BanksYour Ginger Fuhrer froths, "I hate my bank. Not because of debt or anything but because I hate being sold to - possibly pathologically so - and everytime I speak to them they try and sell me services. Gold cards, isas, insurance, you know the crap. It drives me insane. I ALREADY BANK WITH YOU. STOP IT. YOU MAKE ME FRIGHTED TO DO MY NORMAL BANKING. I'm angry even thinking about them."
So, tell us your banking stories of woe.
No doubt at least one of you has shagged in the vault, shat on a counter or thrown up in a cash machine. Or something

I just rememberedmy friend Tim went to the bank for a loan in 1997. Back then you actually went in and spoke to someone.
He went in smoking a cigarette, and the bank manager said "I'm afraid you can't smoke in here", so Tim put his cigarette out in the man's yucca plant.

Did much the same...I worked for a Bank (IT) and when I left I closed my account with them, but that didn't stop me going into their branches...
I used to go in smoking and if anyone of their staff approached me I would ask them to refer to their "Books of Instruction" which is basically their guidance when dealing with customers.
The BoI stated quite clearly that whilst they may request the customer to refrain from smoking, should the customer continue to do so they were to take no further action.
It pissed them off that a punter knew more about their rules than they did...
