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

The thing isnot every customer knows heaps of corporation law and civil law. Not every customer has read through over 200 pages of laws just to get to basic grips with how stuff like this works. For this reason banks can get away with all sorts of naughty.
I was doing some low-level coffee-boy work with a firm, this firm wanted a cleaner, they gave me the job of going through the contracts for the cleaning contractors. A couple hours of reading up on the laws and I knew more about the regulations they were quoting than they did (it was an argument over a clause in the contract).
Now when a business that incorporates this stuff into their contract can't even get it right fuck knows what hope the most of us have. The only reason I found it is because I went through the entire thing with a fine tooth comb, and it was my job at the time, if you have another job and it's a minor 50 quid inconvenience from a bank and you're knackered from doing whatever it was you do at work...
