I suppose that mathematically one could say I'm depositing a bill when I pay it, as I'm deducting the value of the bill from my bank account, which is the same as adding the negative of it. Since they're asking me to pay it, it's kind of negative money.
But no, then you'd be a pedantic idiot and would have said nothing of value.

This many laughing-crying emojis in a post is already the sign of a deranged mind. The tone of these always feels like you're talking down to the reader, like bringing a bill to a bank and depositing it into your checking account is the most obvious thing in the world.
But for folks with absolutely nothing, who feel like they're constantly being hoodwinked and scammed and bullied out of what little they scrounge, I can see it making sense in the same way a mirage in the desert makes sense. I can see people who are already destitute and angry at the world deciding to take their pile of bills to a local bank branch and treat it as deposits. Even if it doesn't make any sense, it must give you some kind of dopamine hit to feel righteous and demanding in the face of an institution that only ever seems to bleed you dry.

Sorry, but it's just too hard to have sympathy for people who think that they've found the financial and legal equivalents of abracadabra and alakazam.

I used to work with a dude who used emojis like that. He was indeed deranged. He also constantly did weird shit that made me question what he was thinking and how his brain actually worked.

People who get called "stupid" over and over again often find it more useful as a rebuttal than a diagnosis.

That part almost makes sense. Like, from the Bank's perspective your deposit is a liability, not an asset. But the mortgage on your house that they very much can give you is an asset for them and a liability for you. Two-column accounting works like that; everything in my asset column is going to be in someone's liability column.
But none of the other nonsense follows from that at all. It's the few sentences bordering on lucidity to make you forget how insane all the promises from earlier were.

That's why I draw big black vertical bars on the sides of my bills before I deposit them. Mathematically, that makes them deposit the absolute value instead of the negative asset.
