Torture

My tax refund finally arrived in my bank today (Monday in America) after not getting direct-deposited like expected, but instead mailed to my mother's address in New York, and then forwarded to her house in Florida, and then mailed by my mother back to my Chase Manhattan account... about 17 days round trip.

So I woke up this morning, checked the account on the internet, and there it was. I immediately drove to the ATM to start my spending spree, but the ATM wouldn't let me at the money: The check hasn't cleared yet.

The banking system is mocking me.
