i love little small town banks..my bank is just the opposite..they ran up some debits after my deposit..wehn they were made before..(they changed the deposit date on my ss check) they could have made over a hundred dollars in overdrafts and didn't..i heart my bank..

Gee, I switched to debit so that I'd never have an overdraftor have to pay a checking fee. I thought that you couldn't overdraw one. Now I think I better start looking at my account more closely. My money does seem to go fast... Crap.

Thanks for the good information, billy.

Well, it's also his fault for getting overdrawn and he should have known what the fees would be, they are not hidden from us but clearly stated in the crap they are always sending us. He's just stupid.

I stopped using my debit card, I may forget to make an entry in my register so something.

I use my credit card and a couple of times a month I visit the sexy redhead at the bank and draw from my checking account to pay the credit card account up.

And This dog is stupid also.

We're surrounded by stupid sons a bitches, ha ha ha.

This is exactly the kind of things the Republicans are so afraid of.
Getting caught capitalizing on Capitalism,that is.
It's also exactly why I don't have a bank account,or credit cards.
I hate all them sons of bitches.

Seems like it would be sorta hard to get by these days without a checking account even though I haven't wrote a paper check for some time.

And I like my credit card with the high credit limit on it cuz I like the idea of sticking those sons a bitches with the cost of my going away party if I know I'm going to be dying soon.

Don't know if I would do that, but it's an interesting option and those sons a bitches got plenty out of me over the years.

But these days I don't think the bank makes zilch off of me, it's just a nice place to go for the eye candy that works there.

i had 2 debit cards for a few years before i figured out that they were debit cards. the bank made me take them so i could identify myself at the teller's wicket.

i keep forgetting my pin #. so it goes.

I read a science-fiction novel a long time ago...it had a scene featuring a character named 'Jesus' who really hated predatory lenders...but the predatory lenders and their supporters usually mention that character in reverential tones in their speeches, so perhaps I mis-read it.

allan - i hear that's an excellent book for picking up ladies.

chicks dig fairy tales.

Stop asking stupid questions, it's been crazy for a long time.

My tellers know me so well that I don't need my pin number, more often than not they have my accounts pulled up when they be me enter the bank and get to the tellers space and I don't even have to pull a card out.

Oh, the last two comments on my blog today are a hoot.

That is awful, but unfortunately not surprising. I think bankers tend to be jerks, especially in light of this:
