Wamu Chase is the Worst Bank Ever Right Now

I’ve been a Washington Mutual customer for around 4 years and really have had no complaints to speak of.

Enter Chase, exit happy banking.

I can’t deposit money into my account at an ATM and couldn’t even use my card for weeks. This is because I opened my account in California and then moved to Washington state. Come to find out WAMU has different zones and they aren’t hardly linked together so when Chase converted Washington state to it’s new crapfest it effectively has made it so my CA card and account is worthless.

Just last Saturday I was pushed over the edge when I had to go in to the teller to deposit $140 cash because the ATM wouldn’t work. He in turn had to wire the money to a California branch which will hopefully put it in my account sometime today (Monday) although it hasn’t been deposited as of right now (2:30 PM). Are you kidding me? Why don’t you Pony Express that ATM envelope on down yonder to that other country called California.

BEGIN RANT: Are you telling me that in today’s world with all of our wonderful technology there’s not a better way you could be handling this transition Chase? Certainly I am not the only person to move from California to Washington with a WAMU account right? Are you screwing us all over or just me?

Someone will say “why not just change banks” to which I would reply, “I would love to if there was another bank that had brick and mortar branches as close to my house as well as good online banking. I really don’t feel like redoing all of my bill pay addresses either.”

I hate my bank! Aaaaghhh!

END RANT

P.S. In the large scope of things this is not a big deal to me but it’s enough of a continual poke in the eye that I need to vent. Done.

What’s in a name? Cross cultural mistaken identity.

So tonight I am going to play volleyball and decide to track down a bhutaneese refugee guy I met at church who said he liked to play. I didn’t have his number or address, only his first name, which I thought was khata.

I called one of the leaders in our church outreach to the bhutaneese and after explaining who I was looking for he said he was at the guy’s house and would ask if he wanted to play - he did.

I go to pick him up and it is the wrong guy! I had mispronounced his name by just a letter or two and ended up taking a total stranger to volleyball and icecream. How fun is that?

Luckily he was a decent player and we may even get more of his friends to play in a local tournament.

“Christ died to make us holy, not happy.”

Disc golf putt -

My friend on the 18th putting for birdie and a new course record (for us) five under. He missed but it was a crazy miss to be sure.
