Why do women fuss over petty matters?

This morning Me, Mom , and Sis went to Heong Leong bank to deposit money into Fixed Deposit. Its giving 4% interest which is pretty high in the current market now. Okeh, so first thing first is enquire and nego what's the deal and catch in the plan.

Any numbers mention here are fictional to cover up any unnecessary incident.

The lady explain that the maximun amount in one fixed deposit account is RM X and we have RM 3X. Thus, we need to split it into 3 separate account. Appa
rently, my Mom already knew that. 3 of us Me, Mom , and Sis. We open one account each.


After hassling thru all the document and paper work then Mom say according to the brochure each account of X amount is entitled to get a free gift(in this matter a towel). Then the attendant say "of this is out date brochure. we got a new order saying that only one towel at any one time." Obviously, unsatisfied we complained. "It is written here clearly that Each FD account is entitled to one free gift", stated clearly in the brochure. "So what nonsense are you talking" ask my Mom furiously. the commotion was pretty intense. Sis join the fun. even merrier. Me stood there embarrass even though knowingly that we are in the right stand. but you see when women argue its never like man.

Woman to Women

Mom : "Why cannot!!!" Here say can!!

Women Attendant : "Nooo, you see this one is old brochure. This new plan change abit already."

Mom : "NO! I dun care. You give me 3 towel. or else i duwan this fixed deposit."

Women Attendant : "What!"

Sis : "Why cannot? here say can." (giving the same reasoning again)




Women Attendant :
"Cannot la, I told you the new rule is cannot. and I'm not incharge of it. Its from the top." (Ad Populum Appeal To Authority)

Mom : "then you go ask the person in charge. NOW!"

Women Attendant : "Ok, wait."

Women Branch Assistant Manager: "Cannot! We cannot do that. We only left one more towel."

Mom : "No. I saw you got alot more in the box." (Ad Populum Appeal To Force)

me *roll eye when did she too a peek at it? still embarrass

it went on for another few minutes before they started a cat fight. (okeh, j/k)
In the end the Women Assistant Manager gave up. We got the 3 towel and left right after signing all the paper work.


The main purpose we went to the bank in the first place was to deposit in a Fixed Deposit which eventually turn into a fight over TOWEl . So actually which is more important to women? Money or the free gift that comes along? Its no wonder many shops , goods and even food chain store like MCd always comes with freebies.

Hence, the saying "Good thing always come in package."
