!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just spent 20 mins on the phone with an "english speaking" citibank (or more appropriately titled in japanese: SHITTYBANK) representative, running around in circles, having the same conversation over and over. Something like this:

Me: So the balance was A yen last month, and next month it will be B right?
Her: (Long silence......) Yes, so last month was A, and then october it will be B.
Me: So what will it be next month?
Her: So last month was A, and then in October it becomes B.
Me: I understand that, so what will it be in September?
Her: The charge for last month was A, and then in september it becomes B, then in october it's C.
Me: Wait, but you just told me It would be B in october....
Her: (Long silence....)

*repeat 10 times, and add in a few more long pauses when I made the mistake of using a rhetorical question*


Sorry.... I just needed someplace to vent and this forum just happened to be open on my browser when I got off the phone....

Ha! I have been saved this rigmarole. I've been trying to get a credit card for my 'pocket money' account so that I can buy books online and signup for dodgy internet stuff by the month. No bank in Japan seems to understand that I don't want credit, just a means of online payment.

Now Shittybank is the last in the line of idiot bwankers to fail to understand this, and to deny me a card.

This country is very primitive sometimes...

Damn! I thought this was gonna be a discussion about Truck Dismount...

G: to avoid any disappointment, I felt like the truck dismount guy with a 200k score after that phone conversation.

Ocean - the dodgy material is book research right?
