'Bring On The Night'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
That...offends my worldview!
That...offends my worldview!
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.
She did not understand the concept of principle.
If banks understood that, we would not have had the subprime loan disaster.
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.
There's a passage in a nonfiction work by Madeleine L'Engle in which she is indignant with the bank about this very issue, and then gets creative, and starts signing her checks "Emily Dickinson," or "Louisa May Alcott," and keeping the cancelled checks they duly processed (this was in the 1980s I think, when they still sent you cancelled checks.)
If banks understood that, we would not have had the subprime loan disaster.
I'm sorry about that, by the way. I manage to feel partially responsible.
Wow. I just had a regulation-loaded meeting. Who works in an unregulated industry? I haven't, for a long time.
