Got overcharged and charged for the incorrect service from a company, and Bank of America is denying my claim

( www.reddit.com )

Got overcharged and charged for the incorrect service from a company, and Bank of America is denying my claim I emailed a company to help pick up my passport after I applied for a visa, and they quoted me $79 service fee + the visa fee ($185 from the consulate) + $37 shipping fee for a total of $301. The quote itself said these are the fees for passport pickup only. I thought this was pretty reasonable, so I filled out an order form and awaited my passp…

Especially in America The Stone Roses is a band from Manchester and their self titled debut album from 1989 is huge in the UK (especially in Manchester where they are known for creating what’s called “Madchester”) But outside of the UK they’re not very well known. Especially in the US. I never heard any American talk about them. I’m neither British or American btw. I…

Car Culture Is Ruining America (Not Enough Hooters Locations) We’ve talked a lot about how America’s garbage infrastructure is negatively impacting our lives, but we’ve never really covered the fact that all of these places for cars have been taking up valuable real estate that could be used for Hooters locations.

South/Central America- What did you pack and not need vs. wish you had packed? Heading to South & Central America in December- specifically Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador & Peru. I’m a bit of a chronic overthinker when it comes to vacation packing. I’ve got a packing list already made with all the basic, obvious things like power adapter and dry bag. We won’t be backpacking or doing any heavy hiking. What did you…
