And how did this not raise you any red flags?

Man, if I worked at the bank, I'd feel bad for you, bro... my bank doesn't charge unarranged OD fees for anything less than $20 (though interest is still charged).

I wasn't scammed. The employer has no idea he caused me so much grief indirectly. It was a third party check that only cost so much because I overdrafted twice in the process. The second was because I failed to observe that I was conveniently registered with the program for ~30$/mo. that could've been cancelled without fee if it was more explicitly announced. It is a legitimate service, but not one I can fully utilize right now.

No, but
sympathize is a word. Probably the one you were looking for.
And my post was merely refuting what I interpreted as condescending. The details were all there for someone to
not come the the conclusion he did.
I realize now though that I probably misinterpreted that he was joking, but there wasn't a smiley or anything. I don't type like that unless I feel someone is out of line (even if I am wrong for thinking so)
