      So it's the first day back at work and I'm making the rounds around the building asking how everyone's holiday was.

      I noticed a trend among the interns, they all have something inane to bitch and whine about.

      Considering how fortunate they are, they're incredibly negative.

      I'm half tempted to send them downstairs to sweep the garage.

      I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

        it's the youth & the fact that you were silly enough, to be polite enough, to ask.  with all the non face2face communication they do (text/email/snapchat/pornchat/twitter/ etc.) they actually think when folks ask they really want to know, hahahaha

        get 'em to sweep the garage so they can remember one time in their privileged lives they did some kind of physical labor

        is it obvious I have an issue with the privileged class . . . .

                      Yeah, I get that you're trying to prevent fraud, which is in my interest, but I am sick and fucking tired of having to spend half an hour on the phone every single time I buy beer outside the Houston city limits.  Every goddamn time.

                        They'd probably block my payments if I bought anything BUT beer outside my city limit…

                          The annoying thing is that food is no problem, and on trips, basically all I buy is food and beer.  So four days into a trip and suddenly my card is no good.

                          I know I'm supposed to call and let them know I'm heading out of town, but damn, the whole point of a massive national bank and credit/debit cards is that it's supposed to make things easier.

                          And it was only $120 worth of beer.  That's not much, right?

                              It would be a hassle to switch all the auto pay stuff linked to the accounts, but I've wanted to do it for a while.

                                Most banks will sort out all that for you. Well they do on this side of the pond.

                                  Those fraud alerts are ridiculous. My fiancé and I live about 40 miles outside of NYC. She goes to the city semi-frequently for work functions. Discover blocked her from buying cigarettes at a deli, but later that billing cycle, let someone buy THOUSANDS of dollars of nutritional supplements and protein powder from all over the U.S. with not so much as a courtesy email.

                                  How the f*ck does that make any sense?

                                      @Chris not sure if JPM has this feature but most other national banks have an online function now to list out your travel plans.  Much better than sitting on hold forever just to let them know you are leaving your house and plan on spending money.

                                      This also drives me crazy.  I pay a repeat vendor on Paypal and I get a call but someone gets a hold of my credit card number, makes a fake card, and makes a run on 6 different grocery stores for over $1K in the same day and I have to discover it for myself.

                                        I'd like to know the criteria they use for when they will block a transaction.

                                        It can't be location alone, because they bounced a small transaction (less than $20) a half hour ride from our home and then allowed multiple large transactions across the United States.

                                          I'll do you one better than that.  I had a Hawaiian Airlines Visa through Barclay which had never even been activated.  It never even left the top drawer in my dresser.  Anyway, I get a call late one night about suspicious activity. Someone went on a shopping spree at Payless Shoe store in Tennessee to the tune of $300-$400 with my non-activated, never swiped, unused credit card.  Then, they had the nerve to try to charge me a $100 yearly fee for card services.  I told them to kick rocks.

                                            Haha. Someone really balled out at the Payless. $400 - what is that, like 25 pairs of shoes?

                                            That's especially ridiculous because the breach was so obviously on their end.
