'It took them over 12 years to do what I requested': Bank declines customer's request to close account over $0.51 in remaining funds

It's funny how, as kids, we think that adults are the best at everything. They are free to do as they please, whenever they please, and with whoever they like. They are free to live their lives as they see fit with no one directing them what to do or how to do it. However, that is completely untrue. It's fascinating to notice that, no matter how passionately we remember and want it, that innocent feeling of freedom we so vividly recall from childhood has faded and disappeared and is unlikely ev…

'We take care of those who take care of us': Local bar loses half its clientele after doorman confiscates Navy Seal's military ID while refusing him entry

I have had the privilege of getting to know soldiers over the years, and when I say that their bond is unbreakable, I mean that they will stop at nothing to ensure that the people they love are taken care of. Whether they like it or not, they are now a family, and families stick together through good times and bad. There are many stories, like the one below, about troops sticking together. However, the story below is of an active-duty trooper who was denied entry into a local bar shortly after…
