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

But then...The following conversation happened in the Putney branch of Lloyds in June 2008.
Me: Hello - I'm taking an extended trip to [country] and just wanted you to know so that you don't stop my card if you see a lot of activity there.
Bank Person: Sorry, we don't record that sort of information any more.
Me: Huh? So you might stop my card anyway?
Bank Person: Yes, if it trips the security computer. We used to record things like that, but now it is just up to the computer.
Me: Have you any idea how pissed off I will be if you refuse me a transaction in [country] even though I have come here to report in person that I will be there for a while?
Bank Person: Computer says no....
This is why we hate banks.
