I used to write vulgar stuff in the memo line like “hookers” or “blow”. Stupid college shit. One day my bank called me and said if I did it again they’d cancel my account. I asked the rep her name and promised to stop... I wrote “fuck you sarah” for two years until I changed banks.

Sarah got punished twice there. First, being the one who had to make this unpleasant phone call, and then being the target of these notes.

  I think calling people was probably part of her job.

  As noted below it wasn’t a company policy she didn’t personally like seeing things like “emergency eunuch surgery” on checks. She said she would make it a policy. All bark, no bite.

What an odd thing for a bank to do, police how someone uses a memo line in a check. At least you got your revenge on them.

  It's my understanding that Venmo will flag transactions with certain words in the memo. "I Tried to Venmo $12.66 for 'ISIS' and the Government Was Pissed It turns out the Treasury Department doesn't appreciate my sense of humor." https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/5gqyzd/i-tried-to-venmo-1266-for-isis-and-the-government-was-pissed https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/5gqyzd/i-tried-to-venmo-1...

    Ironic given how Softcard used to be called Isis.

  I wouldn't be surprised if they had to file a suspicious activity report for every one of those checks.

Sounds like you never grew out of "stupid college shit". I feel sorry for Sarah and anyone else on the receiving end of this type of behavior.

You should have used her manager's name instead.

  I asked her if it was company policy and she said no, she just didn’t like it personally and would see it was made a policy. It was a small town Christian credit union account my parents set up for me in high school to start building credit. So fuck Sarah.
