Sticks in the wheels...

I know it serves nothing to complain, but I'm really upset right now.
Since October I've been trying to order a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Chamber... It's been complications over complications with unforeseen closed bank account, check traveling by mail, having to open a new bank account, depositing the check, and waiting for approval verification that took 3 weeks. Then, I could finally pay for my unit.
Well... can you believe the international wire has failed 3 times!!!
3 times they returned the money in my account with penalty fees and all the delays that come with it.
The 2 first time, there was a stupid mistake. The 3rd time, I asked the bank manager to help and we combed through the whole thing with a senior agent. She also refunded me the penalties. Go figure what went wrong this time...
Now I have to go to the bank tomorrow morning, again, for the 4th time... 😒
If anyone has some good jokes to tell or funny videos to change my mind, go ahead
 
That's quite an adventure. At the end of the day, you're going to get the HBOT chamber no matter what, so what you're going through may as well be called a quest, like in an RPG. If the wire transfer fails again, laugh, keep going, and see how many more times it happens before you finally "ding." Become fascinated by the situation.

If this post makes you more upset, sorry.
 
Sorry you're having so much trouble! Nothing really funny about it though. How about this question: what is the universe trying to tell you? From the article, 21 Signs the Universe is trying to tell you something (21 Signs The Universe Is Trying To Tell You Something), #18, for what it's worth:

18. Unexpected Delays or Complications​

When the universe wants you to reconsider your plans — or it knows you want to — it can create delays and other complications, even going so far as to cause a cancelation.

Many years ago, a friend signed up for a mission opportunity before the health of someone in her family came into question.

She was reconsidering the assignment and asking for guidance when a letter arrived telling her the mission had run out of money.

Other delays may not be as welcome. But if you’re at a loss to explain why your plans are falling apart, it never hurts to ask the universe to shed some light.
 
I'm sorry for what's happened to you. Banks are a nightmare. They were a nightmare before the plandemia, and they've been a nightmare in the purgatory ever since. The people who work in banks today are incompetent. Because those who were competent are not there anymore, they put them in offices, simply because they were competent. That's just the way it is. Every time I go to my bank for a problem I have to take a lot of my Rescue Remedy, and pray, pray to keep calm. I manage to keep calm, and I even smile because the banks, for me, are the Beast, ("la Bestia" in Spanish.) And in some cases, it's better to smile at the bestia than stick your tongue out at her. Banks are the personified system. And every time I go to a bank I think of Kafka, who suffered so much from this animal, la bestia.

I hope everything will work out and that you'll be able to keep your cold blood, the blood of a reptile, for as long as you're dealing with the bank, the same temperature blood of the bestia. I am sure banks are controlled by reptilians. :-)

it takes more than that to make me upset lol
it actually made me laugh because I'm a big fan of RPG, not that I have time to play anymore, but back in the days, I wasted a considerable amount of lifespan sitting in front of a screen just to boost my stats and achieve lv 99 for all character in FFIII 🤣 I wonder if it can be named an obsession at this stage. Last time I played an RPG was in 2014, Borderlands 2

They usually are, but this time, I think it's the Chinese bank that is causing the problem.

That won't be a problem; the bank manager is a very sweet woman. Plus my dad always says bees are attracted to honey (bad translation of some French saying, but it's the same idea), meaning you have more chance to get what you ask for by being sweet.

Maybe some STS minions are trying to slow me down or maybe the universe is trying to give me a message like SevenFeathers mentioned.

It happened to us too though it is not bad as your case. Generally international transfers tend to have some complications with differing bank codes each country prefers to use and some times there is middle bank with branch in the country from which it is sent. so there is LOT of confusion which account number to put where and bank employees are not total knowledgeable as it is once in a while transaction.

HBOT is not a mainstream product, the manufacturer is NOT so much established seller, so their account numbers can change or close and so on. When I transferred it first time, it took 2 iterations to figure out what is correct. The challenge was their geographic location is organized differently than here in US, so interpreting which one is city, region, state etc. can be very confusing.

When one of my friend tried to send it, it failed. so I ended up giving him transaction sheet, so that bank can copy appropriately and it worked. So, be patient as long as your money is NOT lost. It shall pass.
 
Many of my friends report similar systemic situations now. In the last year I have been going through such "S(h)ticks in the wheels" on several occasions, bank, public health insurance and so on.

With the public health insurance, I had to have around 30 calls in the course of 6 months just to get one single information confirmed. Plus nearly the same amount of emails, politely asking them again and again, just to confirm the content of these call. (I spare you the details.) Mostly they forgot to write and if, they even contradicted each other. They created such a "mess", they hardly could figure it out themselves in the end.

It seems we have to get used to facing these growing systemic "glitches" more and more and everywhere. Many people fall apart on a serious level. Many seem to have lost their abilities to focus and concentrate. They become incoherent and inconsistent. It seems we are now reaching a level of dysfunctionality (to say the least) in our daily lives, unknown to many of us. "Hello, anybody at home?"

Also, everywhere the majority of those involved in these transactions are struck by the consequences of being vaccinated - with all the implications on all levels. IMO this plays quite a part in this growing dysfunctionality. Maybe it helps to keep this in mind and then it will be easier to again support where it is necessary. Hang in there for your chamber. :flowers:

I like the quotation of your dad. Do you have it in French? And yes, the Universe also always is there, present,like a big eye, giving us messages, inputs, wisdom.
