bradm Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Is it rude to reply "no you're not" when someone says "I can't help you, I'm really sorry?"Yes, it's rude.because that's what I said...and now I feel like an asshole....Then you should go apologize, and offer up whatever caused you to get angry and make that reply as an explanation for your rude behaviour (not an excuse, an explanation, making sure you include that distinction in your apology).Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote']Basically, the bank thinks I was trying to cash a fraudulent check...well, if you truly believe that you are in the right, i think you are justified in a "take no prisoners" attitude. i wouldnt apologize. too many times, banks and other institutions simply do what they want and screw the customer. they count on you backing down. if you are right, dont back down.

phishtaper Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 so, the bank has held funds that you legitimately deposited and now wont release them for you to use this weekend because someone illegally accessed your account in the past?

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 A Scotsman walking through a field, sees a man drinking water from a pool with his hand. The Scotsman man shouts ' Awa ye feel hoor thatâs full Oâ coos Sharn'(Don't drink the water, it's full of cow s ** t.)The man shouts back 'I'm English, speak English, I don't understand you'.The Scotsman man shouts back 'Use both hands, you'll get more in.' --------------------------------------------------Five Englishmen boarded a train just behind five Scots, who, as a group had only purchased one ticket. Just before the conductor came through, all the Scots piled into the toilet stall at the back of the car. As the conductor passed the stall, he knocked and called"Tickets, please!" and one of the Scots slid a ticket under the door. It was punched, pushed back under the door, and when it was safe all the Scots came out and took their seats. The Englishmen were tremendously impressed by the Scots' ingenuity. On the trip back, the five Englishmen decided to try this themselves and purchased only one ticket. They noticed that, oddly, the Scots had not purchased any tickets this time. Anyway, again, just before the conductor came through, the Scots piled into one of the toilet stalls, the Englishmen into the other. Then one of the Scots leaned out of his stall, knocked on the Englishmen's stall and called "Ticket, Please!" When the ticket slid out under the door, he picked it up and quickly closed his door.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------A very popular scotsman dies in Glasgow and his old widow wishes to tell all his friends at once so she goes to the newspaper and says "I'd like tae place an obituary fur ma late husband" The man at the desk says "OK, how much money dae ye have?" The old woman replies "£5" to which the man says "You wont get many words for that but write something and we'll see if it's ok" so the old woman writes something and hands it over the counter and the man reads "Peter Reid, fae Parkheid, deid" He feels guilty at the abruptness of the statement and encourages the old woman to write a few more things. The old woman ponders and then adds a few more words and hand the paper over the counter again. The man then reads "Peter Reid, fae Parkheid deid. Ford Escort for sale" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberdinghy Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 so, the bank has held funds that you legitimately deposited and now wont release them for you to use this weekend because someone illegally accessed your account in the past? Basically...it's a really long story that involved 3 tellers, 1 manager, the bank manager, RBC's fraud dept, RBC's tele-banking, 2 managers from another branch.
