Account Numbers

While writing my account number on my check to pay a bill, I thought why in the heck do the account numbers have to be SO long?!?! I kid you not, the bill I was paying had a 16 digit account number. I had to write really small to even be able to fit it all on there! So, that's my gripe of the day...why can't they just put our last name followed by some numbers or something. 16 numbers is a bit much, don'tcha think?

Where would the world be without 16 digit account numbers? Seems a bit overboard doesn't it? LOL!

My account number is 10 numbers and I thought that was bad!! Plus, I have three separate accounts, so I will never be able to memorize any of them ever. But 16? Someone is trying to drive you crazy!

the sad truth is that there are so many users it is needed. In my state we used to have a 6 digit license plate number, now it's up to 7.

You should just pay everything online so you never have to write the account numbers. :) I haven't written a check out in months...

Why can't we just use our blog names!
