Re: Stupid things people thought about Finance
Meaghan, I loved yours. Reminded me of when I was in college -- I had two friends, blond twins who defined "blond" and who must be the targets behind all those dumb blond jokes out there. Both were great scholars, but man oh man...
And one did exactly what your said -- Oh, look, somebody put money in my account -- the number is going up! (In parentheses -- negative balance)
They also left their convertible (old, beat up, but a convertibel nonetheless) with the top down in a rainstorm. Of course, it was full of water. Someone advised them to put kitty litter in there to absorb some of the water, so they did. They poured 60 lbs of kitty litter all through it, and didn't even bother to sweep out the standing water or blot any up with old towels. They has SUCH a mess! It was like concrete when it dried.
They hadn't cleaned it out when one of them got pulled over for failure to come to a complete stop. The cop laughed so hard when they explained it to him that he actually had to sit down. Of course, the cute twins got out of the ticket, but the car was not the same again!
