With the growing popularity of drive-through ATMs I thought it wise to include the procedures to use such machines. As with toilets and everything else, the procedure to follow is different for males and females.
We’ll start with the males. The ladies are welcome to read it as well.

3. Insert card into machine and enter PIN.
4. Enter amount of cash required and withdraw.

Ok, then here is the female procedure. It is not recommended for men to read this in the company of women.

8. Insert card.

Ok, so there you have it. No need to cause unnecessary delays at the ATM any more.

No, this is not my work. I received it from a lady friend not so long ago. Don't hunt me down, I'm just the messenger.
Have a great day out there.

Thank god you're only the messenger!!
Anyway, I'm only guilty of half of those!
I'm a fairly good driver but I have to admit my handbag..tsk..tsk..tsk, it's always a mess inside there but my wallet is impeccably organized though!
Oh, one more thing, I'm very good in memorizing numbers!, especially those security codes or pin numbers!
Highly exaggerated but very funny I thought.
But have to say it does have elements of truth
What it is not saying is that..
1. The woman is having to drive over to husbands work because he FORGOT his wallet.
2. It is actually HIS card because he needs her to get some money out for him.
3. As it is HIS card she has to check for HIS PIN number.
4. Bag with make up thrown in as she hadn't time to put it on before hand ..but wants to look presentable when entering into her husbands work
5. She is still in her work clothes as she was busy baking pies for school fete+making a meal for dear old lady next door as she needs to make sure she gets 1 wholesome meal a day!
Call comes from husband who needs her down tools immediately to take wallet.
6. She has to wake 1 year old up to go with her.. Was having her morning nap!
7. Oh NO! Husband was going to fix the car window.. But forgot about it.. So lady has to get out of the car to go to machine!
What a WOMAN!!!!!
I hope we follow
Are you a practicing defense lawyer?
I received this from a lady and she endorsed it. Besides, we have to hear all day and every day haw stupid we are. If they want to dish it out the will have to eat what is on their plate now and again as well.
The reasons for being at the ATM has never justified the methods or the procedures.
A don't know about following but I was the irate fella in the car behind who got the dirty look. Just because my hand slipped and accidentally jammed the horn butter for a few seconds.
Take your time thinking. Just don't do it while at the ATM.
I can also multitask. For example, I can stand around, drink a brandy and talk crap; all at the same time and I do those three things exceptionally well.
This is exactly what we're talking about. You are undoing Wallops' good work and breaking her case down to nothing.
They suss out what time your going to be there and arrange their day around it
She got confused about why they were honking
With that profile pics all heads will be turning
Hmm, it is a case of beers. but she is a few cars behind you, wanting to draw money to buy the beer. Better hurry up or the off sales will close before she can get there.
The only nodding I'd be doing here is nodding off while in the back of the Q waiting for Butterfly and you to conclude your business at the ATM.
They're probably honking because bless them... They too are receiving calls from their hubbies needing errand done NOW!!! But they also have to pick kids up at set times... bLESS EM!!!
You will have to select your witnesses more carefully. You started off with a reasonable case. Now you run the risk to be held in contempt of court.
After the recent cold weather we have a very pleasant sunny day. A slight breeze but very pleasant in all.
We can multitask without losing our beauty and patience.
Only I don´t really belong in any of the above mentioned categories as I don´t have any kids, not husband, don´t wear any make up, I know where to find my bank card and know the PIN by heart...
Sometimes there maybe some people honking their horns but simply because they find me irresistable.
You started it. You said the real men are at work. So what am I? Am I being punished for bring retired?
I know my pin but not my phone number. People are amazed when I have to consult my phone to give them my number. What the heck, I never phone myself.
Not only do I know my number, but also have to know it in several languages when being asked for it on the phone...
You see, we Women are amazing!
