AARGH!

So, for two hours, I've ridden about 4 buses, been through more than a half of the damn city, all to try to cash a check.

AND I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL.

So, let's start out in the third floor of my Union. I try to cash a check from my parents. Nope, they can't do that. So, I go to the bank here and find that to cash the damn check, I'd have to pay a huge fee (and I'd find out I wouldn't have been able to cash a check there either.) So, here's where it gets fun. I get on the bus (1) and go to the other parking garage across the campus because I know there's a movie rental/convienience store/laundromat/whatever and I figure they might be able to cash it. And, of course, they can't. So, I go back to the Union via bus (2) and go to the sixth floor to look for a phonebook. I find one, and find that there's a branch of my parents bank near the campus. I take a bus (3) and go to the bank. Now, I'm waiting a little while, and I get to a teller, and find out... THAT I CAN'T CASH A CHECK FROM MY PARENTS UNLESS I HAVE A GOVERNMENT ID. So, I lose it, call my mother, tell her that the bank won't cash the damn check, and ask her to just get the damn money from the ATM. She does so, I rip the check from hell into a thousand pieces, and I get the money, I get a drink because I'm about to pass out from walking and riding and walking and riding. So, I finally take the bus (4) back to campus, and here I am.


SO, HOW IS YOUR DAY GOING?:grr: :grr: :grr:

1. Why didn't you take your ID?

:hide::yoiks:

:hi:

2. My question also. I don't think any institution

will cash a check unless you can show ID.

3. Because I don't have one, and I didn't know.

My mother doesn't want the insurance to go through the roof, so I don't drive.

Oh, don't worry, I'm getting an ID card for this soon.

4. Story of my (earlier) life.

I used to think I could exist as a citizen of the world, traveling wherever I wanted and showing only a VISA card and an expired driver's license as ID. I was wrong. Now, I have more forms of photo ID than I'd ever dreamed possible.

Get a photo ID _and_ a passport, becaue if you haven't already been asked for it, the time is coming when you'll need two forms of photo ID to even touch your own money. :(
