it's raining. Finally. Heavily. I should go check the roof again. I like denial, don't wanna.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
for those having a rage blackout (and I have been having arguments with banks since I was 16), have you heard about the story in the Seattle area?
A construction worker and new homeowner went to Chase to cash a check (although it may have been a money order) and it was for something like $8200. The account specialist refused to cash the check for him, thinking it was forged. She reported him to the cops and he was arrested and put in jail.
Chase corporate, the following day, realized they made an error, and called the jail and left a voicemail for the police to say "oopsie, made a mistake, he's not a felon." But the person whose voicemail it was was out for the day. So the man stayed in jail for five days.
Because he was in jail for so long, he lost his job and his car was towed from the Chase lot. His check was impounded as "evidence" and so he had no money to get his car from the impound lot.
His car was sold at auction.
This all happened a year ago and Chase will not apologize or make any kind of restitution. So a lawyer has taken his case and the terrible saga was on the evening news.

Jesus, what the everloving fuck? He should own Chase by the end of that.

Great googly-moogly, le nub, that is beyond craxy.
Loopiness has been achieved. Pain relief, not so much. Oh, and it looks like I have a date on Sunday.

Here's the link to the story from the consumerist if you want the original source for my tale above:

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
And it was a CASHIER'S CHECK?? Those aren't even issued unless the bank has already RECEIVED THE CASH. That's the whole point of a cashier's check. It's like a money order that way. So incredibly wrong.

Our wings are not tired.
That is SUCH UTTER BULLSHIT. I hope that guy's lawyers WIN BIG. And I hardly ever say that.

Although cashier's checks are forged and stolen all the time.

True that. But if it was a Chase cashier's check and he was a CHase bank, wouldn't that have been a bit easier to tell?
