car related cash
I was about to buy a car and required a largish segment of wedge from barclays(cunts). I filled in a form to withdraw £3500 and waited patiently while the teller counted it out. I noted that the teller seemed to be having trouble counting, indeed she had to get more cash from the teller next to her. Still I thought no more of it until she handed me a large housebrick of cash. I thought, "this doesn't seem right, I think I may have more than my £3500 here". In fact I was right, the teller had given me an extra £2000 by somehow confusing £50 and £20 notes. Ker-ching!!! I could now afford a better, shinier car. Karma prevailed however as I purchased a 3 year old Rover 820i which quickly turned into the biggest heap of shit I had ever driven. Sold it for next to fuck all 3 years later.

Second car related cash sum, was when I took voluntary redudancy from Reuters and ended up with £35K payoff, but also they gave me my company car as it was over 18 months old. The car was an MGF and since the logbook was in my name, I sold it (technically before it was actually mine). I told the bloke that bought from me that I accepted bankers draft or payment by cheque, keys to be handed over as soon as the cheque cleared natch.. However, matey boy turns up with £12k in used 20s and 50s in a carrier bag. He thought it would be a quicker transaction. Twunt. I made him stand next to me in the bank as the teller counted and checked the money, just in case he was passing dud notes etc..


other than that I am generally skint :(
