I feel like I'm losing faith in people..

I'm losing faith in people...in their morals, their ethics (business and personal), their ability to NOT have an ounce of rationale for the decisions they make. Over the last few weeks, it just feels like NOTHING has gone right...people are 'misinforming' me of crucial details...dragging their feet...not being accountable...the list can go on and on...and on... For instance, the bank that I opened my new account at (which feels that any average joe can manage if they hold their payroll check for up to 11 days...and it not be a problem at all...yes, cause we all have plenty of money hanging around...I don't need my stickin' payroll. geeze..) So, once I get that resolved...I need to transfer the $ to my old account because automatic withdrawls are still set up (since it takes a while to get eveything transferred over)...now on the new banks website they have this cool little next day transfer service...it sucks that i will have to pay extra to transfer it, but will be worth it to not be overdrawn in the other account. So I click the next day button online...nothing happens...huh? what? Let's try again...nope....nothing. Hum.. Let's call support. There must be something wrong. ...what did you say? Oh, the feature is brand new...but doesn't work yet...and will be a while before it does...SO WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE IT AS A CHOICE ON THE MENU??? oh right, because you are stupid. So, I call my old bank...tell them my story...what do I do? I don't live near a branch anymore...I need my payroll deposited so things don't bounce. So she tells me...wire transfer is the way to go..."let me put you through to that department to see how much that will cost"...i get a voice mail...hit 0...take me back to a different teller...that I have to tell the whooooooooooooooooole story to again. ...thankfully because she informs me the shared branch program that credit unions have...so I can just drive down the street to lkjdslkfjsdfj credit union...and they will deposit your money in your credit unions account. Yippee...don't need a new bank account. So, withdrawl full balance...and see ya. Wachovia sucks. Then there are people saying you haven't paid for something (ie...my wedding dress alterations) when 2 other people had confirmed I had PAID IN FULL...but the store goes out of business (after being in biz since the early 80's at least...not just a new shop no one knows diddly about) and apparently they don't have their computer anymore...and since the 'sticky note' they had on my dress is 'gone' they assume I haven't paid....uh...wouldn't you assume the opposite if you lost the paperwork? thank goodness I have the receipt...and it is itemized...so I have PAID IN FULL. Then we have the insurance saga...which started in June of flipping 2006...which has spun in to a series of problems ...for example...payments I sent, not being applied to my account...finding out that although I paid for my COBRA through 2/28/07 that they cancelled it on 1/28/07....hum...good strong ethic there...and surprisingly, they won't return my calls. Then we have the billing company that can't even tell how much I owe, because every time I call...it's a different total...and so I don't trust them...so I ask for an itemized statement, and it takes months...yes months to actually get it (while they continue to charge me rent on the medical equipment in question). So, once I finally get it..I find that i am being charged by 2 separate billing companies, for the exact same thing...so I have to dispute that. Then they ended my benefits early because of the before mentioned COBRA issue...so I have to dispute that. Now since its been month after month of people dragging their feet (while I'm being charge $125 monthly 'rent') so now I have to dispute those charges based on them dragging their feet. God help me. Is anyone honest? Or is just that people are so damn careless that they can't get it right?...or perhaps both stupid liars?!?.. I will win this one...come hell or high water. Then we have the new apartment complex...they feel that because we moved in after the 25th of the month that we should pay our next month's rent early. Now, how does this make sense? I pay them a $60 application fee, $250 deposit, $80 for the 2 days in September that we will be living here...and a $300 pet deposit...but 2 days later, I'm leaving this place and not paying my Oct rent. Geeze...that would be kinda stupid. So...tell me...why on earth would you bother to check my credit etc. and 'let' me sign a lease if you don't think I can pay the first month's rent...BUT if I move in on the 24th as opposed to the 25th...They will TOTALLY trust you will pay it. Does this make a lick of sense? Rent is due on the 1st...not late until the 3rd...should it matter what day the month prior I move in? Hell no. dumbasses. Just so you know...I won that battle. Is it me? Or are they all just screwing all of us...and I happen to be the one that is actually reading the bills etc...to find that we are all being screwed... Wow...I sound bitter...and I am...I'm worn out...I'm tired of arguing. Tired of having to prove myself...although they don't have to prove themselves. I'm tired of waking up a 3am and laying there trying to figure out how I can get all these stupid things resolved WHILE trying to manage a full time job that has a whole set of these type of problems within itself AND finish planning the details to the wedding. I'm tired of falling back asleep just in time for my alarm to go off....I'm tired of having to write down every day, time, phone #, person's name and what was discussed with them just in case I have to argue about it later. I'm just plain ole' tired.
