So on the way to work I stop by the bank to put in $500 cash. I waited in line in the drive-thru listening to NPR and a good story came on so I got into it. It is my turn and I send in the carrier to ask for a deposit slip and then fill it out as $400 and send it back with the cash. I drive away and later call Dean and let him know I deposited the $500. Today I check online to see if it had gone thru and it had. $400. What! It was $500 that I deposited. I thought about it and remembered that I wrote $400 on the deposit slip. I check my purse to see if any had fallen out of the envelope, nope.
I called that branch and let them know of the issue and he said he would check it out and get back to me. An hour ago he called and said that indeed, that guys drawer was over by $100 and he would put it right into my account!
The teller could have easily pocked the bill and it would have been my word v his, and he would have won. Instead, he took the high road and was honest!

That doesn’t even sound dumb, compared to what I once did. I intended to get $100 from the ATM (back in the days when you had to leave your card in the machine until the transaction was done, not just swipe it). I was in a conversation with Valerie about something, and we drove off leaving both the ATM card and the $100 in the machine. Fortunately, the machine sucked the money back in since no one grabbed it within a certain time, and the withdrawal had been cancelled. Just for the record, that was several years ago. So if ya’ll start to think I’m getting senile dementia, no — it’s a lifelong condition.

I remember that– I felt so guilty! I think I was driving, I can’t remember. So yeah, definitely not senile dementia.
