Swearing incident

[Spidey]

So this morning I rushed to the bank before work to deposit a cheque so my account didn't go into overdraft, etc.

It was about 8:30 and I walked into the ATM and it said temporarily out of service. Being in a rush I said "Aww, for #%^$ sakes"

Someone screamed from behind the machine, it will be ready in a few minutes, then continued to mutter about customers, etc, etc. They took it really personally.

Now when I said the phrase it wasn't directed at anyone, just the situation. Bad sure I swore in public, although no one was around.

But should the person of been muttering and slamming things around because of that. if thats the worse thing that happens to them then they have it pretty good i think

I thought a cheque takes 5 days to clear...you would go into overdraft anyways....no?

whoa..........your ATM was able to hear and respond to your comments? That is a pretty smart machine, you should have asked the machine how it was feeling today.

Hhaha, jk.........no biggie Spidey. Working in a branch (especially doing the ATM stuff) is a pretty tedious task, so probably they were having a bad day and your comment put them over the top. I wouldn't worry about it.

I've sworn at machines before too Spidey. Gotta say though, I've never had one yell back at me...musta freaked you out momentarily....lol.

LMAO! Thanks for the laugh this morning Spidey! If it was me I'd be swearing at the machine too but if "it" started talking back to me I dunno. Maybe I would have asked "it" if it felt used by all the people fondling it's buttons, LOL!

You really should have picked a fight with the ATM after it started talking back.

You would think that you would apologized. You clearly walked into it, not it walking into you. Then you curse at it. Sheeeesh what is this society coming too.

ATM is a box which a teller sitting inside to serve you.

hahha man, that made me LOL........CSK'sMom is duuurrrrtttyyyyyyyy.......

would you have asked if it felt used or excited by all the fondling ?

[CSK'sMom]

I might have ji2o0k! LOL! Or maybe told "it" that it didn't need to feel so used and abused and I didn't think it was sleazy at all for allowing all that fondling. LMAO! I definitely could have had some fun with the situation....

Not my account. Up to $1000, over that the amount above that takes a few days to clear.

You are in public, behave like you are with your mother.
