Paying the internet bill
My Internet connection was cut off last year because I couldn't pay the bill in time. On the day it was due, my girlfriend told me to go to my bank and pay the tellers. It kind of sucks because they only speak Korean.

So I gave them the bill and the money. They stood around looking confused, so I produced my bank card, then my immigration card. Finally one of them told me I couldn't pay, so I asked why. She said "We don't think this is your bill."

Once again I showed my bank card, immigration card, and passport as well. Still no. "We don't think this is your bill."

I pointed to where it had my name written on the bill very clearly. Nope.

So I gave it to my girlfriend. She took it to a different bank in a different city, where they looked at it, took her money, and reconnected my Internet.

I'm still not sure why they wouldn't let me pay my own bill because they didn't think it was mine, but they would let my girlfriend pay my bill for me, even though it was very clearly not hers.
