Today, I went to an ATM intending to withdraw $150. I approached the machine, inserted my card, typed in my pin and followed the prompts. When my card came out, I removed it, put it in my pocket and drove off. FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

Hi guys, OP here. To clarify, it wasn't a drive through ATM, I walked back to the car before the money came out. Also to those asking how I managed to do such a careless thing - I had just had a stressful day at work on the closing shift so my mind wasn't with it. I'm lucky I have a loving family that can support me until my next pay day. And I hope I just hope the money ended up in hands that needed it more than myself.

I swear. I wish I had been that person who came into the ATM after you.

You two are evil. I would chase that person down and make sure they got their money!

I'm evil? Bitch, I'd be the modern Robin Hood! If you can afford to drive through an ATM, I can feed all the hungry ants in the world with the honey I'll buy with your cash.

I personally would have gone in the bank and returned it and advised them to see who withdrew it. That's just me.

Robin Hood stole from the government and gave to the poor. not from the rich. if you're going to be Robin Hood then do it right.

Shit happens. I had a similar situation, only it was my card I left behind. It's a pretty common mistake. Sorry OP.

$150, though?

I also did back whenSTM would swallow your card if it didn't get a response in a timely manner. I forgot to get the card back and left. Upon return minutes later I found the machine ate my card.

Don't they suck the card back in if it's not taken? Hopefully you realized quick enough to call and shut the card off.

I agree. I left 300 in one once... I may or may not have been intoxicated. I called the banks and everything and about two weeks latter they put the money back in my account.

Thanks for the money! Should have been a wee bit more careful! I now have some serious beer money.

Karma will reward you greatly because the next person will be very happy. We know it wasn't an accident, you're just a very kind person and we all love you for it. Thank you OP

Happened to me once when I was stressed out before an exam. Karma did nothing for me: I failed.

She didn't do it on purpose, so it's not like she was doing a charitable act that karma will reward her for.

Rawrshi | 25

#6206955 - Thursday 19 February 2015 19:12

30 - You realize intentionally doing a kind act just for karma doesn't work since the very act of doing something just to get something in return is considered selfish?

In the UK, if you dont remove the money within a minute or so, the machine takes back in the cash and your account is recredited

#6206875 - Thursday 19 February 2015 17:53

This may be true but many drive in ATMs have cars waiting in line back to back. Someone got that money for sure.

#6206909 - Thursday 19 February 2015 18:32

#25 I live where op does. I'd nerver seen or heard of a drive though ATM until I visited Phoenix Arizona last year. They kinda blew my mind as silly as it sounds. BUT I agree in few minutes good chance the cash has been snapped up.

valalvax | 13

#6207018 - Thursday 19 February 2015 19:46

The op said they drove past, chances are it was a drive up atm

#6207043 - Thursday 19 February 2015 20:11

#53 like said I live in the exact same place as op. 'South Australia' May seem vauge to foreigners but trust me it's a whole state and our population would make most of the world laugh. Unless Adelaide (our capital) has very recently had some huge upgrades we do not have drive through ATM machines.
