It's Over, Bank of America. OVER.

I hate you I hate you I HATE YOU. You are DEAD to me.

I have never been shy about my hatred for Bank of America after past wrongs they have committed against me and I already closed both credit cards (a big no no for your credit score) and vowed to close the checking account once I quit my job and wouldn't have to change my paycheck direct deposit SO maybe it's about time I had that last straw.

Anyway, I just had my bank card eaten by an ATM here. I've used this card to withdraw money several times, even from this ATM already. ARG. BoA cannot handle themselves. Whenever I call ahead and TELL them I will be in X country, they inevitably always flag my account as fraudulent. Usually, though, they call and leave messages asking me to call them and verify transactions. UGH. Luckily I also have my HSBC card. Lovely, wonderful, love of my life HSBC that refunds me atm fees when I go to other banks and is amazing in every way as far as I can tell. So I will now proceed to transfer whatever funds were left at BoA back to HSBC and wash my hands of them once and for all when I get back to the states! UGH!!

To be honest, this is probably the worst thing that has happened to me while travelling, and it's not that bad (only because I have a back up bank and bank card though). I've never lost a wallet or passport or had anything stolen (I've had a few transportation issues, but that's a different story haha), so I suppose I will consider this an instance of the universe evening out all my good travel karma with one little blip. Ah well, C'est la Vie!
