What's your experience about asking a loan from your bank?

Take no offence, but I’m more curious about the negative aspects of the experience, than the positive, like, was the bank being greedy? How many banks did you contact that would (lol) have a mechanical voice answering the phone, or saying in a letter “I’ll let you know.”? No offence, but I kinda like to see if the approach is like this, or like Alice in Wonderland for my mind. Yawn. Anyway, the dice is cast, so, what can you tell me?
