Reminds of the time my great Aunt in the UK died and left me 15 quid - even back then not a lot of money, but it was a nice gesture. I got a cheque in the mail when I was like 6-8 years old or something. The rest of the heirs got together and somehow stopped it after I deposited it. Not only did they take that 15 pounds back, but I, a kid with no more than $100 in my bank account, was stuck with a $20 NSF charge.
Just thinking about it now makes me so fucxing mad, like how much of a scrooge-ass cocksucker do you have to be really, to screw a kid (and a relative, if distant, no less) over for 15 quid.
