You'll Never Believe What Happened When I Went to the Bank

I've always been a bit of a rule follower. I like to do things the right way, and I don't like to rock the boat. But there was this one time when I just couldn't help myself.

It was a Friday afternoon, and I was running late for a meeting. I had to stop at the bank to deposit a check, but the line was out the door. I didn't have time to wait, so I did something I never thought I would do: I cut in line.

I know, I know. It was a terrible thing to do. But I was desperate, and I figured I could just apologize to the people I cut in front of later.

So I walked up to the front of the line and stood there, waiting for my turn. The people behind me were not happy, but I didn't care. I was too focused on getting my check deposited so I could get to my meeting.

Finally, it was my turn to see the teller. I handed her my check and she started to process it. But then she stopped and looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"Excuse me," she said. "But this check is for a million dollars."

I almost fainted. I didn't know what to say. I had never seen a million dollars in my life.

"I... I don't know," I stammered. "It's not my check."

The teller looked at me suspiciously. "Are you sure?" she asked.

"Yes, I'm sure," I said. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

The teller shrugged and handed me my check back. I quickly left the bank and ran to my meeting.

I was late, but I didn't care. I had just had the most amazing experience of my life.

I never found out who the check was for, but I like to think it was for someone who really needed it. And I'm glad I was the one who got to deliver it.

After all, it's not every day that you get to cut in line and hand someone a million dollars.
