What do your checks say about you?

Posted: 2/17/06 at 12:28pm

Looking at the checks that people have voided so they can start up Direct Deposit accounts, I'm starting to notice that you can tell a lot about a person based on the checks they use. My friend has Hello Kitty checks, which matches her perfectly.

I use a check card with no money on it. This means I'm a horrible spender and have to relegate myself to a savings account only. Because my money lasts a little bit longer if I have to find an ATM to get it out.

From the ones I had to choose from, the only design that came close to me was a variety of florals! Too bad they didn't have one with food all over it~like a pizzeria check!

mine used to have a big centered watermark of my university, then i switched banks and went with literally ORANGE checks with a red border (i loved those!) - but now, the only time i use a check is to pay rent once a month, now its all about my debit card which i personalized silver with mod black squares on it.

Mine say "Cheapskate". They're the ones that came free with my checking account, and because I've grown to hate my bank (Wachovia), I write checks for EVERYTHING. Rent, utilities, gum, doesn't matter. If I can write a check for it I will, just to blow through them faster. Just my little way of getting even with them for being evil little f*ckers.

My checks have Elvis on them. That shows that I think having Elvis memorabilia is funny.

That I am cheap. I use the freebie checks too. Why spend extra money to entertain someone who is taking your money?

I used to have checks with the Precious Moments kids on them. Now, just the generic ones that come with my account.

I used to have cool checks... I can't remember the name, but they were a gray grid, and to mark where you had to write there was a colored square: red, blue, green.

I hardly write checks now... maybe one or two a month... so I just have the bank freebies.

You must use Wachovia, too. Did your account also come with a free dead baby?

Wachovia accounts come with a free dead baby? Man, that's service. My bank just gives you a chance to sip from the communal pitcher of rancid milk.

Anyway, my checks say I'm boring/cheap: bank logo. Since I still pay most of my bills by check, they also say either that I'm old-fashioned or that I have too much time on my hands.

The dead baby promo had just ended when I opened mine, but they still had a couple of placentas lying around.

I'm still on the checkbook I got when I opened my account. I don't write a lot of checks.

I used to have Snoopy and the Peanuts gang, then I realized I was too old to be using those kinds of checks.

Mine just say "LAME-OOOOOOOO."

currently, impressionistic/watercolor nature scenes with bible verses -- 2 have a verse from the Psalms, 1 has a Proverb, and the fourth scene has a verse from 1 Peter.

Otherwise I'd probably have some comic book or strip-related checks. In the past, have used Betty Boop, Disney, Blondie, Family Circus ... those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Also have used the plain old ordinary bank issue ones.

I mostly use my bank debit card and pay bills online or via automated phone systems as much as possible now ... only write checks when needed.

My bank stopped providing them, so now I get fun stuff. Right now they're flowers, the last set looked like little kids had made them with crayons. I order from a new place everytime cause it's cheaper to get the first set than to do the reprinting later.
