Wednesday afternoon I went to the bank to cash a check. I was in a big hurry and, rather than count the money in the envelope, just tossed it in my purse and drove off. I got caught up in the activities of the day and didn't open the envelope until the next morning.The amount written on the check in question was $173.23. In the envelope I found:
15 $100 bills
11 $20 bills
1 $10 bill
1 $1 bill
2 dimes
3 pennies
Did you do the math?
It equals $1731.23...just one little tiny number away from the correct amount...
One little tiny number that created a $1558 error...
IN MY FAVOR!!!
That bank manager's jaw may still be on the floor this morning and some poor teller might still lose his job but at least he won't go to jail...
Sorry for the generic photo, I was in such shock over the situation that I didn't think about the blog possibilities until I talked to my sister yesterday--AFTER I took the money back to the bank. It was a weird thing, but it makes for a fun story ;-)
OMG!! I hope that I could have done the same thing. You are a strong woman Amy Hoppie
ReplyDeleteI have never doubted your integrity. You are fabulous! I would trust you with anything. I know you would have never felt good about keeping that money, therefore it would never be worth keeping. Your kids are lucky to have such an amazing moma. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteThat would have been so fun to hold that much money. Wow. One of my favorite phone conversations with you telling me about that.
