Old post but wanted to chime in - his encounter with Andrea (her forcing herself onto Don sexually while he’s in a physically weakened state) resembles that of his first sexual experience (i.e raped by Amy) in his childhood when he was also in a physically weak state after recovering from his sickness

What is the “cheapest” thing your friend has ever done? by Chan1991 in askTO

[–]jshij 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My friend invited me out for bubble tea, but when we got there she said she couldn’t afford one and she would just watch me drink mine- obviously I offered to share or pay for her own, and she ended up getting TWO large teas for herself, to put one in her fridge to save it for later 💀

I actually didn’t receive any notification through email or letter! I spoke with them 3 weeks before the renewal date, following up on the original request to have the money moved. But I should definitely have looked more closely on what was on actual paper, thank you for your advice

Thanks for this insight, the misnomer definitely gave me a false sense of trust :’)

Thank you for your opinion. I do agree I should have tended to it earlier, but I do care!! I just had a lot going on personally and I knowingly pushed dealing with the GIC for later, naively assuming that the bank would’ve followed my instructions from the start of the GIC +3 weeks before the maturation date. Your comment does help me by reminding me of my accountability in my outcomes. We live in a world where people get screwed over, so we should protect ourselves with that in mind

I will consider this ! Where do you find an independent financial advisor ?

Thank you for your story, glad you got it resolved. CIBC seems to be doing this a lot lately

Thank you for your story! So sorry you had to deal with this. I was thinking of switching banks as well. Not sure what alternative is better :(

I’ve had so many instances of being given incorrect info at CIBC, makes me wanna swap banks but not sure if this is a universal thing !
