Please just #@&% off......

i'm very crabby at the present moment and hope that by blogging about it i'll calm down before company arrives.....

like most people i have a check book. unlike most people my checks only have my name and under that it says 'DO NOT ACCEPT WITHOUT PHOTO I.D.'

great idea, right? most people never notice it. in fact - i've had people ask me what it means - excuse me? what? sigh.....

tonight i used my check to make a car payment. i wrote down my account number and pulled up to the drive-thru. i placed my check in the carrier and sent it away. the carrier came back with nothing in it. i asked for my reciept. the condescending prick of a teller told me i needed to show my photo ID. wow - someone noticed! unfortunately his attitude pissed me off and even though i had my photo ID i told him he did not need it.....

why you ask?

last month i had chris make my car payment for me. i gave him my check and wrote the account number on it just like today. he went to the bank and got static from the teller. he asked for the manager and he said 'it's just fine - we'll take it' and proceeded to tell the teller the same. i wasn't upset about this. it was a check with my name making a payment into an account that also bore my name. problem? no. not like he was trying to make a withdrawl or get cash back.

so i explained this to the teller and asked for his manager. his manager wouldn't take it! now i know you're probably all thinking - and with good reason - that he was just following my written orders. but it was just irritating. i wasn't trying to get money. i was making a payment for christ's sake! the check and account names matched!

so i'm just plain pissed. pissed that they would take my check from my boyfriend but not me! does that make sense? i'm also pissed becuase i've made my car payment this way - w/out photo ID for as long as i've had my car and it's never been an issue!

in the end i'll make my payment tomorrow. argh. me and my temper. i'm turning into my dad more and more every day......

i don't expect anyone to agree with me here - i over reacted but i was running late and just plain pissed at the guys attitude and at their managements wishy washy policy enforcement.

so piss off wells fargo.
