So Nicky, Adam, and I were at the local Publix shopping for our normal amenities. I walked up the register, put my goods on the counter, and paid using the credit/debit machine as normal. Error! The card was denied! So Nicky lends me a twenty so that I am able to pay. Thoughts of credit card fraud floating in my head, we head home.

When I arrived, I immediately went online and checked my financial statements. Everything seemed to be in order. As a last measure, I decided to call the bank. It turns out that the bank cancelled my card because of various small check card payments made in high frequency. Now, for those who know me, you know that I pay everything with a check card, including things like 35 cent sticks of gum. The bank apologized and reactivated my card.
