Totally missing the Etrade you must fill in this US IRS W8something form ..... finish it by uploading a copy of a recent utility bill or bank statement to verify your address ....but I live in New Zealand, we haven't had written utility bills or bank statements for years, we don't even have checks anymore, everything is paid for by bank transfer ..... but you must upload a scan of a utility bill before you can do anything .... how about a screenshot of the reminder dialog the phone company's app kicks up every month ... no it must be a scan of a paper bill .... you know our postal service stopped delivering every day because no one sends bills or checks any more right? .... paper paper paper .... so here's a vaguely doctored copy of a credit card statement I printed out so it doesn't contain anything bad ..... 10 minutes of spinning "uploading" cursor and then logged out for inactivity ... try again ... logged out again and again ... you're not really serious now are you now Etrade, you're just messing with me for the lulz ....

On to calling international to Etrade customer service, at 5am local time ..... "The call backlog is approximately 60 minutes" ..... 45 minutes in I get hung up on .... call back .... "The call backlog is approximately 90 minutes" .... 60 minutes in this time I get hung up on .....

That as my last week, how was yours?
