Those Little Things that Annoy Me Part 1

I went to the cash machine this morning, and luckily there were only 2 people in the queue in front of me.

Customer 1 - Made his transaction and moved away.

Now in our part of the country this morning the chill factor was akin to being sat stark naked in a wind tunnel, at a Siberian Airline Test center. But luckily there was only one more person, and I'd soon be back in front of the fire with my morning cup of milky coffee.

Customer 2 - Places his card in the ATM.
Customer 2 - Check's his wallet for the Pin Code
Customer 2 - Enters his Pin Code incorrectly
Customer 2 - Turns to me -'I always get it wrong 1st time' he says apologetically
Customer 2 - Re-Enters the Pin Code
Customer 2 - Stares intently at the screen, for about 20 secs, and presses a button

Me - thinks 'Thank F*** for that !'

Customer 2 - Reads the mini-statement that has just emitted from the ATM
Customer 2 - Studies the statement intently, and then looks skywards seemingly calculating what other transactions are still to come off his balance - and how much he will be able to withdraw

Me - thinks 'You have got to be F****n Kiddin !'

Customer 2 - Punches the keyboard again
Customer 2 - Withdraws his card
Customer 2 - Takes his money from the ATM

Me - thinks 'Thank F*** for that !'

Customer 2 - Counts the Money

Me - thinks 'You have got to be F****n Kiddin !'
( If its wrong whats he going to do ? - ask the machine for shortage ??)

Customer 2 - Puts the Money in his wallet

Me - thinks 'Thank F*** for that !'

Customer 2 - Begins the whole process again with another Bank Card

Me - thinks 'You have got to be F****n Kiddin !'

Customer 2 - says to me 'Sorry for being so long'
Me- says 'Oh, it's no problem'
Me - thinks 'Thank F*** for that !'

Me - Realises I've left my wallet in the glove compartment
Me - thinks 'You have got to be F****n Kiddin !'
