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

Free money from the bank? Well, er, no...Many years ago, when I was around 18, an acquaintance of mine - who wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer - opened a bank account. A couple of weeks after, he received a letter to tell him that he was several hundred pounds in the red. He swore blind that he had only written a couple of cheques which totalled way less than his funds, and that there must be some mistake. So he, with his parents in tow for moral support, went along to have it out with the manager of his local branch.
Since it was too soon for him to have had his first statement, the manager dredged up his records to date and presented them. Patiently, the manager pointed to several ATM withdrawals which explained his being overdrawn.
"What," said my acquaintance, in total surprise, "you mean that when I use my ATM card it comes out of my account?"
I swear to God I'm not making this up.

I love this so muchI hope it *is* true.
It increases my feelings of intellectual superiority over about 95% of the population.
