left them

Personal favourite rant:

[rant]

Ticketek. What is their purpose ? To sell tickets. What cant they do well. Sell tickets.
Everytime they have a major event on their phone lines and website gets swamped and collapses, everytime !! And their little message "due to unexpected demand we are experiencing difficulties" WTF ! You werent expecting people to get online to buy Ashes tickets, or Kylie tickets or any other sort of large event tickets on the day they go one sale ?? Idiots.

Where does it get worse ? Well when you want to get tickets to an event that isnt the major one released on that day you still cant access the website or the phones.

Solution: setup a seperate website that handles major ticket sales, rent some servers for the day and let the bandwidth suck up all those ticket hopefuls so the rest of us who done care about Kylie, Robbie or Cher can get access to what we want !!

1. people who brake, come to a stop and then decide to indicate.
2. people who blow their horn if you stop at a yellow light
3. tailgaters.
4. truck drivers who think they're driving hatchbacks.
