After explaining to Capital One about the check I mailed to a location 20 miles up the road 7 days ago - the same check that has not yet arrived there.

Capital One:  You could stop payment
Me:  But won't you charge me a fortune for that?
Capital One:  Well, there is a $25 charge
Me:  So what happens if I do not stop payment and some crook manages to cash it and run off with the money?
Capital One:  Well, Capital One will absolutely chase that down on your behalf and make sure you get the money back.
Me:  It sounds like stopping payment would be a far better deal for you.
Capital One:  Oh absolutely.  Do you want to stop payment?
Me:  Do you want to waive the fee?
Capital One:  Oh we can't do that.
Me:  Then, no thank you.

I know I'm being unreasonably stubborn.  The check is for $35,000.   $25 is a pittance in comparison.  And Capital One did nothing wrong.  There is no reason why they should waive their fee.  I am taking business away from them.  But, still...

Ok, now that I have typed all that out, even I can't justify it.
