I got given a free pen that didn't work
I went to the Royal Band of Scotland stand at our freshers fair in 1st year, where it said you got £100 if you opened a student account with them. Having opened an account about 3 days earlier, I asked if I could get the money, to which they immediately said no. I asked if I could get a pen instead then, which they gave me. It didn't work.

For some reason I'm actually still with this bank.

I would write a strongly worded letter of complaint
oh no wait, you can't.

You joke
But it still hurts so bad.

Barclays give away free pens
that say "stolen from my bank" and "I miss the chain" on them. I heart Barclays. Although I'm cheating on them with HSBC.

I might just spend a day going round and seeing what I can get free from various banks
A bit like my plan to go and test drive lots of expensive cars.

I've always wanted to book a viewing to go and see a really expensive house and pretend that I can afford it
but I don't have the balls to do it.

You just need to put on some really nice clothes
And act like you belong there.

I read an article on how to blag it,
it says you should arrive in an expensive (borrowed) car and the woman should be immaculately done up, whilst the bloke should be in expensive-looking casual wear, like jeans and a nice shirt. The article also said to act rude and stand-offish which I definitely couldn't do!

I've gone to see a house I knew I absolutely couldn't afford
although it wasn't what you'd term 'expensive' by todays standards. It was bloody gorgeous. Some other cunt bought it three weeks after it went on the market - I was devastated :(

I did that with a rental property
because it had all the features I've always wanted, exposed brickwork, wooden beams and a spiral staircase inside with a mezzanine level. It was £1500 a month though. 3 months later we moved into the flat next door in the same building though so I'm happy.

Same here
Penthouse flat, two bedrooms, massive open plan kitchen and dining room (with a Smeg fridge!), spiral staircase up to mezzanine level. £1200 a month, but with 3 of us sharing would have been awkward (only 1 parking space too).

I would have had the mezzanine level, it rocked!
