At the bank earlier today, I handed the teller two checks that were clearly endorsed FOR DEPOSIT ONLY, and a deposit slip filled out to show both checks to be deposited, with no cash back.

Sure enough, she asked me, "Would you like to deposit these?"

Help me.

They have probably had people who did all that and who then after they were handed the deposit receipt say, “Oh, no; I want cash.”

I did not mention: the checks were payable to a business, not to an individual.

It is my understanding that a check that is payable to a business must be deposited in an account owned by that business. Cashing the check, or even getting some cash back on a deposit, is not an option.

I would think habit & repetition as much as anything. Think about how many people come up to their window during the day & just hand them a check.

Ha! Today I called to make an appt with a specialist. The woman who answered identified the specialty, then asked me my name and birth date. Then she asked me what type of appt I was trying to make. I admit, I stuttered. I said, “you answered the phone xxxspecialists? Do I have the wrong number?” Nope, says she. “I answer for 4 different departments and I forget what I’ve said as soon as I answer..”
I’m afraid.

About three years ago, I was in a Starbucks and ordered a black coffee. Looking me straight in the eye, the girl asked if I wanted cream with that. Last time I have been in a starbucks. Sheesh.

A bunch of us pulled up to drive-thru. We were just thirsty, so we all ordered just soft drinks, no food. Then out of the intercom comes, "Would you like anything to drink with that?"

Upon pulling up to the window (laughing hysterically), we could see the poor girl couldn't even make eye contact with us.

Last year I got a good deal on tires for my truck, but didn't have them mounted until the old tires wore out this year. I had an appointment to have them installed and I showed up on time with the new tires in the bed of my truck. The lady behind the counter asked me a bunch of questions too make sure the tires were the right size, load rating, speed rating, etc. Her final questions was where would I like to have the tires installed? I looked at her crosseyed and replied "On my truck, in your shop." I thought having an appointment and having brought the tires and truck to that appointment would have been self-explanatory.

There I was, standing in line at a Wendy’s. The person in front of me asked for an order of fries and a Coke.

Sure enough, the counter gal asked, “Would you like fries with that?”

In preparation to watch Endgame, I went and bought a couple movies to include Age of Ultron. Guy asks, "are you getting ready to watch Endgame?"

Me, "yes, please don't say anything. "

Him, "have you seen Age of Ultron?" (Note, there was no "yet" at the end of that question. )

Me, "did you just ask me if I've seen a movie I'm buying so I can watch it?"

Him, as he just finished the sale, "oh, well, um, so there's this important part you'll need to pay attention to [insert quick description] because [explains why] I mean it's important for Endgame. "

Me, "are You Fucking KIDDING ME?" (My volume got progressively louder. ) I turn to other clerk and ask "right now, where's your manager? "
