Deviant posted:banks don't call my canadian banks definitely call me unprompted to ask about stuff. some people consider this "a personal touch" while others consider it "a huge security risk." this year i was looking for a tax form that i never got in the mail. because canada is dumb and backwards about all banking except for interac, there was no way to access this form online. so starting a few weeks ago i tried a couple different ways to get it, including leaving a message with a banker at my branch that i had spoken to before, sending a message in the general online banking support line, and calling various customer support lines. this week, after the tax deadline had passed, i got an email from a guy i have never heard of. posted in its entirety:  fortunately i had already gotten the form through other avenues it was the correct form! but like. come on dude

mystes posted:also incredible that a bank would send a form as an attachment rather than saying an email to log into your account to download it  i don't think there is a way to get it online. this email is from some dude at the local branch and it looks like he found a paper copy of the form and scanned it in and emailed it. the very helpful lady i got it from in time to file was a higher up banker at the corporation, and she had me use a docusign sort of system to access it. she told me what the password for the form would be over the phone. i think the only ID verification i gave her was my name and birthday. i don't think anyone can steal my money with a statement of investment income. but like still. seriously Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Apr 19, 2024 |

full time connections are bad. i think store and forward and periodic-sync stuff was ok. this is why Palm devices whipped and why i loved QWK packets. You'd dial in, post your replies, get the new ones, and hang up. sometimes i'd be really bored and dial in an hour later to see what was poppin and there were like 2 messages and it made me feel like an obsessive loser and i'd walk away from the computer - voluntarily! - and go ride my bike or play with my ham radio or w/e.
