I don't see me....I tend to take the male route...but I WAS behind a lady at the ATM on Friday and I swear...what you posted is what she did. I thought I was going to have to get out of my car and go help her. She was pitiful. My daughter tried to difuse my building anger...said, "Mom, she may be one of the visually impaired that they have installed the braille for." That thought sent me over the edge and we laughed like fools.
And this is why I send the hubs to the ATM, it's just way too technical for me
LOL I am not guilty of that one..but I might be the irate driver behind!! :)
Yeah... I'm the one sitting behind this one, tapping my ATM card on the steering wheel. :-)
Happy Birthday to Suzanne! We June babies are excellent people! ;-)
Thankfully I am the male version....I would be the weirdo behind you honking. :)
Oh that's funny! I've done a few or those things (parking too far away, having to open my door and dump out the contents of my purse, lol!). For the most part I think I do ok, he,he!
YOU my dear are a female chauvinistic pig and I love you to death.
I never even USE an ATM machine anymore. I finally got smart and we charge everything and anything over $20. Then at the end of the month, I pay it all off with ONE check. Then it's not so hard to balance my checkbook. But I still get a wrong balance occasionally.....haven't figured THAT one out yet.
