closing my account at the bank

there had to be something wrong, of course...
i went to the bank 15 minutes earlier, to be a good client and not keep them waiting. of course, they kept me waiting another 15 minutes, to keep their reputation as busy ppl, even tho they had their lunch break of 2 hours before that.
so, i sign the papers, my counselor tells me we're done, it's ok, she takes two minutes to cut my card in a weird origami shape (no, not like in the movies when they cut it clean in three). and she opens the door and says bye bye.
i say: wait a minute, what about the money on my account?
she says: there's no problem, we can close the account even if you are on minus.
i say: whaaat?
she says: yes, you have -7 euros on your account
i say: no, i have 14,99 euros
she says: no, you have -7e.
i say: check.
she checks.
she writes a note to one of her colleagues to give me the amount of 14,99e and opens the door again.

ha! i win!
