A 98 year old woman in the UK wrote this to her bank. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the Times.


Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for bouncing my cheque with which I endeavoured to pay my plumber last month.

By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the cheque and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honour it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my Pension, an arrangement, which, I admit, has been in place for only thirty eight years.

You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account £30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank.

My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways.

I noticed that whereas I personally attend to your telephone calls and letters, when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become.

>From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person..
My mortgage and loan payments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank by cheque, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate.

Be aware that it is an offence under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope.

Please find attached an Application Contact Status which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative.

Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Solicitor, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof.

In due course, I will issue your employee with PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me.

I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modelled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service.

As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Let me level the playing field even further. When you call me, press buttons as follows:

1. To make an appointment to see me.
2. To query a missing payment..
3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.
4. To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.
5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.
6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home.
7. To leave a message on my computer (a password to access my computer is required. A password will be communicated to you at a later date to the Authorized Contact.)
8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through to 8.
9. To make a general complaint or inquiry, the contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service.

While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.

Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement.

May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous, New Year.

Your Humble Client

you make it sound so negative. why so serious BW? it's just an image. that you made.
yeah you could do some things to it that i could suggest to make it a tad stronger. but honestly, before i suggest anything, i would need to know the reasoning behind this image.
there's just so many things that i honestly don't know what's intentional and what's not.

i'm not trying to sound like a bigoted know-it-all though. even though that's how i'm coming off. I mean it's not just me who could suggest things to you. why call me out specifically? why put me on blast BW? or did i do this to myself?
d'oh!

I'm just playin. I saw your post to others so thought I would yank your chain. It's just an avatar that I spent 20 or 30 minutes on and means nothing more to me than an avatar on a SC site :) No negativity intended, my eclectic friend. :)

...but I dug your comment on never seeing an image as finished. I edited that avatar at least 5 or 7 time after I posted.

i'm sorry i'm in my lion king moment right now. you're going to have to come back at a later time or leave a message.
HA! get it?
 
I studied philosophy and theology in college. That and $2 will get me a cup of coffee. ...or help me to realize that I am all that I should not be in a world that suffers from individuals who share the same affliction. But there is always hope LOL ...and hope does not disappoint.
 
wow dude... i just checked the post. image is never finished ey? learned that back in college i did. here are some other things i learned: never compare yourself to other artists, simply because you tend to compare your work with people who you believe are better than you, and that's just not healthy. also learned that style is formed as you continue to work and develop particular habits as you create your art. you create a signiture based on your habits. but too many times people will fuck up something somewhere in their work and they'll simply pass it off as "style". understand that's not style, that's a fuck up. never use style as a crutch.

you also have to be open minded and you have to be able to listen to other people's crits. especially if you present them with what they believe is a weak piece and they go on to destroy it verbally. but also understand that those are just things you have to work on to please that one person to make that image visually appealing to him/her. group crits are more constructive as you'll be able to get a rounder point of view of what you should do to make that image stronger. take the ideas that you feel sound right and throw out the ones that go against your original thought/message/intent. work those ideas in somehow and marry them to your original piece and it'll benefit from it.

we never say an image is finished, we just say we ran out of ideas on how to make it better. care to share? heh.. this is how we grow. not just by ourselves but together! YES! me? i'm just a humble animator...

dude i went from lion king to rurouni kenshin in my head. how weird is that?
 
All great ideas and direction. If you had gone from Lion King to Uesugi Kenshin you would have floored me, but I'm right on board with Rurouni LOL
