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

A good way to stop your bank card on a Friday afternoon...
... is to go to Tesco, buy some groceries for a weekend trip. Then go to their petrol station, hit "Pay at pump", authorise your card, put in the £59 of petrol that it allows you to do, then do the same thing again to put in the other £30 of petrol that it takes to brim the tanks (my elderly Citroën CX looks like Grangemouth refinery under the back). Marvel as your card gets swallowed when you go to take £20 out of the cash machine for a couple of pints later.

Consider yourself lucky
I've had a inquiry on my card for paying for groceries, then "Teh Horror" wanting to put some diesel in the motor...

I hate that £60 limit on pay at the pump
Last year, when diesel prices were at their peak, I paid over £88 to fill my tank.

I feel your pain
my car has a 65 litre tank (plus another 5 litre or so secret reserve, I think - I've managed to put more than 65 in a few times). Not that this is a bad thing - when going on a long trip starting in a country with cheap petrol, you learn to appreciate a huge tank.

One of my proudest moments as a student was when my card was declined in Lidl.

£20 quid for a couple of pints?
You dirty bugger. Those strip clubs aren't cheap are they?
