Another day, another dollar...or not

So I get a call from my mom today with what I like to call her "mom voice". There is a tone of voice she takes on when something is wrong. In the past couple of years I have grown quite accustomed to this voice. Anyway, she immediately starts up with, "don't get upset". Once she says that the tears automatically come and I get all freaked out. (The last few times she has said this someone has passed away.) So I am all crying when she lets me know that all of the money out of my bank account is gone. What? The? Fuck? Ok I am not wealthy by any means, but money is money and I work hard for my money. Hello, you need money to survive!

So I make her call the bank on 3-way because I am waaaay too upset to talk. It turns out that the fucking liquor store I bought booze from last night forgot to put a fucking decimal point in the transaction and charged me a few thousands dollars. HOW THE FUCK DID THEY NOT CATCH THAT LAST NIGHT WHEN CLOSING OUT? So not only is my account empty now but, it is overdrawn as well and, this is my favorite part, it could take up to 10 business days to get that money put back into my account! I am so upset right now. I am so sick of being shit on these past few weeks.

Luckily for me, I have a seperate savings account with another bank and have money in there, but the point is, that if my mom hadnt been looking at her account and noticed the overdraw on mine, I would have never noticed and continued on my merry way using my debit card to buy stuff. I really hope this doesnt fuck up my credit.

AHHHHH! Whoa is me, for real.
