This is a question Banks

Your 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

My missus works in a well known, high street bank.

One of the staff duties is to load up the ATMs with cassettes full of cash so we can all withdraw more money than we need on a Friday night and spend it on more booze than we need.

Now, these cassettes are marked £20 or £10, but sometimes, and this Friday was such an occasion, a hung over, teenage fuckwit manages to slot them in the wrong holes. Why these things don't come in two different shapes so this could never happen is a mystery to me.

So, Friday night comes round and there is a lllllllllllooooooooonnnnnnnnngggggggggg queue to use one of the two cash machines outside the branch. You put your card in, ask for £10 and get £20. Everyone's a winner (except the bank, but who cares).

I know this has happened a number of times at different banks, but this time, a bank employee is out on the night. Any decent employee would notice what's going on and call out her manager lickety-split, but no! This lady decides it's cash time and her and her boyfriend repeatedly use their cards to get their hands on the cash bonanza. The bank accounts they both use were from the same high street bank that they are fleecing and that she works for. Not clever.

The next day the mix up is noticed, all transactions are traced, where possible, and accounts rectified. The system flags up Mr and Mrs Stupid, the bank notices Mrs is employed by them, she is called in to explain their actions. Her excuse "I was too drunk to notice what was happening.......Yes, on all 7 occasions I used the machine" The bank disciplined her more for the fact that she was "so drunk" only half an hour after her shift had finished than for fraud.
