NEW HAMPSHIRE: A New Hampshire man says he swiped his debit card at a gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes and was charged over 23
quadrillion dollars.

Josh Muszynski checked his account online a few hours after the purchase and saw the 17-digit number - a stunning $23,148,855,308,184,500 (twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred forty-eight trillion, eight hundred fifty-five billion, three hundred eight million, one hundred eighty-four thousand, five hundred dollars).

Muszynski told WMUR-TV that he spent two hours on the phone with Bank of America trying to sort out the string of numbers - and the $15 overdraft fee.

The bank corrected the error the next day. Bank of America said the card issuer, Visa, could answer questions. Visa, in turn, referred questions to the bank.

Very clever to announce to the world that you're going to keep all your money in your house - even if he changes his mind he'll still get burglarised.

Money mattress, did you say?

Woman mistakenly junks $1 million mattress

Israeli frantically searches landfill sites after tossing out mom’s life savings

JERUSALEM - An Israeli woman mistakenly threw out a mattress with $1 million inside, setting off a frantic search through tons of garbage at a number of landfill sites, Israeli media reported Wednesday.

The woman told Army Radio that she bought her elderly mother a new mattress as a surprise on Monday and threw out the old one, only to discover that her mother had hidden her life savings inside. She was identified only as Anat, a resident of Tel Aviv.

When she went to look for the mattress it had already been taken by garbage men, she said. Subsequent searches at three different landfill sites turned up nothing.

The Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot published a picture of the woman searching through garbage at a dump in southern Israel.

‘Totally desperate’
Yitzhak Borba, the dump manager, told the radio station that his staff was helping the woman, saying she appeared "totally desperate." He said the mattress was hard to find among the 2,500 tons of garbage arriving at the site every day.

Think thats bad?

I tried to deposit $300 in cash last week at the "New" Chase WAMU and they told me they could not accept cash.

I'm like WTH?!

The teller tells me that I have to trade the cash for an in house Chase check and write the check out for cash, sign it on the front, then endorse it and deposit it in to my account and then within 2-3 days the funds will be available.

I tell her its legal US tender. Duh

She says, "Yes, but there have been a lot of forgery issues recently and the testing markers do not work because the forgeries are made on washed $1's and $5's, so it takes 2-3 days to verify that they are legitimate.

I will be closing my account next week.
