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

Hehehehe, I just remembered one from last year.When mum died, she left me a chunk of change - nothing I could retire on, but enough to put away for a while and watch it grow into a down payment on a property (hopefully in a year or two).
As the money was coming from the UK, and we didn't trust any kind of international check/money order, my brother did it via wire transfer.
I was expecting the money within about 5 days.
8am one Tuesday morning I get a phone call from the bank.
"Mrs WBM, this is the branch manager and we've seen some suspicious activity on your account"
Once they realized it was legitimate, the manager was all over me to invest in this, invest in that, take out this CD, here's a credit card with a $3,000 limit etc.......
Pissed him off when I only opened 1 CD account, put $5K in my savings and invested the rest.
