Bank Tellers

Bongalongherb

There I was saturday/shatterday in The bank of Ireland paid by check to change it, and the teller says to me... Can you identify yourself ?

Well I was confused at this time, so I took out my small mirror that I had in my pocket and looked into the mirror and said Yes, it looks like me, it is me, yes, I can identify myself. She looked at me as if I had caused an aircrash. WTF is the matter with those people. Can you identify yourself ffs.

Did any of you ever experience a weird situation in the bank ?

That doesn't sound like a weird request, your reaction does sound weird however.

If you were a comedian on stage and everyone viewing this thread was the audience the room would be dead silent right now.

Are you complaining about poor grammar or being required to identify yourself to prevent fraud?

petes

I didn't yesterday as it was closed!

I wouldn't regard being asked to identify yourself in a financial transaction as weird.
It is a bit weird though that you are still being paid by cheque.

She was probably wondering how you got into the bank!

The Moldy Gowl

What dafuq? That's so weird.

She obviously meant, can you prove you are who you say you are.
Would you prefer if I went in with your cheque I robbed off you saying yes, I am him. That's me.
Look at me. I'm him.

Monies now please.

Weirdest thing about it was you carrying around a mirror.

Can you please identify the mistakes you made?

Bongalongherb

You need some balls to present yourself on this thread. Not for the feint of heart.

Hey ? what's the problem with my grammar?

I'll be murdered here.

Hi. Are you the OP?
Can you identify yourself as such?

Did you leave the door open ? It could let in a draught.

You've got to know when to hold it, and when to fold it.

She did, but with a bad eye contact for some reason. You'd swear I blew her life up the looks I got from her.

I did hear a few folks behind me in the que saying...for fcuks sake. Maybe I was holding up the que or something, I was too baked to know.

I fcuking hate banks.

Oui.

That is the oddest thing you could do in a bank.. It'd be far worse if they didn't ask.

The fcuking que dude. Doh. I messed up badly pulling out the shotgun, I pulled it out so fast it was pointing the other way, at me. I just left the place pissed off and hopped into my jaguar 1974 car and went home for a much needed sleep.

They're all crazy out there, I'm the only sane person left in this world of make-believe.

A very valid point. I might just do that. I like birdseye waffles, but after looking over this thread it seems the best call of action is to sit back and relax to the beautiful face of Joan Burton, and the excellent mini violin work from Michael Noonan... May your pension be as as good as mine.

They're easier if you're prepared and follow protocol. Why people make it harder on themselves and then complain about the banks is beyond me.

I'll make it up to you folk for your disappointment of visiting this spacer thread...


Two Irishmen walk into a pet shop in Dingle.

They head to the bird section and Gerry says to Paddy, "Dat's dem". The owner comes over and asks if he can help them. "Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up dere," says Gerry. The owner puts the budgies in a cardboard box.

Paddy and Gerry pay for the birds, leave the shop and get into Gerry's truck to drive to the top of the Connor Pass.

At the Connor Pass, Gerry looks down at the 1,000 foot drop and says, "Dis looks like a grand place." He takes two birds out of the box, puts one on each shoulder and jumps off the cliff. Paddy watches as the budgies fly off and Gerry falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself stone dead.

Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Paddy shakes his head and says, "Fook dat. Dis budgie jumping is too fook'n dangerous for me!"



Wait there's more.



Moment's later, Seamus arrives at Connor Pass. He's been to the pet shop too and walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying another cardboard box in one hand and a shotgun in the other. "Hi, Paddy. Watch dis." Seamus says. He takes a parrot from the box and lets him fly free. He then throws himself over the edge of the cliff with the gun.

Paddy watches as halfway down, Seamus takes the gun and shoots the parrot. Seamus continues to plummet down and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body. Paddy shakes his head and says, "And I'm never trying dat parrotshooting either!"



It's not over yet ...



Paddy is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when Sean appears. He's also been to the pet shop and is carrying a cardboard box out of which he pulls a chicken. Sean then takes the chicken by its legs and hurls himself off the cliff and disappears down and down until he hits a rock and breaks his spine.

Once more Paddy shakes his head. "Fook dat, lads. First dere was Gerry with his budgiejumping, den Seamus parrotshooting. . . And now Sean and his fook'n hengliding! "

Soo politically correct, just like a robot.

Compliance to a Mafioso banking cartel ?, Nah, I will respect the customers but that one behind the desk was crazy, as in what I previously said regarding her look as if I had caused an aircrash, her eye's burned through me with passion.

Get this Irish music into you. It is un-politically correct...

Somehow I knew you'd defend yourself with some daft comment like that. I was expecting a "sheep" comment but political correctness doesn't even apply here. I'm not a robot, I just don't expect special treatment above other people.

The average employee is not any different than the customers you respect; ie they're people. It's routine to ask for proof of ID, address etc... it doesn't make them robots or whatever else you want to call them. If they allowed someone else to cash your check you'd be the first to complain.

You mentioned earlier that you were baked. She probably didn't know what to expect. Also your ability to perceive her reaction may be skewed. Why do carry a mirror in your pocket? I mean, did you even have a mirror in your pocket or did you imagine you did? You also mentioned something about a shotgun.. hopefully not inside the bank....

But ah sure.. stick it to the man.. good on ya:rolleyes:

They sure do indeed. Spacers the lot of them. An interesting crowd to be honest, I find them titillating.
