mutedtempestOkay. Earlier today I got an email from my bank back home. I had overdrawn the account by a whole dollar, because the hostel that I stayed at ended up charging me on my debit card instead of taking a cash payment like they'd said they would. But meh, I figured it's only a dollar, no biggie.
I emailed my grandpa to see if he would pay the bank enough to get it back in the positive for me for a few days until I can get the money transferred from my Scottish bank account. He refused, saying that "if you didn't have the money in your account, you shouldn't have used it."
Well no shit sherlock, thanks for the advice. In the meantime, Visa charges me $25 EVERY DAY that I'm overdrawn. It'll take a least a couple days before the money is transferred, and guess what? I'll still be overdrawn when it is because my grandpa's being an ass.
Sigh. it's not as if I enjoy being poor. And then when I called him today and told him i dont have a lot of international minutes and needed to keep it short, he kept lecturing me and i wasted 20 or my minutes listening to that bullshit. "you're finding out it's hard to live on your own, aren't you?" and shit like that.
Meh. I wish I could just win the lottery or something dumb like that.
