[QUOTE=badkittypriestess] I went to a Pampered Chef party a few weekends ago at a friends house, had loads of fun filled out my order, (about $200 worth) hung out with my friend went home later. Got my stuff on Sunday-whoo hoo! So I get a call today from the lady who ran it that my check bounced. Ok, I will take care of it when I get paid at the end of the month or hubby will take care of it. Do people not listen and see that those of us who work in a school don’t get paid every 2 weeks like others? We get paid once a fucking month! I told her I would take care of it and she calls back saying no good. Yeah so she doesn’t know me from “Jack” and I don’t know her. She wants cash ASAP. My friend who had the party said she would talk to her and let her know I am good for it and I don’t plan on calling her back tonight or I’ll bite her fucking head off. Who hasn’t bounced a check? I’m not gonna flake on her by any means. I will take care of it. I just needed to vent since half my day was a day from Hell. :mad: [/QUOTE] I don’t suppose the thought ever once crossed your mind that deliberately bouncing checks is a crime? If you piss the person off enough with your sorry-assed attitude, she is perfectly within her rights to carry that check down to the County Attorney’s office, and the next knock on your door might just be the nice deputy sheriff with an arrest warrant and a pair of shiny handcuffs. You get paid “once a fucking month”? Great. I used to have a job like that. I budgeted my money so that I didn’t write bad checks. You might try that sometime. ---

did you read past the OP? where several folks made that exact point/ and where the OP came back in, said she’d made arrangements to pay the person, plus expenses of bounced check plus apologies? No? ---

Be thankful he didn’t start a new pit thread about the check bouncing, blame the liberal mainstream media for not picking up on the story, and then abandon the thread for six weeks. ---

Hey, a pit thread with a happy ending. Think about it, I wouldn’t mind getting paid every fortnight or every half month, it might keep me under control a bit more. ---

The big picture is that badkittypriestess doesn’t even have any savings. Fucking Chinese peasants have savings. There many in this country that are in the same boat, and it is a serious weakness in the US economy. ---

I’m in that boat too, little savings and I’m going to have to work on a bit of debt to get in a position where I can afford to save again :smack:, :o and :rolleyes: at me.
