Bank statement, what is it that I noticed? Hmmmm..

You know what's interesting? Right now, I'm sitting in my room, checking out my bank statement online, and I'm filling out my bills.. and I noticed while reviewing what I've paid for, that my roommate hasn't cashed my check for the gas/electricity bill for October. Also, my other roommate that I owed her $ for cleaning supplies/blinds/garbage cans for the house. hasn't cashed it either.. which is about $40 and it's been about a month too, so.. why are those checks still laying around? That ANNOYS me. Sorry, if I am paying for the bills, I expect to see them on my bank statement as soon as after they are cashed and being used what they are supposed to be for! So I guess I will be confronting them today and ask about it, because I always check everything online, especially when it comes to bills. :o

This must be a *Rachel thing*. It annoys me too when one of my checks is not cashed in a timely fashion. Part of my job is a bookkeeper and once I had a check that was never cashed. The fiscal year ended and it was a real pain to straighten that out on Quick Books. :mad:

That's why I only write two checks a month! One for rent and one for my hairdresser. I'm one of the guilty parties that forget about checks. It's a real hassle for me to make a trip specifically to deposit one. :rolleyes: God bless the creator of the ATM!

I wouldn't worry if they cashed YOUR check or not: I'd worry if they paid the BILL!!!

I hope the bill was paid.

this too is why I do money orders, money removed the same day you "withdraw/write", just like cash. also checks come in STACK that I wouldn't finish in years...... :rolleyes:

maybe next time you could get money order for her instead of check. it doesn't cost you too much.

That is also one of my pet peeves!

With our previous landlord, he could take MONTHS to cash the rent check. So I started writing "void if not cashed by X date" on them. That solved the problem! :D
