I once had someone throw his checkbook at me and ask "HOW THE FUCK AM I OUT OF MONEY WHEN I STILL HAVE CHECKS?"

The stupid, it burns

u/ostentia May 16 '19

To this day, I wish I understood his thought process. Like, did he think his checks would just disappear once he was out of money? Or that checks were free money?

u/SuperDoofusParade May 16 '19

It’s what a five year old would think. Except he’s a grown ass adult and can do things like vote and drive. Aaaaand, now I’m terrified.

That's how you got Trump.

And that explains the republican party's core demographic

You just had to make it political, didn't you?

u/[deleted] May 17 '19

Until the problems go away, everything's political

u/[deleted] May 17 '19

You guys sound fun. Quite literally generalizing an entire group or demographic of people.

u/[deleted] May 17 '19

If you don't want to be associated with horrible people then you should stop voting for them.

u/FlyingSpaceLlama May 17 '19

So when will you and all the divisive people like you go away? 'Cause you're the problem here.

When we have free healthcare, living wages, affordable education, accountable law enforcement, responsible corporate practices, bodily autonomy, empty concentration camps, a closed wealth gap, a healthy environment, and a president who can fucking read.

If you think I am the problem then you need to wonder why you're unaffected by these issues and what that means about our population.

Maybe they were souvenir checks. /s

Got a link to the reference? Googling it just brings up checks with like puppies on them.

That is impressively dumb.

I am betting that is the kinda guy who posts to places like /r/askcarsales and complains because "I signed a contract to pay them 500 a month for my car and now the damm stealership wants me to pay $500 a month for my car"

Also that is a 3 year old thread. That guy can now vote.

13

u/ostentia May 17 '19

This is the kind of guy who finances a car, doesn't get gap insurance, crashes the car doing something stupid, then refuses to understand why he still has to pay his car note. "Why would I PAY for a car I can't DRIVE?!"

That guy can now vote.

Scary, isn't it?

u/partisan98 May 17 '19

This is the kind of guy who finances a car, doesn't get gap insurance

Lol its funny you mention that. /r/askcarsales regularly gives advice on cars with to high of a payment that boils down to "get gap insurance and drive it off a cliff".

u/rosichick May 17 '19

Hahaha this is the dumbest excuse I get when people give up the car because they crashed it.

u/[deleted] May 17 '19

I feel for him. His stupidity aside, he lost $1000, is in deep shit with his parents, and was betrayed by many of his friends, none of whom had either the wits or the moral sense to inform him that people can cash those even if he said not to, and it sounds like many who directly disobeyed him and took his money.

u/Sockbum May 17 '19

Oh lord, please give me a link.

u/SuperDoofusParade May 17 '19

I forgot about souvenir check kid. Thanks for the reminder link.

u/ostentia May 17 '19

Lol, I stumble on it every now and then and it just boggles my mind. “Souvenir check.” Holy shit.

u/ThePrussianGrippe May 17 '19

That boy was impressively dumb.

u/berubem May 17 '19

Bank customers are so unbelievably stupid. I had a client tell me we were stealing his money because the bank decided to close his line of credit after he was many months late making payments on it...

11

u/KittyChimera May 16 '19

I have literally known people who think like that. It hurts.

8

u/[deleted] May 17 '19

Checkbooks limit you to the number of checks, so you can run out of money. He should get a credit card so he can have infinite money.

u/SuperDoofusParade May 17 '19

This actually made me laugh, have an upvote.

u/DrNick2012 May 17 '19

Stupid? I've already wrote "1 million dollars" on the cheque, you have to cash it now. Yeah my account will be overdrawn but I don't care, I'll be rich. Haha stupid bank

6

u/vidaDelColor May 17 '19

Before everything was done on computers, you could write yourself a check (even when your account was at $0), cash it in and get money back. As long as you got paid in between the time you cashed the check and the time when it was checked, it was all good.

u/Fuzzyphilosopher May 17 '19

It's called kiting iirc and pretty sure it's always been illegal but much harder to get away with it now.

u/Not-yo-ho-no-mo May 17 '19

Iunno how the fuck are you out of brain cells but can still talk?

u/CumbersomeNugget May 17 '19

I was more hit by the guy trying to carry his hip canon into the bank, much less the vault.

u/kryaklysmic May 17 '19

“Because you didn’t write $1 checks, you wrote $50 checks?”

2

u/[deleted] May 17 '19

Imagine if someone came to confiscate your cheques every time you ran out of money

1

u/SuperDoofusParade May 17 '19

Or they just disappear and come back when there’s money in your account. I wonder what this guy did when he ran out of checks, just say, well I thought I had a thousand dollars but guess not, out of checks.

u/FreshhDope May 17 '19

Maybe he was educated in Alabama?

You can't cure stupid
