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 work leaving my girlfriend asleep in my bed. Later she calls me demanding to know how long I've been cheating on her. We don't use condoms but she found several in the bin when she decided to empty it. I had to explain while my colleagues listened that I use them to masturbate. FML

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)

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.
