Free Haircuts

One day a Florist went to a Barber for a Haircut.
After the Cut, he asked about his bill, and
The Barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you,
I'm doing Community Service this week.
The Florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber went to open his shop the next morning,
there was a 'Thank You' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a Grocer comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you , I'm doing community service this week.
The grocer was happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'Thank You' card and a bag of fresh vegetables waiting for him at his door.

Then a Politician came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.
The Politician was very happy and left the shop.

See More ...


The next morning, when the barber went to open up,

There were a dozen Politicians lined up waiting for a Free Haircuts.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.

REMEMBER: POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS SHOULD BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON.

If you don't forward this, nothing bad will happen.

The First Officer Capt Fariq Ab Hamid  aboard the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight once invited two teenagers he just met into the cockpit of his plane during another international Flight, one of the women told "Piers Morgan Live."




Jonti Roos, who First told her story to the Australian Channel 9 program "A Current Affair," said she is Facebook friends with Fariq Ab Hamid, the First Officer on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

Roos told CNN on Wednesday that she and a friend were waiting for a Flight in 2011 when Hamid and another pilot asked them if they wanted to sit in the cockpit during the Flight. Roos and her friend agreed and went to their assigned seats when they boarded. Later they were escorted to the cockpit, she said, and they were there for the rest of the Flight.






Such a practice would be illegal on U.S. carriers, but not necessarily so on International ones.

Branch : Indore MP India

I am an HSBC account holder since last 6 years. That time, the relationship 

managers of HSBC Bank personally visited my place and were after me to open an 

account with them. I was impressed by their services that time which included doing 

all the paperwork at home. They promised me of similar services everytime. But, I 

am sorry to say that all their promises have proved false now.

My account was opened with an Average Quarterly Balance (AQB) of INR 25,000 as 

Fixed Deposit (FD). I was shocked to know recently that they have increased the AQB 

to INR 300,000!!! Isn't it practically possible for any normal middle-class person to 

keep such a big balance?


On top of that, if anybody fails to keep that much of balance, HSBC is charging 

them INR 1,500 quarterly (INR 6,000 annually) + taxes. My point is if they had to 

do this after few years, why did they approach me at all in the first place to open 

an account with them? Their relationship managers were fully aware of my 

preferences at the time of opening the account. Then, why didn't they inform me of 

the changes in bank's policies from time-to-time and why did they force me to open 

the account with them in the first place? 

Also, HSBC's relationship managers forced me to open many mutual funds accounts 

with them, which I now understand was just for their commission purposes as they 

are not paying me any returns. They are also debiting my account since long time 

without my permission.


To add insult to Injury, I was threatened by Low balance charges because the  Backoffice automatically upgraded the account to HSBC advance without my knowledge in June 2010 (my premier account was downgraded to Normal account in May 2010).I want to close my account now which is again proving to be a Harrowing Experience. 

They have suddenly turned Extremely Arrogant and  Rude now.  Also their Branch in Indore has No Proper Parking Space for customers.

I don't like visitng their branch as first of all, it is so far (15 kms from my  place). Also, they don't even have a parking facility !!! Moreover, who has the  time now-a-days to travel so far and meet arrogant executives? The Whole customer  experience proving to be horrible for me.

I am now determined to close my account with HSBC. I humbly request HSBC to reverse all my Charges and close all my Accounts and Mutual Funds with them asap.

If they don't listen to my request, the next level will be a complaint, which I  will do as per their procedure first, which is as follows:

HSBC India - Credit card overlimit fee
User kulimane
I had a credit card(master card) from HSBC. Its limit was 60000. By mistake once it 

can crossed the limit (Rs 61000).

From the customer point of view

1) They should never allow overlimit.
2) Even if they allow, there is a huge fine(Rs 550 each month)
3) Fine does not end for one month. It again continues for the next month also 

which is not correct.
4)On this end, I have canceled the card and decided to not to pay the fine amount.

there staff, and my workplace is in Udyog Vihar Gurgaon, from here the bank or the 

atm /drop box is really far which is also communicated to HSBC staff many times.

User Sachin Arora
This is regarding my recent conversation with HSBC's telecaller - Pooja, who called 

me to pay up my pending installment for September 2006. This loan will be finished 

by August 2010.

Earlier I had a talk with one of the CCE regarding this & she told me including 

this pending installment this loan will be finished by august 2010. The payment has 

already been adjusted with the end of loan. I have no problem answering any queries 

from HSBC's side, but i am really feeling sad about the way the Lady interacted 

with me.

She suddenly went out of the courtesy...

charging Rs 329 towards TATA AIG GEN.INSURANCE-MO (Mumbai) without my consent. I 

made numerous calls to HSBC credit Card and TATA AIG Insurance department about the 

issue but it continued for next 2 months. Then finally I made the payment of all my

I am a powervantage customer of HSBC. I called up HSBC phone banking on 15th June 

2010 and was handled by one Durgesh. I explained to him about a problem I face with 

internet banking where the system does not allow me to upgrade my limit for a non-

designated payee. According to the system such upgrade cannot be done online. Mr 

Durgesh repeatedly was asking me to follow the same procedure which i tried several 

times without sucess. When asked to take down a complaint, he refused to register a 

complaint and wanted me to send an email. When I wanted to speak to a senior 

manager he put me on hold for...


Just look at their Auto Reply. They say that somebody from their side will respond 

withing 2 working days which obviously doesn't happen. On top of it, if you contact 

their call centre, the trained executives, who have mugged up their lines, tell you 

to contact the branch. If you call the branch, obviously no body picks up the phone 

and if anybody (by God's grace) does, they tell you to call up the customer care. 

So, indeed you feel like a ping pong ball.
