Pissed Customer Pees in RBC Deposit Tube Near Facebook Bank Transfer Day

by editor

Call it coincidental timing, or call it pre-defined: While the bank protest circulated via Facebook is in the news, one man has apparently chosen his own and very unique method for protesting against a financial institution. He peed in a RBC bank deposit tube after vocal complaints of bad customer service. There’s just one major problem with his method to his madness: The bank didn’t get pissed on, but another customer in line certainly did.

While customers continue to become angered by -- and respond to -- what is perceived as corporate greed, the complaint has been issued in very different ways. 84,000 pledged to participate in a November 5 protest against banks, announced well in advance, a Florida man apparently chose his own form of protest against corporate financial institutions. The Saturday protest involving thousands of consumers nationwide was sparked by Bank of America’s recent announcement for plans to institute a five-dollar per month fee charged to customers using the bank’s debit card at ATMs. Thousands of Americans promised to switch out cash from bank accounts and transfer those funds to credit unions for the protest event dubbed “Bank Transfer Day”. But while some pledge, some pee.

While there’s many legitimate grievances against financial institutions, the peeing is a bit baffling. The act doesn’t quite seem to add up as matching the grievance. The bank didn’t make an error, it just didn’t offer a service – a service at least one customer seems to have believed should’ve been included on the schedule.

Right before the weekend protest, a bank customer was apparently pissed that he couldn’t get a money order from RBC Bank in Florida, at the drive-through teller. So, he literally pissed – in response to a bank policy that irritated him.

For those who assume a peeing-in-the-wrong-place incident must involve a juvenile, this one actually involved an adult. Actually it involved a man who technically is considered a senior citizen. Perhaps a lawyer will be able to argue senility or the guy could be up sh*t’s creek. Cops already found and busted the 67-year old guy accused of urinating into an RBC bank tube.

While timing, surrounding the major bank protest, seems too likely to be anything but coincidence, cops aren’t so sure. Police are accusing the guy of another pissing incident at a Port Orange RBC location, though it hasn’t been revealed whether that timeframe also surrounds the bank protest day.

If the guy meant it to be a message, the piss in a bottle didn’t reach what was probably the entity meant as an intended target. It wasn’t a bank employee that discovered the deposit tube and its contents.

Unfortunately for the waiting customer behind him, he had no idea what the previous customer had done. Unfortunately for the guy who pissed in the tube, he probably had no idea what kind of trouble could follow him after what he had done. The RBC bank customer that came along and picked up that bank tube filled with urine got covered in the yellow stuff. And bodily fluids tend to fall into the category of bio-hazardous material. And that will surely equal a real issue that can seriously up those legal defense fees.

Banks have closed customer accounts for less – but apparently this branch really doesn’t want one guy’s money: The RBC manager has completely closed the customer’s account and returned all his cash.
