Check update, and best LJ entry ever

valis2So I went to the bank, and the snotty little teller looks at the checks and says, "But you signed the order for the stop payment on these checks."
She called in another teller eventually.
I had to continually assert that the checks I had in my hand were the replacement checks, not the original run, and that you could tell this by the numbers and by the fact that the correct address was on the checks, because this was in fact WHY I HAD GONE IN AND HAD THEM REPLACED.
I have no idea what happened, but they kept pulling out these crazy dates and insisting that the checks that I had just received were the original set. NO. NO. NO.
Just to reiterate:
The original checks with my old address are missing. As they were sent to my old address. The last check I wrote was 3850. The new checks I received as replacements (and just used) start with 4000. I kept saying, "What happened to 3851 through 3999?" And they kept acting like I'd used them, but the last check to clear out of my account was 3848. But their system kept claiming that the checks beginning with 4000 were the checks I'd cancelled. OMG. THIS IS MAKING ME CRAZY EVEN TYPING THIS.
In the end, I don't think they believed me, but they finally agreed to take off the stop payments, and on Tuesday they will call Husband and sort out which checks were which and write letters to the companies if they needed to. So it's all solved. I think. GRAH.
Okay, and to make up for the tl;dr, here is a link to quite possibly the best LJ entry ever.
