Re: Pet Peeves?
This thing on cheques....our old insurance company, no fee paying by cheque but there was a $4 admin fee paying by DD.
Our town, excise tax is by cash or cheque, DD is done online through a third party, for a small convenience charge of $5. School milk money, it's subsidised so only about $5, but if paid online there's a $4 service charge and that's also if you top up lunch card....so kidlette gets a cheque for it. Bit annoying. |

I didn't know we could renew our licenses online though, I just googled that. Should come in handy next year when mine expires :nod:

Self scan is ok for small stuff I guess. They seem to break every time I pass within about 6 feet of them. Damn things are a PITA.
No wonder they break :lol: |

Chew with mouth open (no dieting required) Then you can self scan all you like |

I would never try to do our full weekly shop with one. |

Re: Pet Peeves?
My wife also has some sort of aura, it seems to cause shop assistants to be condescending, and that's like throwing petrol on the fire....light touch paper and run...
(My wife is an extremely busy professional and when she has an issue at a shop, for example, and they begin to tell her life would be so much easier, (for the assistant), if only she organized her life thus...) |
Re: Pet Peeves?
Just had a look at my checkbook stubs. In almost exactly 5 years I've written 40 checks.
25 for a uk credit card balance, 10 for pest control guy I used to use, one to USCIS (N400), one to DHS (US passport) 2 to myself - different account/bank and one to my dad. Might have to get a new checkbook soon only 10 left:) |

Re: Pet Peeves?
SO I have realized I don't actually know HOW to write an American check, even if I had one.
You write the dollars in words and then a fraction on the end? |
