Remember the golden rule: He who has the gold makes the rules.

A two-bit pimp also doesn't have the law on their side when they decide to
steal your money. Somehow I expect to be able to take whatever money I put
into the bank back out at some point. Having them randomly disappear that
money really pisses me off. I put money IN the bank and they charge me
fees. Sure if I always catch it, keep my receipt, and go back and talk
with some manager they'll usually refund whatever money they lost or
applied the wrong fees to but it's a huge pain. I really have learned to
hate all banks. Not one of them has done a good job and I don't have
enough money to make them care that I'm an unsatisfied customer. :P
