Money and Embarrassing: Flustered

Flustered

By Tygastyle - 23/06/2009 17:37 - United States

Today, at the bank, I went to get some coffee from their machine. I gave it my money and pressed the buttons but nothing was happening. After banging on the machine for ten minutes and calling a teller over, a little boy reached up on his tippy toes to press the giant green START button for me. FML

Today, I went to an ATM to see how much money I had in my account. I put the card in. It never gave it back. FML

Today, as soon as I put my card into an ATM, the words "Out of Order" popped up and it would not return my card. Since I was at the bank, I got a free replacement. Trying to draw money again the second machine did the same thing and a third card costs more than what I have in my account. FML

Today, I went to the grocery store where this really cute guy works. I swiped my card but the machine wouldn't read it. I swiped it quickly some more before getting frustrated and saying, "Your stupid machine doesn't work!" He took the card and turned it around. His face said it all. FML

Today, I went to the bank to make a deposit. While I was waiting on my transaction, the bank tellers were making fun of me. I could tell cause I heard them through the speaker. FML

No good deed…

Today, after already having a terrible day, I went to Starbucks for an espresso. Being nice, I put the last dollar I had in my wallet in their tip jar. While paying for my drink, my card was denied for insufficient funds. The world hates me. FML

Today, a customer tried to pay for a $1.55 cup of coffee with a gift card, but he came up a dollar short. He let another customer through while he fumbled in his pocket for money. I later noticed a dollar had disappeared from my tip jar. FML

Today, as a joke, my friend put my bus money in the vending machine. Not only did the machine not return my money, it wouldn't give me an item in return. FML

Today, at the bank, my 8-year-old son decided to pull out realistic looking toy gun, and scream "FREEZE! Give me all your money!" The dim-witted bank teller pressed the silent alarm, and I was nearly arrested. FML

Today, I went to the vending machine, put in a dollar, and reached down to grab my snack. The slot door wouldn't open, so I pushed it harder. I got my hand in, but the door got stuck again, this time with my hand inside. I tried to push with my other hand. It got stuck too. FML

Today, I went to withdraw 200 dollars. At the ATM, I noticed a suspicious man standing really close to me. I was nervous about entering my pin number, and worried he was looking at my account information. In my panic, I got all the way home before realizing that I'd left the cash in the machine. FML

*Facepalm* Although I do love when kids make adults look stupid (No offense OP I just mean in general) I mean you have to admit it's hilarious, unless it's happening to you.

I agree with #1 And this is really sad I wonder how you start your car in the morning or make your coffee! I find it really said that an adult doesn't know how to work and ATM. How do you normally withdraw money? How to you SURVIVE? (And I agree with #25 also)

Sounds like a knock off FML of the person who had a little boy come open his bathroom stall for him because he didn't realize he was doing it wrong.

I don't mine offending... when a person comes here to FML to declare their retardation, they can expect to be insulted and ridiculed... what else do they want... positive affirmations?

Gotta love it when people come to this site to complain about the fact that they are morons.

LOL. Yeah, what IS more pathetic... that you can't figure out a coffee machine, or that you come here to brazenly and proudly proclaim that you are a stupid idiot?

You went to the bank to get some coffee? Starbucks my friend, no assembly required ;)

doubt that someone would go to the bank just to get coffee. The OP was probably there to deposit something or whatever and wanted some coffee while they were there.
