BOB doesn’t do online banking
or bill paying.
BOB doesn’t trust herself to do that.
I had a client once who paid his phone bill - and added an extra digit - $300 became $3300.
BOB can't afford to make that kind of mistake.
One time I paid a bill – and couldn’t for the life of me figure out why I had a “credit” balance forward from the prior month.
Seems that the month before I had paid the check number instead of the amount I actually owed - good thing the check number was larger than the bill or I would have been in trouble
.
Then there was the time I was paying the bills – and I couldn’t find one of the checks I had written the week before.
I don't get a bill from the guy who mows our lawn (mow/blow/go/Joe) until the last Thursday of the month - but I usually write his check along with a bunch of other ones the week before.
Monday I went looking for his check. It wasn't in the usual place. My husband said he hadn't seen it. Where the hell had I put that check? Couldn't figure it out.
Opened the mail on Tuesday. The credit card company sent me back Joe’s check - 'cuz it wasn't made payable to them.
So – now BOB takes her time and checks it and re-checks it again.
BOB doesn’t pay her bills on line – she doesn’t dare.
But then again - its probably just me.

One time I sent a charity donation and made the check for the number of the check. They called me since my donations are usually $50 or under. So glad someone else did this!
Margie - I am pretty sure that we are not alone!

I so agree with you! I'm too much of a control freak to let someone else do my bills/banking. Working with figures all of my life, I know only too well how easy it is to screw things up. Besides, have you noticed how inept people are becoming?
I'm the complete opposite - I do almost all my banking on-line. When I buy fabric, I do 85% of it on-line. If I could figure out a way to grocery shop on-line, I would! The one thing I absolutely hate ----- self check-out! They don't give me a discount for doing an employee's job not to mention, how many jobs were actually lost for self check-out??? Okay, not my blog, I'm shutting up :-)
