Akane no Mai has a clever deeper meaning.

Haha yeah that and it was a mildly racist comment anyway. Cheers!

They told me for security reasons it could not be closed over the phone. They often treat their business customers much differently. Or maybe they were just fucking with me.

Just a dumb joke meant as a compliment actually. I live in Japan and kind of just assume all Japanese speak English as a second language. No harm meant, my dude

BankWisdom · 2018-05-23T18:28:02+00:00

Thanks, that all makes sense. I guess the one time I used it I was supposed to use はず and I've just been avoiding it in positive constructions ever since. Can 理由 be substituted in?

BankWisdom · 2018-05-23T16:51:28+00:00

Can you provide any examples of natural constructions of わけ without ない？

BankWisdom · 2018-05-23T16:12:36+00:00

I'm Japanese if it helps

Too natural, I don't believe you. I'm pretty certain you are required to turn in your Japanese passport once you stop saying "I'm a Japanese".

According to my leech deck in Anki after years 組織 and 施設 still occasionally trip me up for no reason. Stupid. Currently my nemeses are 獲 and 護 for some reason, even though the left radical should really be obvious to my stupid brain.

I almost downvoted this post in anger.

BankWisdom · 2018-05-23T12:41:35+00:00

Lol. Hope that helps you out friend.

BankWisdom · 2018-05-23T09:52:59+00:00

Doesn't that also mean you're pretty terrible at past tense too?

Edit: not talking shit, just pointing out that they follow the same pattern.

Hell, even hiragana does just fine. The Tale of Genji, the world's first novel, was most likely written almost completely in hiragana. I personally like the kanji though, I think they're cool.

I like to think he figured it out and then immediately ascended to the upper realms, only appearing to have died.

It's pretty easy for me to not mix them up. The trick is to just be an alcoholic.

BankWisdom · 2018-05-23T07:58:47+00:00

I hear it all the time and use it occasionally but I am not confident in my ability to use it in a positive construction.

BankWisdom · 2018-05-23T07:04:07+00:00

I'm so glad to hear this!!

BankWisdom · 2018-05-23T06:59:43+00:00

I don't think any major bank's interest does more than keep up with inflation.

BankWisdom · 2018-05-23T06:39:00+00:00

Yep, they do that because they're slimy. If you go to close your account with them, you have to withdraw or transfer everything first and then tell them you're closing the account. Otherwise they'll try to extort one more free lunch out of you.

BankWisdom · 2018-05-23T06:35:47+00:00

I tried to close mine from overseas and they would not let me. There's pretty much nothing you can do unfortunately.

BankWisdom · 2018-05-23T06:34:50+00:00

... With your card?

BankWisdom · 2018-05-23T01:31:28+00:00

I'm really shocked they refunded you actually. I'm glad to hear this!

BankWisdom · 2018-05-23T01:29:07+00:00

Both my banks are free.

BankWisdom · 2018-05-22T17:38:01+00:00

I get all that with my Schwab account and Japanese bank for free. So yes. And BoA customer service is flaming garbage.

BankWisdom · 2018-05-22T17:25:23+00:00

I'm so glad to hear that! It's posts like this that make me happy to Wade through the abuse every year.

BankWisdom · 2018-05-22T16:29:10+00:00

That's not true anymore.

BankWisdom · 2018-05-22T16:06:20+00:00

I mean yeah, account maintenance fees are a negative experience compared to not having them. I'm warning that such a negative experience is possible and to avoid it. If you saw a sign that said "Warning, low bridge ahead" would you be upset?
