What is a check-tard?  It’s the person at the store in front of you that for whatever freaking reason is writing a check for their like $20 purchase.  It actually doesn’t matter the amount, why the hell would you write a check in the store?  Plus, it was a commerce check, so I know they have a debit card with that account!!!

Now, I know I love credit cards, even though lots of people don’t, well compromise with me and use the debit card.  Don’t waste my time with writing a check in line, which then the cashier has to figure out how to input the check because checks are such an antiquity.

Seriously… And on this same rant, my oil company is a pain too, tremendously disappointing this year.  Oil was $3 a gallon, price probably isn’t their fault, but I need to order a hundred gallons so that is $300 for the delivery.  I don’t feel like getting that cash or counting it, so the next option is to write a check because they don’t accept credit cards (or maybe they do at a 5% surcharge).  At first, they came on the wrong day, so I was in class and had no check ready for them.  The next day, they don’t come all freaking day until when I’m in the shower, but I left the check taped to the door for them. Things should be fine right?  No, they apparently freak because the check number is to low (like 105).  WTF?  Come the fuck on!  Because the check number is so “low” they think it’s a new account and can’t accept it.  The thing is I’ve had the account for over 2 years and I’ve only written 4 checks in that time.  To be honest, it was probably less because half of those 4 were probably an “e-check” used online. Dripping wet in a towel at my front door, I get the guy to accept it…  Not wanting to take a check because the number was to low?  That’s the lamest thing ever, would he have felt better if I got my checkbook and pulled a check from the back of the book instead?
