Bankers are really annoying these days. Everytime I walk into my bank, they try and sell me something. Some of them are such pricks as well.

A few months ago I was depositing money into my account and the guy behind the counter asked if I wanted an interest free credit card. I said, "what would my limit be?"

He said, "if you follow me, i'll find out"

I was like, "great, here we go. I just want to know what my limit would be"

He took me into an office and asked me a few questions. He then he printed off some sheets and said, "sign here", I was like, "what? Why do I need to sign that in order to know my limit"

He said, "the only way I could find out  your limit is by signing you up for the credit card. Your limit is X amount"

I was pretty annoyed and then he tried to sell me insurance for the damn card.

Last week I went into my bank and asked about an ISA account, and I said I just wanted to open one and deposit a 3k lump some, as I understood 3k was the limit. The woman was like, "oh no the limit is 7k", I said, "no, it's 3k"....she said, "well, the 3k is the limit for cash, and the other 4k was for investment (in bonds and shit)". I don't want to invest, you idiot!!!

I DON'T WANT BONDS! I JUST WANTED A SIMPLE ISA WITH 3K IN!

I just walked out because the woman was being such a dumbass!

Bankers should stop trying to sell shit.

Ok, rantover!

The way my manager looks at me she could sell me anything, come to think of it she has !!!!!!.
I know what you mean, but they are on a bonus the more they sell etc, and the same as mortgage brokers they get a nice little sum for setting up insurance etc.

faggy it's your fault. All these details can be obtained online, via the banks websites etc. It's useless to give bankers the opportunity to waste your time like that. And as soon as he said to follow him to find out what your limit was RIGHT THEN you should have said my dogs at the hospital I GOTZ TA GO! PEACE, DAWG. Or, if you want to be really sweet about it *my way*, you should have said 'actually you know, i am really interested in this deal you have going on, however i have an appointment im late for so is it possible i get in touch with you later or something?'

your happy cuz u are LEAVING and he's happy cuz he thinks you'll call him


awesome.

To be honest little fluffy boots, i just look at them and say no thx, you can see from my file i am maxed out left right and centre so unless you can boost my limits up and down as well forget it.  But then i dont get asked anyway for anything.
