A couple years ago, with a little less than $200 in my account, I wrote a series of checks and made ATM charges like: $10, $10, $30, $30, then the next day: $200. Of course, they make the actual charges in reverse order and charge me $120 (4x $30) in overdraft charges. I called them and tried to reason with them... $120 to borrow me $80 for one day (I had the money in my savings account) is ridiculous... they wouldn't budge.. I have never been so pissed over the phone. I was making $13 an hour at the time... 9 hours of work for that... horse sh-t

FWIW, all banks do this. The rationale is that the larger checks are generally people's rent, car payments or other essential things so they are most important and should be processed first.
