The fiat world is unbearable these days. The amount of conformity it demands just to handle the most basic tasks is totally out of proportion to any benefit.
Simple example: My booking got canceled. Just like that. I didn't even get a notification email about it. Makes you wonder why you even bother registering with the booking provider in the first place. Apparently, they don't want to use the user's email for their own good at all. A notification about the status change from booked to canceled would be the bare minimum a system could send out. Especially from a big, well-known provider.
So I randomly check the app and see my booking isn't there anymore; instead, it's landed under the canceled bookings tab. I hunt around for reasons, even emailed them, but I doubt they'll reply. Wrong credit card entered? Which one's even the "right" one? The Turkish one? The Islamic one that doesn't give interest on your balance? Or the crypto card that's known for letting you spend Bitcoin directly?
Or was it my email address I used to register with the booking provider? Because it didn't look like larryschmidt@gmail.com, but more like a disposable one such as clamshell.frown401@4wrd.cc? Is somebody offended because I don't trust them?
Whatever it is this time, the fiat world and its conformity expectations are really getting on my nerves again, and they can all go screw themselves.
