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

I hate Lloyds TSBLong story short: owing to their incompetence I was left completely broke - albeit temporarily - as a student. I had to jump through all kinds of hoops to get my money back and I received no apology, compensation or indication that they realised quite how badly their mistake screwed me over.
Back in the day, before I knew how to write up a good qotw answer who am I kidding, I'm still winging it even now, I submitted this story and thought no more of it. It wasn't until later in the week I noticed the grey text that usually says, "You have 0 unread messages." had turned into a red "You have 1 unread message." as someone had felt the need to respond to my answer.
From that moment on I was introduced to the joy and excitement of exchanging gazzes. b3ta was no longer just a cathartic place to vent or try to entertain but it was also a place to chat to like minded cynical, twisted but ultimately fun loving people.
I'm still looking forward to the day when I can meet that person but I'll always have to grudgingly thank Lloyds TSB for our indirect introduction and making me actually pay attention to the name of the posters which led to me attending bashes and squirting the OT section of QOTW with all of my love.
