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

bank rants#1
Why is it so difficult to cancel your bank cards when you lose your wallet? I mean they ask you things like, what is you account number or what was the number on the card? Firstly I don't carry around statements in my pocket, and secondly I lost my card. ffs. Twunt Bags.

I was going on holiday to Las Vegas, and so I told my bank that I was going on holiday in advance. Apparently they wanted to know, maybe so they could flog me holiday insurance, anyhow, I get to Las Vegas and my bank card stops working. I phone the bank and they say it looks like your card was stolen because it is being used in Las Vegas and you live in Cambridge. FFs. Wanksters.

Why do they randomly stop transactions from working? You are booking a holiday, you find some last minute flights, it looks like the last seat on the plane. You book it. Then it doesn't work. You find it has been denied. You swear lots. You phone them up and they say oh, apparently lots of people who buy things from Virgin are doing it with stolen credit cards, so we just stop your card from working any time you buy something from Virgin over the internet. FFS. Chop Stains.
And relax.

You're right, but sadlyI know both my credit card numbers, expiry dates and security codes off by heart.
I struggle to remember family birthdays however.

.I tend to be drunk when I lose my wallet, and so remembering anything is nigh on impossible. I forgot my address once, but luckily I didn't lose my wallet on the same night.

I must be really sadNot only do I know my account number by heart, I also memorise my card numbers. I've just collected my new debit card about half an hour ago and I already know the card number, expiry date and security code. It's actually quite useful if you lose your wallet in a strange city (which I have managed to do in the past) - you can go into an internet cafe and book yourself a ticket home using your lost debit card.
