  • If the tipping point for your kids being unable to function in society is ‘I didn’t open them a checking account’, you have much bigger problems than what is on the surface…

    In addition, selecting a financial institution is kind of a big choice, customers are usually very ‘sticky’ and never migrate once they have one selected, and I feel it should absolutely not be made by the parent. While the parent might still value checks, be okay with paying monthly fees, and is blissfully unaware that their bank too is selling their personal information, their child may want to go with a credit union or even something like a brokerage for the no-fee commitment, the atm-refund policy, no commission on trades, or the local 24/7 customer service; the kind that banks require you to have a quarter mil before they will answer the phone beyond 5pm EST. Not that I am speaking from experience or anything, noo, that is silly, silly-willy. (fuck you, BofA and Chase)

    Also, you usually can’t get an account at all until you are 16+. They’ll laugh you out of the building.

    Just things to consider.

    What is that saying, ‘lack of planning on your part doesn’t constitute an emergency on my part’ or something.

    My friends know that they only call me if their house is actively on fire, they are being robbed at gunpoint, or they just won the lottery and want to split the winnings. Family also includes lunch/dinner plans. Only exception is when we have planned a call for a date and time, otherwise you’re greeting my voicemail. Landlines is the exact same situation. I might be taking a shower, asleep, taking a dump, getting freaky with a friend; it doesn’t matter. Leave a text message and I’ll get back as soon as I’m done crying from taco tuesday, or finishing waking up the neighbors with moans and screams, or whatever else.

    Email is ‘sometime today’ communication, and gets handled at the beginning or end of the day, or whenever I’m on the can. Anyone expecting a rapid response via email is a proper dunce.




  • I’m about to blow your mind: the IT Crowd has a live studio audience. One of the specials goes over each cast member and shows bloopers and such, and you can see them in several shots. I believe they also talk briefly about the audience, though it’s been a while. If I remember right, they would take the audience reactions of two takes and sort of merge them together.
