Bank Facepalms

by vipergtsrz at 02:56 PM Share your /facepalm story

With all of the banks in America doing so badly in this recession, you'd think they would try to limit the amount of mistakes they make as to not draw unwanted attention to themselves. Oddly enough, I've come across many stories around the web about banks doing really dumb things.

Just this past Janurary, Citibank sent out around 600,000 envelopes to customers that had their Social Security Numbers printed on the outside of them. They said they were sorry, but tried to make it sound like it wasn't that big of a deal by claiming the SSN wasn't easy to spot because it was part of a larger string of digits.

Bank of America has been trying to one up Citibank by possessing homes that aren't even theirs to begin with. Sure, any company can make an honest mistake, but what should be done when it keeps happening over and over? It seems like BofA has a tendancy to just foreclose random houses. The worst part of this whole thing is that BofA keeps on claiming it isn't their fault when it happens.

I wouldn't doubt it if BofA had their hand in demolishing the wrong house.

Police Complaint Facepalm

by vipergtsrz at 07:01 AM Share your /facepalm story

A man called the police because he didn't get what he paid for when he tried to hire a prostitute. He says that he paid two people to have sex with him, but they did not "deliver as advertised".

Maybe it isn't clear enough to some people that prostitution is illegal. Maybe he should have called the Better Business Bureau instead.

AT&T being dumb again

by vipergtsrz at 07:43 AM Share your /facepalm story

For some reason, I've never liked AT&T. Maybe it's because they have horrible customer service or because they don't deliver what they promise. Who knows?

Because of my distain for AT&T, I laughed when I read this article about how AT&T is talking about trying to find ways to offer customers incentives to limit data usage on cell phones.

Considering that AT&T has arguably the best smart phone, don't you think they would understand that they would need to have a network that could handle the load? I don't understand why a company like AT&T would even talk about trying to give incentives to users to not use as much data. Here's an idea, how about you put money into your network to beef it up and make it more reliable?

AT&T tried to sue Verizon for their "There's a map for that" commercials and then they made their own commercials to fight against Verizon. How much money did they spend on the lawsuit and the commercials when they could have just expanded their 3G coverage and made their network more reliable?

I can't wait to see what other /facepalms AT&T will make
