Pet peeves that should be pet peeves

It seems like every website now asks to show notifications. I don't know what that means, I just assume it's something I wouldn't like.

They also want to know my location. No thanks. I just want to look up my weather in peace.

$4900 over the last week in the most obvious BS charges on my credit card and their genius system didn't detect it.
Money transfer into whatever-the-fuck Polish currency plus a hotel booking in Poland??! Online snoring pills/machine/whatever??
What the fuck, RBC MasterCard!¿!??¡? Why is it my job to pick this shit out?!!

Hear about this:

I got the Home Trust Visa for travel as it was a 1% cashback w/ no foreign exchange fees
Wake up one morning on a saturday w/ an email: "Your card has been frozen due to the following suspicious activity". Was ~$3000 total in 5 charges to some website. Called them to confirm fraud. They acknowledge it.
About two weeks later receive a confirmation email that the case was closed confirming the fraud charges.
Statement comes in after that saying I owe this money plus the interest accrued for missed payments
Call them for WTF. They said "yes our fraud department confirmed that these are fraudulent charges. But then you have to call our credit department to get this credit back"

RBC was quick to call and shut off my card due to fraudulent charges, all got reversed no issues
It happens, not always easy to detect what could be legitimately the owner shopping vs someone else skimming it and using it

I may have mentioned this before but I'm going to mention it again because it bothers me so much.

People who think they can use their 4-ways as a license to park literally where ever they want in the middle of rush hour. They sit in front of buildings to pick up their friends or whatever with their hazards on, blocking a lane of traffic on the busiest arteries out of DT (6th ave, MclLeod Tr, etc.) Sometimes it's cabs too. I absolutely hate these people, and when you honk at them they just give you a shrug like "what am I supposed to do, not block traffic???"

I feel your pain. I used to have a BMO Mastercard and they wouldn't even refund me for a $50 fraudulent charge. From Nigeria no less, when I had transactions on the same day in Calgary and clearly wasn't in Nigeria. I had to bring it to their attention as well.

I immediately canceled my card, closed all accounts with BMO, and have never used them for anything since. I am so lucky it was only $50 and not $5000.

Contrast that with Capital One, who covered me for over $10,000 of fraud charged to my card - at the strippers, in vegas, when I was actually there as well. I wouldn't have believed me myself given the circumstances. Blew my mind how good their service was, they covered me 100% and I am a customer for life.

Yea RBC has always been rock stars in this regard for me. Had it happen a couple times, both times it was flagged by them and refunded before I ever saw it, and i had a new card in my hand within 24hrs couriered to me.

But its an automated system so im sure not infallible. That home trust story, lol what a garbage situation probably spent more $ in time on the phone getting your money back than that card ever made you haha.

This was RBC MasterCard WestJet thing and they failed to catch it.
But, I now see today that the charges I reported as fraudulent have been refunded, so that's comforting. I think I would end up in prison if they didn't. Completely lose mind.
