how long have you used it? I did one transfer and was amazed at the speed. Then I had some circumstances that required rapid action and WISE said it would take 7 days so I did another thing... Does it sometimes just take a while?

I've had several IOs having bad days flip through my entire travel history looking for stuff to bitch about. This seems pretty risky for me without the appropriate infrastructure to back it up.

I have no problem with open doors. I do think coming through and open door and closing it is slightly less bad, but also a weird move. I get people can be creatures of habit and this isn't a hanging offense. But I wanted to humor my wife and be open to "maybe in Croatia closed doors in the daytime are considered bad luck so nobody closes doors except at night" or some shit- maybe the guy thought he was spreading goodness. I doubt it, no replies have indicated such... But I'm still loosely open to the idea.

I don't deserve much of one. I was standing within arm's reach. And I wasn't any more irate at the first instance than I was by the cafe in general (no, I am not a cat cafe person but life is full of disappointments) it was when he walked back out and did it again that I was appalled.

Also, I was only irritated for a few minutes and then just sort of bemused. People seem to think the point of the post is the actual point. I just provided narrative structure. The point was, and remains, is there a culture where this would not be a dick move. I suspect not. Not that I think it is a huge transgression- but it is *a* transgression. Much worse are the people who read poorly (or don't care) and post these wild hate filled replies. These tragic fucks go around making the world worse every day- maybe the jackass with the door was just distracted. So, I make sure every assclown commenter gets a piece and then I send them into the void where they can never bother me again. It's cathartic- like weeding. :)

@Nongnuch *******

this is through E-Trade. A wire directly from the account.

@Nongnuch *******

I think you jump to weird conclusions. I transfer, by wire, about 100,000 every month.

krungsri. I've never used it. This is my first year and I started with the bank balance, but my intention is to use income going forward as I've been doing the monthly transfers for a couple years now.

@Attikus *****

nice try dipshit. Big difference between "hey man, calm down maybe the guy was in a hurry" and "I guess your wife doesn't like sex". One comment is someone who sees the world differently than I do and one is an alcoholic who pays barfines in Pattaya. We all know which one you are. Go away, nobody likes you.

@Dennis ********

that is a pretty good line. Or if he just stood in front of the door and knocked until someone opened it for him. :)

first time I used WISE I was amazed. The second time it claimed there was some problem and my transfer would take 7 days and I cancelled it. I am not asking about WISE.
