Because That's How I Roll

I had a bit of an upset with my bank this week.  Last month I moved all my monies into a new savings account with a super rate, almost 6x what I was previously earning.  And yes, I was earning a fraction of a peanut before I woke up to new possibilities.  I sat down with my advisor, he suggested the new account, we did the swap, and donesies or so I thought.  At the end of the month I got a $5 service charge for the transfer (I never got service fees for money transfers before).  And that meant my account was in red, in negative, omgwtfbbq.  I had a minor panic attack and quickly moved over the amount of money needed to cover the deficit.  That was probably 4 days into the month.  Then this month I get a $0.01 overdraft interest charge and once again my account is showing up in red.  Bright red if you ask me, but most people would probably just say it was normal red.  I've been emailing my bank dude lately about my mortgage and meetings and such so I open up an email and draft a politely scathing email.  Once in red fine, but twice in two months for an account I'm not using???  He wrote back with an update and asked me to clarify which account and said that he would reimburse me.  I said for the amount of interest I'm making in the new account he needn't bother, and I was done with my freak out.  And this was his response:

 "No I'll reimburse you because thats how I roll lol! Have a great day"

I think if I had drawn any other advisor at the bank I would be having a completely rotten time starting out with my new banking ventures.  He's just the coolest.  I'm still on high bamboozle alert at all times.  But so far so good.

I do believe the shade of red banks use to show deficits is known as "blood red".
