at least her mommy loves her, bad service, change is bad, defensiveness ahoy, i used to be a therapist!, miss cleo told me i'm special, paper is obsolete!, pretention, special snowflake syndrome, writing shit down is hard :(, your rules don't apply to me

Keeping track of checks is for old people and losers with low credit scores
Over in bad_service, beccaweccavt makes a post about some "bad service" she receives from a mechanic who charges her less than they should have but OMG doesn't cash her check immediately! The denizens of bad_service are confused. beccaweccavt then proceeds to let the community know that she's unable to keep track of her written checks because she's a bookkeeper for a large corporation and has a credit score of 800.

Keep on truckin', beccaweccavt. Keep on truckin'.

	What's so hard about writing a number down on a piece of paper? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Seriously? Easier to keep the balance in my head, and, when one loses things a lot, more permanent than paper. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	So what would happen if you lost your mind? Oh, wait. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The part where I keep the bank balance, unlike the ones which remember peoples' names and birthdays, my manners, and why I should never post on Oft_Wank, seems pretty unlosable. Seriously. I've been doing this for decades. My dying words are likely to be my current checking account balance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I think you've definitely lost the part of your mind that knew what a rhetorical question is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	No, actually, that was just using the part that knows where your buttons are. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It's hard for me because I have dysgraphia so my check register ends up an illegible hell (otherwise I'd use it). That's why I keep register receipts, use a calculator and a text editor to balance my checkbook and keep a record of spending, and check transactions online. But why would anyone get all rageful about a check they wrote not clearing for a week? Checks I wrote the phone company often didn't clear for a month.
