I don’t understand the practices of our esteemed bridge people to have their pass system in place. I checked my bank account online one day and was taken aback to find that they tried a debit withdrawal from my account to top up my account. My threshold is $17 and my account balance was over $50 at the time. WTF?. The shocker came when my bank charged me $45 for NSF fees. Double WTF? To add even more insult to injury, the bridge people thought of giving me a little slap in the face for that. They sent me an e-mail to tell me that as seeing that the debit didn’t go through, (their inconvenience no less), they were levying a $10 charge on my account, new balance now under the $50 that I did have. Who the hell is really inconvenienced here?
Somebody in upper management there must know that they need to boost more revenue from hapless Haligonians to cover costs associated with deck replacement slated for next year and periodical maintenance but to get that extra money this way. Are you F&#K*^G SERIOUS!!!!
I’ll learn to swim the harbour doing the Australian crawl before I needlessly have to cross those debt bridges again. -Knot loving your deceptive enterprise

Here’s a thought, make a budget and stick to it. Stop spending all your money on hookers and blow.
if they had tried to pull , oh say $2500 from your account, or even $700 or heck, 225 and it blew your overdraft that would be something to complain about. but your account is so tight $17 does it?
dangerous living bub. it’s not that you are dead broke – you’re managing to gas a car and pay insurance. so you’re just spending all of it. crazy. you don’t get a prize for spending every penny every week. surely you can manage to leave $100 in your account as a cushion. just pretend it’s not there. and I bet you’ve spent more than that on od fees over the years.
I pay nothing to cross the bridge. And I have a great ass as a result!
They probably put $50 or something when it dips BELOW $17. I’m with the OB on this. The bridge ppl fucked up and now OB’s on the hook for $55 that they are at no fault for.
And some people can’t afford that type of expense. Who amongst us hasn’t been tight for cash around pay day?
OB’s got every right to bitch about this.
Stop being jerks, guys!
GDM, you hope they are making their insurance payments.
Fess up, you’re the one who posted Awsomeness aren’t you?
Is it possible to get a side order of kangeroo jerky and a few dozen shrimps on the Barbie to go with that australian scrawl?
Don’t forget the Fosters. >: )
