Holy fucking hell. Remember how PC Financial can't increase my overdraft because I don't have a land line? I've just been informed that I can't open an (additional) SAVINGS ACCOUNT without doing a credit check which requires, you guessed it, a non-cell phone number. THIS IS THE YEAR 2002 PEOPLE -- ONLY HAVING A CELL PHONE IS A NORMAL THING! And don't even ask me why I need a credit check to open a SAVINGS account! Oh and it's not like I'm a new customer -- I've had my checking account there for the last five years. They already "know" this customer enough to lend him $2000 on his credit card. At least with these guys I don't pay outrageous fees for the privilege of being constantly jerked around, unlike the #1 entry on my hate list, Wells Fargo.
One day I will be rich and all my banking problems will disappear because I will take every penny of my billions of dollars of net worth, get it in cash, put it in a briefcase, and wander around the financial district of New York, or London, or (heaven forbid) Toronto, or whatever city I'm living in at the moment, until I find a financial institution worthy of my business. I will walk into each bank in turn, open my glowing briefcase to show the teller my $1 billion or whatever in cash, and I will ask "I would like to open an account and deposit this $1 billion dollars, but first I need to know something: Is it okay with you that I choose not to have a land line? I only use a cell-phone, how do you feel about that? Is that okay? Is that going to be a problem?"
