Drive Through ATMs - An Open Letter
To the Woman Who Decided She'd Walk Up to the Drive-Through ATM,
Hello. You don't know me and I don't know you. But today, you decided that you would walk up to the drive-through ATM at the bank, and use it on foot. Now, I understand that the bank location we were at does not have an ATM for pedestrians, and that you may not have wanted to go inside and talk to a teller. However, I saw you walk back to your car, get in, and drive away.
What made you decide to use the ATM on foot instead of driving your car around and going through the drive-through lane? Do you have trouble getting close enough to the machine when you pull through, and figured it would be easier just to park and walk? Were you afraid you'd be wasting gas driving around the extra 50 feet from the parking lot to the entrance to the drive-through? Or were you trying to justify your walk from car to machine and back again as your "exercise" for the day?
Any way you swing it, it's just plain odd to use the drive-through ATM on foot. And from the way that pickup truck driver was frowning at you as he nearly ran you over, it may be a safety hazard, too.
Please use your car next time...if for no other reason than you'll find it less likely for your picture to end up on the internet when you are acting like a normal human being.
Sincerely,
A "concerned" bank customer

Awesome!
(Maybe her windows don't roll down)
(Or maybe she's the person at the amusement park that tells you to keep your hands inside the rollercoaster AT ALL TIMES)
hmm...how odd people are. i wonder if she uses a drive thru at a fastfood chain the same way?
Bevester - It's not a new development here, but some people still don't seem to realize they exist. In terms of speed, it beats going through the drive-through teller window, or even worse, going inside the bank and waiting in line for a teller face-to-face. Of course, it's just one more case where we sacrifice active lifestyles for the sake of convenience, helping once again to make the USA one of the most obese nations in the world.
That is hilarious - I think you should have walked up behind her, hands in "I'm holding my imaginary steering wheel" position, and pretended to toot your horn.
I've walked up and used a drive-through ATM before, but never when I actually had my car with me. I think that's the weird part. One thing I know is that it's next to impossible for me to use one of those ATMs when I'm suffering from lower back pain. It's something with the stretching and reaching motion. Maybe that's what's going on here.
Maybe she had just robbed the actual inhabitant of the car and was using their ATM card and didn't realize where the car was till she hit the unlock button and the lights flashed as she was making her get away. And you watched it all happen. That poor person that was robbed and carjacked could have been saved by you.
The second button really makes or breaks the shirt (either you get this or you don't).
This had me creased thanks for posting it.
