Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Banks don't always pay attention to who the check is for either.As in write the check to the wrong store -- and they still accept it

I once accidentally sent my rent check in the same envelope as my electric bill and ConEd deposited both. I was *so* confused when our landlord called us to say we hadn't paid our rent, since the check HAD been cashed, to HIS bank! Luckily Chase was able to transfer the funds back to him - it was a lucky break that he and ConEd used the same bank.

Teppy, was it this you were thinking of with the signature thing?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

When I worked in retail people always commented that our store was the only one to check signatures on credit cards, and people were shocked when I wouldn't accept a credit card that was not in their name.

I'm sorry Aim's ex-boss is being an ass-hat. If you can't read a date on a check I'm thinking maybe you shouldn't be running a business.

Turns out it was his sister who is doing the filling in that did it. SK, my friend and former co-worker, was very apologetic. I might have over-dramatized the sitch abit, but still. I have gone out of my way to help since I left. I've spent an hour on the phone with other co-worker showing her how to run reports for the properties, I have helped SK with eviction paperwork and updating her as to where things were with certain tenants when I left. The absolute LEAST that could have been done was to hold the damn check 24 more hours.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

When we were renting through a property management co, we were going to be on vacation when the rent was due. I asked them if I could post date a check. Turns out -- people do that all the time and they were very careful not to deposit any checks early. would have screed their reputation as a property management co.

And If you know when funds will be coming in -- don't you shift your payroll dates?( permanently ) Inconvenient ,but even your employees prefer checks that don't bounce.

Oh, dear. On the other hand, it could bring extra-special attention. Not in anything like the same league, but I once had a weird growth on my toe, and the dermatologist got every doctor in the practice to come look at it. My feet became very embarrassed. It turned out to be a mutant wart.
