  1. Number 5 is false. Obvious by inspection and of course, it’s very rarely a hands-free call.

  2. I think you are talking about my wife. I would add another empting of the purse in order to find shopping list that she left at home.

  3. That’s why I’m the one who handles nearly all of the bank transactions.

  4. While my ATM use usually resembles the first scenario, I can think of a few times I was driving my van (usually only used for vacation or Home Depot runs) that it was a bit more involved. Maybe a third of drive up ATM’s have stuff that’s just too low to reach through the van window. Alas, I have seen far too many of the second scenario. AS well as “older guy or gal who takes forever counting and recounting the cash before putting it away.”

  5. PK- LOL

    John- Snort…

    Jim- Smart man!

    TOS- Sigh… yeah, had the same problem with a full sized SUV.

  6. Since cash back at the grocery store, etc., I haven’t been to an ATM in a while.

  8. My car is an old SMALL Honda Civic. Most of the ATMs are made for the newer SUVs and trucks. Even the newer cars sit a lot higher than my car. It is a fight to be able to reach everything on the ATM from one spot because of the reach issue. That is with me practically scraping the car against the protective bollards. That said, I spend more time waiting for my wife to get her card out, put back away, and money & receipt put away than it takes for me to operate the ATM, even though I have to practically crawl out of the window to do it.

    • I hear ya!

      My daily driver is LHD in a RHD world – I have to make sure I have a passenger to be sure I can get out of car parks!

      Thankfully, drive-up ATMs are a rarity, here.

  10. 😂😂😂

    thankfully, they can do anything a man can. even better.
    just ask em
