Tax Time
May 18th, 2009
Back in 2005, I overpaid my taxes by one dollar. They cut me a check for $1. Instead of caching it, I used it as a bookmark. It expired after a year.
Apparently, the IRS treats every tax year as a seperate event, for which a separate check must be cut. So, every year since 2005, they’ve sent me a treasury check for TY2005, for exactly $1. Instead of cashing them, I let them expire, so they’ll send me another the next year. I think they make fantastic bookmarks, and I want them to keep sending me more.
That’s right. I’m griefing the US Treasury.
(Update: I’m aware that I spelled it ‘caching’. I blame my creeping nerdism)

Clearly, you are history’s greatest monster.
They’re probably required by law to re-send the check until you finally cash it, FWIW.
