Wedding Gifts that BOUNCE!

This story is one for the books.....

Two weeks ago I had a charge of $200 come out of my banking account. When I called the bank to find out what was going on, they said that a check from The Academy for Mathematics & English (my former employer) could not be cleared. They had been trying to clear it since November but there were never any funds. OK, I couldn't recall why my employer had written me a check for $200 and he couldn't either so I waited.

Well, yesterday I got the returned check in the mail and get this-It was from the Canadian head office, and it was their WEDDING GIFT to Justin and me! They had given us the check back in the fall for our wedding...AND IT BOUNCED!!!!

I find this both hilarious and disturbing. Who does that? It's worse than getting no gift at all! Because if you think of it, Justin and I spent the $200 last year when we thought the check had gone through, and then it was taken back this month. So it's not like we didn't receive a gift, we actually LOST money, because we wouldn't have spent it if we didn't have it!

One more act by the Canadians which just reinforces my theory that we should go to war...
