Hamper, Stall, Bind & Clog

Hong Kong may have the world's freest economy, but our bloody bank doesn't know that.

My wife and I visited HSBC to open a business account only to learn we had to first make an appointment and then jump through numerous hoops to get it done. Hong Kong banks are responsible for the deaths of entire forests, they way they waste paper.

In Canada, all the bank ever wanted was a signature and a few bucks to drop into the account.

I expect that upon turning in all the documentation we'll be required to do handstands, backflips, donate a couple of pints of blood and sell our souls to Satan before the bank will deign to open the account.
