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

Many years ago, when I was a ladThere was a man in the town who got into debt. Hitherto, he had been a mild mannered gent who got on with people and 'kept himself to himself' (they're all like that...) but his debts got the better of him and he decided the best way to pay them off was to rob a bank. Actually it was a building society, but that's splitting hairs.
So off he went, with a shotgun (unloaded), marched in to the building society and demanded a sum of money, with menace. So far, so good. A successful robbery completed, he made off with said sum of money. However,the police caught up with him and he was arrested fairly soon after, and subsequently sentenced to several years in prison.
Thing is, he made it even easier for the police to catch him as when he'd got the cashier's attention with the gun, he asked for exactly the amount of money by which he was in debt! He didn't even go to the bother of getting some more so he could have a little nest egg. He just wanted to clear his debts.
Sad, but (unusually for a Wednesday QotW entry) true.
