Bank employees share the strangest reasons why people apply for loans.

We all likely understand the definition of a loan, which is essentially the act of giving money to another person in exchange for repayment plus interest. Before any money is advanced, the parties agree on the terms. Although applying for a loan can be intimidating, most of the time it is a straightforward process. This isn't always the case, though. We'll talk about some of the weird loan applications that some bankers have had to deal with in this article. Don't forget to grab your tissues because some of them are guaranteed to make you laugh out loud. (Names in this article are subject to change.)

a license to drive?

Mary: "I was taken aback when I received an application from a man in his 20s who wanted to borrow $60,000 for a series of 9-month traffic infractions. He revealed (almost proudly) that he spent $50,000 a year on traffic tickets when I questioned him about how he managed it. The fact that he looked so proud and had an excellent credit history bothered me the most. His past contributed to his ability to obtain the loan. Further research revealed that he frequently received fines for parking everywhere, including diagonally across the road, on the side, and in the middle of the road while there was traffic.

Chainsaw Vince: "One day, a man entered the bank where I was employed. He wore a white tank top and short jeans and had an alcoholic odor. He didn't waste any time getting to my office because he wanted a "chainsaw loan." He then explained that he wanted the bank to buy a chainsaw and give it to him, not a loan to buy a chainsaw. He also acknowledged that he had poor credit. He intended to use the chainsaw as security to obtain the loan. In the end, he intended to use the chainsaw as security for a loan to purchase a chainsaw.

Rapper Dwane: "One day I received a call from a young man asking for a loan of $10,000 to purchase a rap studio. He was unsure of where or how to purchase one. In addition, he didn't have a job or funds, so he couldn't afford to repay the loan. He assured me that if his rap career took off, he would repay the $50,000. Naturally, the interest rates weren't too exorbitant. There was no arrangement.

a theme park

Julie: "How do I begin? I've had a number of odd requests. The initial request came from a customer who needed a loan to build a theme park. The park would be built around tents and be located far from any big cities. The second was a man who wanted to borrow money and put his ex-home wife's up as security. He gave the justification that since he had already paid her, it technically belonged to him. The third customer desired to launch a company that would produce and deliver snow for Christmas. His plan was to stage it in Australia, where Christmas falls during the summer. Nearly seldom does it dip below 30 degrees.

obtaining a lottery win

"I work in the commercial loan department, and one day a lady called me and asked for a $10,000 loan because she knew how to win the lottery," said Jeffrey. I made the decision to play along for a moment and asked her to describe her strategy. She obviously didn't want to divulge her technique because I could have finished it before her. I'm sorry, but I couldn't give her the money. Still, I wish she had won the lotto.
