At the company party, I won a cash prize of 300 thousand dollars. Excited, I went to the bank to deposit it, but the teller's face suddenly changed. "Counterfeit. All of it is fake!" she shouted. I froze. "No way! The company just gave this to me. How could it be fake?" The teller sneered, "Still playing dumb? You'd know if it was fake. There isn't one real bill in the whole 300 thousand dollars. Do you think this bank is run by idiots? "First time I've seen someone so reckless." I had a bad feeling, and my heart was pounding faster and faster. "I don't believe it. Give it back to me. I'll go deposit it at another bank," I said. The teller rolled her eyes. "Give it back to you? Counterfeiting is a serious crime. You and the money are staying here until the police arrive." With that, she called the police on the spot and had security block the door. My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to explode, but I couldn't help but laugh. Honestly, I suffer from severe paranoia. I'd already run through this kind of scenario in my head ninety-nine times.
