More cellphone gripes.
So you know how their website fails me all the time. Here's another fun one. I'm supposed to have auto-pay on my account. Well, every month they remove auto-pay from my account right before I am asked to pay, which bumps the bill up by an extra five dollars. Well this time I made sure auto-pay was on. It was.
Was at work, bought myself a hotdog because I hadn't really had any food in almost two days. You know, a treat.
Well they still charged me 35 bucks, my account overdrew because of that hot dog (I never get anything nice without paying for it x10 the next day) and now I can't get gas like I had planned, which means I've got to go beg for money if I want to work.
And people wonder why I'm angry all the time, hate most things, and want to see the system crumble and the public served up the steaming pile of **** they deserve. The public puts up with this, they've allowed absolutely unacceptable practices to become normal. This wasn't my fault, I will not be blamed for it. And I ****ing refuse to play by these rules in this system if all it means is that I get taken advantage of and robbed just because I'm standing here waiting patiently like the sign says.
Again I ask, why isn't ISIS splattering bank executives and politicians? Oh right.
OH RIGHT, AND...
My phone also doesn't work because they are claiming they never got the money, despite it being withdrawn. So now I have no money and no phone service to show for it.
Do any of you guys deal with this **** on the regular? Why does this keep happening to me all the time? It's always a matter of five dollars or less that overdraws my accounts. I'm so close and yet not close enough and I keep failing and failing. It's always a matter of dollars and cents. Nothing huge or major. It doesn't matter if I work more this week, it's always dollars and cents. If it isn't a bank surcharge (which always happen at different dates and always just when I've gotten the amount of money they've decided they want), it is some stupid technicality in my phone contract, or a new initiative by the bank, or my insurance rates have gone up by 500 dollars this year despite never being in an accident and being an excellent driver.
This ****. And people wonder why I've given up on any kind of life. The system takes the piss out of me every chance it gets and people wonder why I hate the system. I've been fighting this stupid system since I was 15 and started working. But come on, if I hadn't bought that hot dog I would be fine. But then I'd be on day three of no real food right now. And as far as I'm concerned, I had the money to cover my bill as-stated by the contract. But they changed the terms and conditions just because. I can't even step out of line without thirty people waiting in the wings to come down on me for my sins and tell me how ****ty I am. Every turn though, every single turn there's something waiting to mess things up in an unfair way that I can't fight back against.
First it was a huge ordeal over getting working papers. Nobody can ever tell me I didn't want to work. I was always there and ready and willing and able and excited to work. And for years they just decline and hire ****ty people instead. Years of trying to work at this store, only to see my idiot friends get the jobs easily and I never got a call back. Years of this. And then I finally do get decent work and I immediately, unceremoniously get taken advantage of at every turn because I'm the idiot that does work. Lesser employees get to go home early and good employees like myself get asked to stay for six extra hours so I can burn out and never get enough sleep ever again.
And I can't talk to my parents about it. They don't understand. They still think I just need to buck up and find that 90s economy that is hiding in there somewhere. All you have to do is get back on the original plan and you'll be fine.
I hate this ****. I'm actively hoping for terrible outcomes so the system breaks and has to be re-cast. I hate this. I ****ing hate the kind of person that this world and our systems have made me into. I'm not mad at society, but I have no more hope or love for it. I want society to pay and to suffer. I'm not going to get up off of my ass to make that happen, so you can relax.
But society has lost my help. I'm a powerful brain, they really could use my kind of help. But time and time again they spurn me and tell me that I'm no help. So you won't get my help. I'll sit here and burn to a crisp while I watch the same happen to the rest of society. And they can bang at my doors all night and will not answer. I'm not helping anymore, I'm not trying anymore, and I'm looking out for myself.
You had your chance. I'm breaking up with you.
Enjoy your comeuppance, society. If it hurts you in even a fraction of the way it has hurt me, you are getting off easy and I will personally take time out of my day to push your face deeper into the mud, you ungrateful, inattentive pieces of ****. Die slowly and loudly.
