    With[out] your permission, I will continue to make assumptions as I please.

    Well, you know what they say about assumptions, don't you?

    Feel free, I just think it shows a marked lack of thinking and is decidedly glib and ill-informed, not to mention exceedingly tiresome to read all the time.

    I tend to come at it from the perspective that I have no evidence that posters posting nonsense on MSE are children, but I have plenty of evidence that posters posting on MSE are members of the wider British public and thus quite a few are likely to be a bit stupid.

    Yet another poster wanting us to tell them that they are right about everything, rather than wanting honest and informed answers to their questions. Is it just me, or is this becoming more common?


    Try working in a bank, you'll come across these kind of people multiple times a day! Plain facts like "You're breaking the terms and conditions" or "It's not your account so you can't access it" are like water off a duck's back. Their feelings and accompanying sense of entitlement are all that matter!

    Wear perfume, heels and a Burka, then try it!
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    Or the best one, "I need £50 - £100 - £1000," yes you may need but your account balance is 76p so you cant have it, "But I need it"

    Or the other one
    why have I been charged x amount?, That was because you used the overdraft, but I needed the money. No problem but as you have spent the banks money you have to pay a fee, but I needed to pay for my sky bill (*enter anything luxury here) and I cant afford the overdraft fees.

    onwards and upwards as they say, next customer please.
