Oh, Sean, I hate when that happens.
Continued job~ma for Lewis!
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

My dad is sending me some money, but it's already a lot, and now can't cover all the things it was supposed to cover. I desperately need to renew my registration so I stop getting new parking tickets, and now I have no idea how I'm going to do that.

Also, Seanie? Step away from the CRAXY ON THE INTERNET.
That way lies badness.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Sean, I'm sorry. That is the suck.
And those charges sound painfully familiar. Does your bank, by any chance, rhyme with Bells Bargo? Because, if so, I've found that you can usually manage, once a year, to get them to halve these fees or write them off completely. Especially if you can point to ND's reimbursement check and say, "Look, see, money coming in within 24 hours, please help."
I hatehatehate how they're happy to let the charges go through, and then charge you for the overdrafts, and act like it's a big favor that they're saving you the embarrassment of having your card denied at the point of purchase. Because that moment of aggravation at realizing you just almost spent money you didn't actually have is SO MUCH WORSE than looking at your account the next day and seeing a string of $35 charges for stuff you wouldn't have done if they'd told you at the time you were trying to do it.

Sorry Sean, that sucks.
I had that happen once when a deposited check hadn't cleared yet. About $8 of overdraft and $40 of fees.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sorry, Sean! BTDT, indeed.
seeing a string of $35 charges for stuff you wouldn't have done if they'd told you at the time you were trying to do it.
That's exactly why the bastards don't tell you! Banks make a shitload of $$ from overdraft charges. I have OD "protection" wherein they snatch money from a credit card to cover any overdrafts, but the rat bastards charge me OD fees anyway!
Protection, my heiney. "That's a nice credit rating you got there, missy. Shame if anything happened to it..."

Oh, I'm painfully aware of that. It's just the extra-weaselly weaseling with weasel sauce on a bed of lightly braised weasel that gets me: "Oh, we just didn't want you to be embarrassed! It's so awful to have your card rejected, we just wanted to spare you the dreadful psychic pain! Because we care, we really care about your wellbeing!"
No, you don't, and you're not fooling anyone. I'd have more respect for them if they just out and out said, "We are thieving assbastards who will take every possible opportunity to financially cockpunch you, and then snicker about it afterwards. Also, we fart in your general direction." I still wouldn't have a lot of respect for them, but more than I have now.
