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

Cashless banks?Having sold a cheap-ish car, I had a few hundred pounds cash, which I wanted to pay into my bank. I strolled into town and while walking through a shopping centre, noticed a new branch had sprung up in there. woohoo.
I went in and approached the overly preened metrosexual chap at the desk, sat down, put my card and money down and asked him to pay it into my account.
"Oh, you cant do that here."
I had a look behind him for another desk, as I was obviously at the wrong one. No more desks.
"where do I go then?"
"you will need to go to your bank" he replied.
I had a sly look at the wall posters to see if I had made the Bank of Scotland / Royal Bank of Scotland mistake again, but no, I was defintely in the right bank.
"eh?"
"we dont handle cash here"
"but this is a bank"
"well, yes, but we have no means of handling cash in this branch"
WTF is the point of the place then?
I assume this chap sits there all day selling insurance and loans etc, but the whole concept of a cash-free bank just annoyed me.
