'They were giving me a hard time about closing the account': Bank tries to charge guy a fee to close account, he decides to drown them in perpetual transactions

This dude has found a genius loophole to get around a bank's fee for closing his account. So he left a small amount of money remaining in the account. When the bank then decided that they were going to add a fee for inactive accounts, he decided to find a way around that too.

These days, banks have ridiculous fees for anything and everything you could ever imagine. Sure, I'll buy into the fact that closing or opening an account used to have a bit of administration time involved. But indeed, those processes are now automated at the large banks that pull this kind of crap?

How about that paper statement fee that you automatically opted me into? And are you seriously going to charge me $5 because I blinked 500 times while waiting in line for service?

I was once ripped off to the tune of $450 by the local parking enforcement, who refused to stop ticketing my car when it was parked in front of my house (despite it having the proper permits), but the sheer weight and inertia of their useless bureaucracy kept me from ever recovering any of the money. Unfortunately, I had no recourse through malicious compliance as this clever dude did. 

When it comes to stuff like this, there's only one thing you can do; Play the game. This is precisely what user Creepy-Analyst has done. 

What better way to avoid fees for closing an account than this?
