Today, I hurried into the bank to cash in the $5,000 check my grandparents had given me for college money. I found out that instead of my name, they wrote 'our sweet iddle pumpkinbutt'. I couldn't make eye contact with anyone after. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was finally paid back by a friend who wrote a check out. Not really looking at it, I went to the bank to deposit it. As I handed it to the teller, I noticed that he had written "sex" in the "for" memo. FML
Today, after weeks of allowing my parents to borrow money, I got a check for $2000. I took it to the bank only to find out it was fake. FML
Today, I got a birthday card in the mail from my aunt. I got all excited when I saw a cheque inside, but the cheque was addressed to the wrong name. Not only did my own aunt forget my name, I couldn't even bank the $60. FML
Today, my grandparents took me out for dinner for my birthday. After singing, "Happy birthday dear…" they froze. I had to say my own name because they'd forgotten it. FML
Today, I had to cancel my plans to go see my grandma, because I wasn't feeling too well. I called her to apologize, but she had trouble remembering who I was. When I told her my name, she said "Oh, the FAT one." Yes grandma, the fat one. FML
Today, I inherited several buttloads of money from my grandmother, including property, and by gosh did so many relatives appear from the woodwork to remind me of money granny owed them, or how they just needed an investment to kickstart their business venture. The whole lot of them can screw off. FML
Today, I visited my grandparents' house. While getting a drink from the fridge, I noticed the Christmas card my family sent them had my face scratched out. When I confronted them about it, they said it was the cat. They don't have a cat. FML
Today, my grandpa took the family out for dinner and paid for everyone. He paid the bill and my family and I were waiting by the door. I realised I probably should thank him for dinner. I turned around without thinking and give him a big hug, and said, "Thanks for dinner Grandpa." It wasn't my grandpa. FML
Today, I attended the reading of my grandfather's last will and testament. My parents, as well as my brothers and sister, all inherited a nice sum of money. I got 69 cents, because, "young Jack always was an immature little shit." FML
Today, I found out my late grandfather left me a significant amount of money in his will. I thought it was weird because he always acted like he hated me. When I got the envelope, there was $500,000 inside, all in Monopoly money. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Actually, they can cash the check without their name on it, as long as the writer oif the check endorses it..

I suppose they could, if you didn't really want to cash it.

Why are so many of you retarded? Seriously, loads of people have explained that a bank will not cash a cheque unless the name is correct!!! So if this story is at all true the grandparents just gave the OP $0! Nothing!!!

I used to have a different last name than the one on my current account and documents and multiple times have I cashed a check with the previous last name written on it. Therefore, I think all of you people may be mistaken.

Were you perhaps at said bank before your name got changed, because I would have to assume that the keep records, and use them to determine it. They wouldn't let me cash one to "Erin, my niece" because it didn't have my last name on it. The last name on my account (my last name) and the last name of the person who wrote the check are the same, but they insisted that the check was not made out directly to me, and therefore couldn't be deposited. I don't know why he didn't just write my last name, since he went through the trouble of writing 'my niece.'

I wish there could've been one more sentence explaining whether or not 'Our sweet iddle punpkinbutt' was written on the actual name or just in the memo section, and whether or not he was actually able to cash the $5000.

It clearly says, "instead of my name."
