To be furious with Lloyds online banking?

261 replies

Keyansier · 09/09/2022 18:09

I logged onto my internet banking with Lloyds Bank and upon signing in was greeted with a message about The Queen passing away and giving solitude to Lloyds bank customers. Erm, does anyone else think that this is slightly WTF territory? How dare they assume their customers feelings? AIBU to think banks should not be giving out political messages like this? It's okay to say if they are sorry for someone dying, I'm not expecting them to be someone's pro-death, but AIBU to think they should stay out of giving what might be seen as provocative statements like this to people that may be against the idea of the Royal Family?

The royals aren’t political… nothing to do with politics… Lloyds is a British bank after all I think it only right they acknowledge her death

Ok that's fine, I shall just not have any emotions or feelings about anything any more.

Do you really have emotions and feelings about this?

A voice of reason in a sea of misunderstanding! Thank you for understanding where I'm coming from.

“A bit irritated” isn’t quite the same as furious though, is it? It’s the level of your outrage that has people mystified.

How is it a political message when the royal family are purposefully non political? Are you really saying how dare you assume my feelings to lloyds? The PP who pointed out her face is all over money had a good point, does that enrage you too?

Cas112 · 09/09/2022 20:45

@Keyansier why are you so defensive op. I have the feeling your just one of those people who love to be angry and whinge about everything and anything.
Get over it and stop being so defensive of everyone's replies

Boreded · 09/09/2022 20:46

Lol stupid thread. I bet you complain about hold music too haha

I suspect you find yourself funny. Good luck with thinking that.

Thank-you for the well wishes.

Is it just banks though? I’m interested to hear what you think of M&S for example…

Ok, well good for you?? But I don't use Twitter and don't follow Poundland or Cash Converters, and Dominos Pizza is absolutely disgusting so don't track them either, so I had no idea if they were sympathy tweeting The Queen. Also, couldn't care less what Hobbs emailed you, it wasn't my question.

Then I’m sure most people on this thread couldn’t care less about your dramatic, OTT and frankly daft reaction to Lloyds bank having a little message about the queen :-) good luck if you turn the TV on love

I can’t imagine living life being so angry at the slightest of things.

I don't shop at M&S, therefore I haven't seen what messages they are choosing to display. Why is this so difficult for some people to understand?

Why is it so difficult for you to understand that most people think it's a ridiculous thing to get worked up about. I can't believe you'd even give it a second thought.

I was just asking a general question, you should get over it IMO

How dare they show their condolences for the queen. Bloody bank.

To be fair I asked you to explain the point because I don't understand it and you replied to the other posters but not me 😃

Still don't get what you are mad about

Seriously, don't know how this is hard to understand, it's a basic concept??

i wasn't mad, i was just questioning why Lloyds were giving tribute to the RF when they are not a political or moral business.

I don't shop at M&S like i've already said for what seems like twenty times now - therefore I haven't clicked on your link to see their message.
