Futile?

Gaargh, I just fell into a bank trap:

On depositing a cheque yesterday the cashier said

I see that you still use our 'dull people' account when you could move to our 'shiny special person' account?

I was dull and hungover so I said OK

You have to be advised she said I'll make you an appointment for tomorrow

I was dull and hungover so I said OK


This morning was spent wrestling a man trying to kill me with bank products



from the futility closet

Oliver Herford opened his Christmas cards in July.

When other people’s friends have gone away for the summer ... it certainly is gratifying and exciting to be cheerily greeted by everyone you know.

I don't do Christmas cards anymore, nor do most of my friends - but on reading this I'm a bit sorry

but not much

  2. Now you wont dare go away in July in case you cannot open the door when you get home!

  3. I hate it when I am caught unawares by bank product people. It usually happens when I am feeling goodwill to all people. Sometimes it's advisable to stay grumpy.

    1. I get sucked into all sorts of nonsense when I'm in that goodwill frame of mind.
