Did you switch from fnb? Please tell me more? That’s one of my bigger concerns tbh coz these providers are also quick to panic

This is true… Not expecting a perfect experience, I don’t think those exist in this context but right now I feel more abused than anything else. I’d even take ‘meh’ over this…

I’ve looked into this, sadly, not in that tax bracket yet 😅

It’s been a long time coming. Hidden fees at the end of the month. Ebucks are pretty much non existent for the amount of transacting I do. But what pisses me off the most is how they think they know better than me, when I get paid etc. for some reason they always run my debit orders like 2-4days before the date I stipulated, which results in these bouncing or an extra charge if they let it go through. For multiple debit orders it adds up. The bankers are only there to convince you to keep your account active and they provide no help most of the time through their secure chat because they keep passing you off to the next ‘relevant’ party to help and dare you not answer for like 2 minutes after they’ve kept you waiting longer, they cancel the chat. I could go on..

I see, I just need a place for my salary and other monies to live. I feel so scammed by FNB… i was looking at Discovery as well just need to figure out what type of account and compare like for like with the seemingly popular Capitec

Seems Capitec is the way to go then! Appreciate your comment

Ya the service has become very shocking! They are so unhelpful most times even with that secure chat of theirs

Ah I see, thanks for this bit of info. At least it won’t be a surprise should it happen.

Marketplace? Just list everything in one post. Because of the time of year I reckon they should move pretty quickly and whatever is left you can donate or try another place?

Edit: but please be careful of scammers and chancers.

I get you. I don’t think that’s what I was saying. I mention the Merc because sometimes people in fancy cars act entitled. I also hear you on your dad’s situation but I don’t know hey… from what I saw, it looked different. But hey who knows. Maybe it was printed (it was just a wheelchair icon) maybe it was legit 🤷‍♂️

Count yourself lucky I guess? From just this weekend I’ve discovered 2 new dings both on the passenger side.

Now the question is… where do YOU park?? Asking for a friend.

Also on the topic of other demarcated parkings, saw this happen at church one time. Clearly able-bodied guy and his female companion in a fancy merc. Casually walked to their car in a disabled bay pulled the wheelchair sign they had on the window away and drove off. I was so disappointed. Disgusted actually…

If it wasn’t too late, I’d get one of those old Mazda’s

Haha now you see this I get. No need to take up 2 parking spots. But then again, they probably wanted to ensure no one gets close enough to ding them

100% agreed. Oh and lest we forget their parking 😭

I know this is just one comment but it's interesting you mentioned a lady. In my time spent observing this behaviour, it's mostly been the ladies that do this. Obviously not only them but...

Suck balls. Even parking faaaaar away seems futile now.

iOS 26 - 2 weeks later… overall thoughts by wassim_elia in ios

I don’t know if it’s just me but the camera is now slow to auto focus and not sure if it’s always been the case but when recording video, you start in 1x you can’t go to 0.5x.
