The 8 most enraging things about going to the bank
GOING TO THE BANK for yourself is a sure sign that you are An Adult.
But unfortunately, they don’t make it easy for you. Here are nine of the absolute WORST things about banking.
1. The opening hours

That all-encompassing gloom you feel as you witness somebody leaving while you try to enter, and you have to wait for their door to slowly, sloooowly swing shut before your green light can flash.

Banking addresses can only be changed once a month under the full moon, and only if you give the bank a special security code that will be texted to your aunt.
Them’s the rules.
8. Being asked for your BIC/IBAN
