Not if your IQ is greater than your shoe size, it would seem.

A loan rate of 8.9%! So good we had to type it again. 8,9%!
Who gives a doodle anyways about those, really?
And why is it that when they're doing the commercials for personal loans, they always get the sorriest looking people there is to look miserable and say to the camera that "If they could help me, they could help anyone." or "I was a hardened criminal with a severe drug addiction, but I still got a loan from them, so I could straighten my life out (and get som more drugs)."?
Hmm.. I feel a wave of negativity surging over me today for some reason.

The funniest thing about those personal loan ads is that they apparently NEED them to help solve other debt problems. Hang on, is it just me, or did you just go deeper into debt by taking out even MORE money?? And are now paying it back MUCH slower and so will be in debt for longer??
Oh dear....where did that soap box come from??? 
Another bunch to tell!

Exactly.. Why take a loan to repay other loans? Yes, it's more convenient that you don't have to pay through the nose every month, but how, then did you get yourself into the debt problem to start with. Why did you let the debts run up to £20.000 in the first place, you daft woman?
Why is it that some people sees an ad for a credit card and just HAVE to apply for it?

If I knew that, I probably wouldn't be sitting at a desk processing credit card applications.
We don't half get some baft dastards though... today I had two separate people who decided that "complete and return the form" meant that all they had to do was sign the form and send it back. Name? Address? Not important, apparently.

Well...that means you can't do anything, cos you don't even have a phone number to ring. Possibly done to niss you off you know (I've done that a couple of times)

Well, if you like the idea of a bunch of bored people in a call centre passing it around and saying what a twonk you are, by all means do it again.

Not my idea...but one I wish to perpetuate...
Another bunch to tell!
Dr E Vibenstein (You know it is, it really is.) Posted Dec 5, 2002
I like your thinking, but there's one major flaw...
...What SAE?

You could always fold up the form into it's return shape and fill that with junk mail........ 
That's if it's one of them ones that is...
*heads off to push junk mail into credit card application form envelopes...*
Another bunch to tell!
Zantic - Who is this woman?? Posted Dec 9, 2002
Well, see..... It is usually done with the junk mail that come with an SAE...If your lot are too cherap to provide them...I ain't gonna apply anyhow!

Good.
I bet you're one of those people who, instead of licking the bit that says "Moisten and seal here", seals it with superglue.
Another bunch to tell!
Ku'Reshtin (Bring the beat back!) Posted Dec 10, 2002
One good way to seal an envelope is by duct taping it together.

Gaffa tape is also extremely effective.......
Another bunch to tell!
Zantic - Who is this woman?? Posted Dec 10, 2002
My favorite is with the biohazard tape I nick from work....
And why should I waste good superglue???
