So I just deposited cash at an ATM at my bank this afternoon. but the amount i actually deposited was $100 more than what i said I put in. should I be calling my bank you think to straighten things out or will they realized it when they count it and fix things automatically for me?

don't know what i was thinking, all of a sudden I thought my rent was $100 cheaper than it is lol

Yes, call them to be sure they know. And you should know that until they figure it out and get it right, your account is going to think there's $100 less there.
 
I made a similar mistake-- only my math was bad and I wrote down that I deposited 100$ more than I actually did. UNfortunately they caught me the next day ;)
