How fast does it take for you to withdraw money from an ATM machine? For me, it usually takes less than 30 seconds to key in my password and press all the buttons I want. However, some people really take their time doing so.
On one occasion, I saw a girl flipped out her long list of passwords from her phone, followed by searching for the one she wanted then slowly key in the password. After that she checked her balance then proceeded with keying the amount she would like to withdraw. Finally upon getting her cash and receipt, she went to check her account balance again, just to make sure it matched with the balance written on her receipt! By then, you could see lots of people queuing behind murmuring about her. If I were the one queuing behind, I would have started setting up a stall selling drinks to the people queuing over there.
ATM although common to most people, there is some people who are not so familiar with it. Let me relate some interesting incidents that I had ever encountered.
Wrong Language
There was a Malay girl who accidentally selected the wrong language at the ATM menu. She panicked, turned around and asked loudly “
Body Password
One of my encounters was regarding another girl. She looked worried when it was about her turn to withdraw money. Then she did a very strange thing – She hold onto her breasts, followed by her waist then measured her hip. After that, she happily keyed in her password. At first, I was confused, thinking she was trying to seduce me (Yeah, my brain excited pretty fast). But when she was entering the password, she was saying out loud – “34 -28-36”, then I finally got it! Don’t know how long this password would last.
Wrong Account
Last time there was a donation drive for Palestinian refugees (Gazza War Donation). All Maybank ATM machines would be displaying an account number for us to transfer our donation when we logged-on. There was this old man who panicked when he saw that account number appeared after he keyed in his password. Then angrily he shouted to everyone “Don’t use this ATM machine! The machine displayed my name as Gazza! Someone might have hacked the system!”
Talking ATM
On one case, I saw a guy who I thought just got his ATM card. He inserted the card and then started to talk to the machine “I would like to have RM200.” There was for sure no respond. He repeated “ATM machine, I would like to have RM200.” Still no response. After a while the machine timeout, and the card was ejected. He looked at his watch, turned around and announced to everyone “I think the person behind the machine is on lunch break!”
I guess there are still lots of interesting story regarding ATM that I have yet to encounter. Any interesting ones for sharing out there?
By the way, here is one interesting picture:
