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

There was a BBC3 documentarythat was very similar to this story, called 'How to Rob the Banks' or something like that. This guy did the same as your man - went into lots of different banks, got student overdrafts with all of them, and went and spunked it up the wall. He managed this in a matter of months, and instead of calming down the spending and bricking himself about it, he found a loophole (long since closed). He could go into a cornershop with one of his cards, buy some goodies, and get cashback up to £50, without the bank checking there were any funds to cover the purchase. So he would keep doing this, 2-3 times a day, until eventually someone seized the card when the machine told them to. The chap had run up £40k by this point, as I remember...
