This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

what do you mean? If I try to pay with an empty bank account the transaction is simply denied.

Nothing sovcit about not wanting the bank to give you what's essentially a small expensive loan.

In fact, overdraft protection is typically opt-in, so just don't sign up for it and you're golden.

The only overdraft I use is self-funded overdraft where it pulls from savings instead of a tiny bank loan. I have it send me a notification when that happens so I can tell when my cash flow is wonky.
