31 hours of swim lessons to go until my vacation.......
people don't realize that i am actually trying to make a little $ teaching swim lessons. I don't just want to teach the world to swim.
The swim lesson part is easy. its the parents.
ya, i know half the people i teach lessons to probably read my blog don't worry its not you guys, if it is- thats ok you love me enough not to be offended .
-if you don't come, umm i'm still there- you still have to pay.
-i don't praise the kids very much because the moms do more than enough. if they do get a compilment from me they get pretty excited.
-i do have a FAQ portion of my blog...that means you don't have to email me 15 times asking questions that are frequently asked!!
-i really can't trade everyone something. unless you work at a medspa you should probably just pay me. i'm also expected to fund a few YW's summer expenses- dang my husband being a sunday school teacher!
I think i'm a little STRESSED!
I FREAKED out on the bank teller today. Tell me if this is unjustified.....
So I had 18 checks. Your only allowed 6 checks when you go through the drive through. They've told me this like 5 or 6 times.
BUT Grace and Elsie were asleep. And they were so freaking crabby. I was not going to wake them up to go in the bank. So I just figured I'd drive through 3 times.
the first time she asks can i do anything else for you? s:no i'll be back in a minute b/c i have 12 more checks.
rbl(rude bank lady) we only allow 6 checks per transaction. you need to come inside.
s: i'm not coming inside, my 2 kids are asleep. im just going to drive around and you pretend like i'm a new customer.
rbl-you are only allowed 6 checks! you must come inside the bank
s: I heard you! but i will not come in the bank! there is no one else here, just put my checks in my account and then do it 2 more times.
rbl: our policy is that you can only have 6 checks per transaction, there are signs posted that state this, we do this b/c the drive though is supposed a quick alternative.
ok, i really don't get very mad. i'm usually quite nice and let people walk all over me but i was getting very upset.....
S: (yelling & crying & very frustrated) JUST PUT MY CHECKS IN THE BANK RIGHT NOW, I AM COMING BACK AND DOING IT AGAIN.
rbl: but sarah...
s: NO. DO IT NOW. I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU! THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS. JUST DO IT!! (i've totally lost control, i'm so upset, shaking.)
2nd time through....
different teller- how can i help you?
s: please deposit in checking.
dt-is that all i can do for you?
s:yes.
dt-have a nice day.
s:thanks
3rd time through.
sarah this is the branch manger you must come in the bank to deposit these checks.
s:i know you've told me like 15 million times. i really just want to put my checks in the bank. and you have no customer service.
bm-we are going to let you do it this time but you can't do this again. we've told you this before and you continue to do this.
s:i know that and i'm probably going to do it again.
bm-you can't this is our policy.
s:(crying again and getting upset) ARE YOU SERIOUS? HAVE YOU NEVER HAD KIDS? THEY ARE SO CRABBY, I'M NOT WAKING THEM UP! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE GIVING ME THIS HARD OF A TIME! THERE IS NO ONE ELSE AT THIS BANK, YOU'VE SPENT 45 MIN TELLING ME NOT TO DO SOMETHING WHEN ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PRETEND LIKE I'M A NEW CUSTOMER!
bm-sarah you are not following our policy...
s:cutting her off... STOP! JUST PUT MY CHECKS IN THE BANK. IF YOU DON"T LET ME DO THIS NEXT TIME MY ACCOUNT WILL BE CLOSED!
bm:sarah...
S: (going off on a tangent)JUST DO IT- OH MY GOSH YOU ARE THE MEANEST LADY!!!! CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT ITS LIKE TO HAVE KIDS? I WORK A TON TEACHING KIDS SWIMMING, I ONLY GET DOWN LIKE EVERY 2 WEEKS B/C MY HUSBAND SAYS I HAVE TO B/C WE RAN OUT OF $ AND YOUR GIVING ME THIS HARD OF A TIME?? THIS IS NOT A BIG DEAL AND YOU ARE BEING SO DIFFICULT. PLEASE JUST DO IT NOW.
the little capsule comes back....
i love my life. keep repeating over and over until i beieve it.
first credit union on main and power.

Good for you. What a stupid policy.
Sarah, your blog has got to be the most entertaining blog I read. I can't wait to check my blog mailbox to see if "The Williams" has posted again!! I feel for you and your bank experience. What a bunch of idiots. I can see if they were busy, but come on. NO one else was there. You should go above them and talk to some higher up person. I can't imagine you freaking out on them. You are always so happy. It does make me feel better though:) That I'm not the only freako sometimes!!! :)
Oh Sarah, come on now, Policies are policies. If they bend the rules for you they will have to bend the rules for everyone. They can't do that.
Geez, what a load of ....! If you are willing to drive in circles around the bank 3 times, wasting your personal time and energy and gas, then they should be willing to take care of your banking needs, all 3 times! It's not like you freaked out on them because they wouldn't do all 18 checks at one time!!! You were following the rules.
You are totally justified in your meltdown. Absolutely. :)
hi sarah :D your blog is so cute.. and HILARIOUS! we love your kids they are awesome (and always make us laugh!!)
Sarah, I love that you posted the name of the bank... I was going to ask for it! Ridiculous people! I'm all angry for you and I wasn't even there. You should really write a letter to the branch manager--one other then the one you got in the yelling match with. And give names! They really need to work on their customer service.
Oh Sarah, that was one of the best post I've ever read!! I really felt bad for you!! I get my checks for preschool and I go through the drive-thru everytime with tons of checks and they never have said a word. Sorry you go to the cranky bank. People need to get a life!!
Also as for what you said about the "parents"- Amen to that, teaching is great it is the parents who are annoying sometimes =)
you all are so sweet. i especially love when you say this is your best post. my best post are the ones that make everyone else feel like their life isn't so bad
HA! you think some of those "everydays a christmas letter blogs" would get the hint, we don't believe your life is THAT perfect.
Sarah, Good for you! That bank sounds totally gay! I would for sure switch and I love that you google "revenge". Thanks for keeping me entertained.
