oooh, and a big wad
i got my student loan cheque through the post and banked it. Knowing full well that a big bill was coming up and I had spent the money already, I decided to draw against teh cheque. Sort of paying Paul off really. Unbeknownst to the bank, I had another accont elsewhere so I withdrew the lot to put it in and look after it (ie - spend it). It was a building society thing with a passbook that they printed all your transactions on, and so i nervously walked through Levenshulme at lunchtime carrying £800 in my wallet. Having made it to the building society, I politely waited in the queue and then walked up to the counter and presented my money and passbook to the nice lady.
"I would like to make a deposit please" I announced proudly
" certainly sir" she said before proudly counting my wad of 20 pound notes
All the way up to £900!
I caught myself checking for cameras as she said it. £100 more than i handed her.
"yes please" i said, hoping to god i wasnt going mental or being filmed
then watched her tap a few things on a keyboard, open a drawer up, deposit the notes in pile, and print up my passbook.
I walked around the corner and had a coffee just to see fi I had imagined it. Then went ot the hole in the walll to check my balance. I promptly withdrew £100 and got fucked up for as long as I possibly could at the expense of someone elses job!

Actually...
My step brother worked at a building society. Their tills are always a hundred quid or so out at the end of the day, so I wouldn't worry about the cashier's job. Excellent stroke of luck, tho'!
