Hey Gang,

Boy oh boy I tell you, with all the other problems we have going on add customer service to the list of things gone wrong. This is my actual chat I had with the Western Union online help center.

I was trying for hours to send money through the computer using Western Union and it wouldn't let me so finally I tried the HELP. When I was done I needed help as in mental help from going crazy because of W. Union.


I have posted other fun stuff on my travel blog and more serious stuff on my political blog, check 'em out when you can.

THAT'S IT! Plus they had the audacity to send me a survey on how they did.

The whole world has gone crazy. I would complain but I may get another help line.
