Banks really p*ss me off. I'm not even going to go into the story of me trying to get a business loan, as it tends to make my blood boil.

Perhaps UK banks know they can do what ever they please, since UK residents are mostly suckers.

The worst problem I've had with banks in the last couple of months are some of the truly AAA+++ chicks who work there!

Once I entered the bank and there were 2 or 3 women sitting at desks on either side of the front of the bank (with me standing in the middle), two old women on my left(one busy working), the one on my right was absolutely gorgeous!

I didn't know where to sit! I could have sat opposite the good looking one, but I would have been quite unable to concentrate on  what I was there for. I could just imagine it... "I think this is the breast bank ever.."

So, feeling too nervous, I went and sat down at the desk of the old woman, who made me feel quite calm

I have thought about what it would be like if I were to choose the other woman instead, however....


In order to make customers like ME feel more comfortable, banks should employ LESS attractive women! :-o

No, this is quite clearly the result of capitalist exploitation.

:-D Of course it is! It's never the fault of stupid consumers!

Its not a case of being suckers or anything else, its a case of there being no impitus on the part of the banks to improve, I mean, where else would you go to except another bank with equally {bleep}ty service. Its not just one or two banks, its all of em!

But that's where you're wrong.

To say that all customers are dissatisfied with their bank(s) would be a huge generalization.

I'm not the only person who is happy with the particular bank I'm with(Was "Bank of Melbourne", now "Westpac").

There are crap banks, but there are good ones also. (I live in Australia, BTW)

Perhaps it really is just the UK that is like that. OR, perhaps it's just you guys... it's really too small a sample of customers to know.

The fact is that I have a quality banking service.

I walk in the bank fairly happy - I walk out with a huge grin on my face. NOT because of the women there, but because of the fine job they are doing. They BY FAR exceed my expectations just about every time.

No joke.



Some people will keep complaining about the bank that they are with - but never change.

It's usually the same one here - "The Commonwealth Bank"

It doesn't matter how bad it gets, it's always very popular! There are huge lines of people at the ATM's. WHY wait for so long?

These people who complain about the huge fees etc. (and they do have large fee's) are the same ones who will wait 10 mins to get to the ATM - and they complain about that, too.

Not I. If I'm using the ATM, I walk straight up (there are some very convenient ATM locations for the bank I'm with) get my money - or do whatever I'm doing - and go

My charges have always been either very low, or NILL. (For my personal account, that is, my business account is expensive, but worth it)

Their charges have been high. (For a very basic personal account)

I don't understand some people.

you really are nervous around women aren't you?? what are you afraid of??

I believe that looks CAN kill.

It's not women. Or at least, not women in general.

It's just the most attractive ones (rated ~ >90%) that really get my blood pressure up!

I do need to do something about it. It's a real problem at times for me

This is one of the main reasons that I will most likely end up as an eccentric old hermit. (Either that, or I'll be desperate enough to end up with the last herroin addicted fat escaped mental patient slut)
