This morning I put a check in the mail and now I can't remember if I actually signed it or not.

I once didn't sign a check to the phone company, and when I got the cancelled check back without the signature, I called the bank. They said "well, was the check legit?" and I said yes, but I was concerned that it went through. They said that it cost the bank more to deal with an unsigned check than it was worth, so if it was under a certain amount, or to a company or utility, they just processed it and dealt if it was a problem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At least twice I've sent in my rent check unsigned. Which means my apartment manager hangs onto it past the allowable late date and then waves it in my face and tells me I'm making his life difficult.
Which? Whatever. At least I remembered to pay. It's really close some months. I'm old, but I'm not grownup.

Man, I would be HOT if the bank cashed a check I hadn't signed, my error or no. WTF?

Banks don't care who, if anyone, signed a check or what the date on it is.

Banks are evil incarnate.

Erin, I was so indignant on the phone with the bank, I can't even tell you. She said "but, it was a legitimate check, so I don't know why you're upset." She did not understand the concept of principle.

If banks understood that, we would not have had the subprime loan disaster.

Because books.
My FiL's bank once tried to process an old check that had been stolen, and was my MiL's. She'd been dead more than five years and taken off the account. And the person who stole it signed HER NAME.
