Girls and ATM machines... WTF are ye doing??

tommmy1979

I nearly froze to death at an ATM machine last night while waiting...

Valmont

I have contemplated murder a couple of times whilst waiting on ridiculously slow people at ATM's. What are they doing beside checking their balance or withdrawing cash? I notice that the slow ones are both men and women.

Silly question.

They are checking out their figures!

I cant STAND people who take ages at atm machines. You'd be standing there after ten minutes thinking 'thank god they're finally done!' when they take the card out and put it back in again for a different transaction!! How can these people be so oblivious to a line of five people standing behind them tutting i dont know.

towel401

it's because they're girls they don't quite know how to shove it in

Dudess

There are guys who take forever at the ATM machine too - anyone who does it when there's a queue behind them is an inconsiderate ****.

Tiesto

worse is when there is a queue for the ticket machine for the Luas.. and then once they get to the machine, they stand there trying to find change..
WHY DIDNT YOU DO THAT IN THE QUEUE!!

Also, an absolute tonne of those ATM machines are ridiculously slow. How can it be that damn difficult to make an ATM machine that doesn't whirr strangely and shake for 2 minutes before handing out your money?
And not only that, they have actually added more things to make the whole transaction longer.
You can top up your phone through the things, check your balance, get things printed, request calls, change your pin...
Recently they started asking me if I wanted to use the ATM machine in English or as gaeilge.
If they didn't add all of the superflous other options and just gave me a place to request money then the frigging thing wouldn't need a frigging language at all would it?

Dont get me started on wimmins at the checkout - they wait till its all packed away and only then do they fish out a multi-flapped wallet/purse contraption, take an age as they fish about for (cash please make it be cash!)....























....a fecking credit card.

Another 2 mins wasted.

[Jackass]

Thank you OP!!! First of all, it's 90% of the time it's women who stand there for ages with no idea what they're doing, and once you learn to hate women ATM users as much as me, you then start to notice other things...like the next time you see a que for an ATM, what percentage are women? Do they just take €20 at a time and then come back in half an hour and start to figure out how to work the machiene again?

Lollipops23

it's not just women that take forever!!i remember one particular episode at Dublin airport, this middle aged businessman dude took at least 10mins to do ONE transaction!i nearly missed my plane:(

i just don't get what they could be doing that takes so long....

Sharpshooter

What annoys me more than the waiting for these people to finally finish at the ATM ,is when people insist on standing really close behind me when I am withdrawing cash.
I do tend to feel uneasy and there is probably no threat there ,but I do feel it would be rude of me to ask them to back off a bit.

Drives me nuts too, but it's even worse to be working on the checkout and the people in the queue are giving ME filthy looks! As if somehow it's my fault? Bad enough I have to be nice and polite to the auld bag who hands me a note and then just when I'm handing back the change decides 'NO wait I have change!' so I have to hand back the note, and then wait while she (in fairness it usually is women) slowly, sooo slowly counts out the little fiddly coppers. AAARG!

Ok I feel better now ha ha

UnderpantsGnome

ATM machine? Automated teller machine machine?

Oops!

Maybe the girls were having problems entering their personalised identification number numbers into the automated teller machine machine.

Or maybe

Phase 1: Enter ATM card

Phase 2: ???

Phase 3: Profit!

Saw one today. She stood idle while the groceries were scanned. Then opened her purse to count out the exact change, waited for her receipt and, only then, started to pack her groceries. Multitaskers my ash

TPD

I know there are men who are slow at machines and tills, but be fair - It's mostly women. I really cant understand why people don't have their money ready when they get to the checkout, I mean they're standing in line doing nothing up till that point. Grr

ooooh don't get me started on debit and credit cards!!!! I hate them! Use them to buy things online, do NOT use them to buy things in shops and especially supermarkets!!!!

There is nothing more galling than standing behind somebody who has a massive trolley full of shopping, counting down the seconds numbed with boredom as all their stuff is packed away. Then when you think it might just possibly be your turn, the (have to admit it is usually a woman) person takes out their bag, roots around for their purse, finds their purse, and i'm thinking 'please let it not be a f*cking card' and she pulls out a card!

Cue another five minutes where she will invariably put the pin number in wrong, have to start again, then we all stand there while the card machine takes a good 5-10 minutes to work. oooh how i hate seeing a card!

Why can't people have a bit of consideration and just take the fcking cash out! What good does a debit card do anyone - only severely frustrate shoppers beside you, and make you spend more money than you think you are.

i prefer that tbh. one line for two machines will move twice as fast as two lines and you eliminate the possibility that your line has all the slow people in it so you end up standing behind the slow guy while the people in the other line whiz by

(* They = the man = them = themmmm)

They are much slower now than before the introduction of chip cards, there never used to be a 20+ second delay between entering pin and showing the main menu.

"starting application" WHY? Is the machine waiting until it has read my card to make sure I want to make a banking transaction rather than design a fukking skyscraper on it's CAD program?

As for the slow payers, don't get me started. Every day I get them on the bus, it can often take longer to deal with one of these morons than ten regular passengers. Pure selfishness, that is all it is. The concept that their actions may impact on other people is completely alien to them, if they are not in a rush then obviously nobody else is either.

Whether it's getting out their change in tesco or doing their make up at atms, it's alwasy the feckin' women.:mad::mad:

It is not! I'm a woman and this is my absolutely top pet peeve! I ahve contemplated murder standing in some queues at atms behind MEN and women. I always have the exact money ready when I'm at the till. I am ALWAYS conscious of people behind me.

When I am at an atm machine, I pride myself on doing it as fast as possible, and I must admit I sigh really loudly when I am behind a particularly slow person. But seriously you would wonder what on earth some people are doing at atm machines. I usually make sure I have a magazine to read with me in a queue now so I dont burst with frustration

I was stuck behind some ****ing cretin in a centra the other day at the ATM. He literally stood there for about 10 mins just sliding the card in and out, pressing a few buttons, putting the card back in, press some buttons, doo de doo, he doesnt care that other people are waiting, la da dee slide the card in again, doo de doo, press some buttons etc etc.
Why is it every time i use an ATM, the idiot in front of me acts like theyve never even seen a ****ing atm in their lives??

Hah, men would completely fall apart if it wasn't for women. Talk to me when men EVER move out of their mammy's house's. I'm 24 and every woman I know my age is renting her own place, every man I know my age still lives with his mammy. Men just can't seem to fend for themselves out in the big bad world. If i ever have a son i'll kick him out the door at 18.

No I was just laughing at the irony, as any man I know in his mid twenties depends on his mammy AKA a woman, to do so much for him.

Oh jesus it's always a woman -

Queue,
Get to front of queue,
Start going through handbag which is normally the size of a binbag,
5mins later locate purse,
5mins later locate card,
Realise it's xtravision card,
5 mins later find proper card,
Pin stored in mobile phone,
5 mins later find phone in handbag,
Finally check balance then withdraw €20

What are you doing woman - why are you always the same stupid bint in tesco/petrol station/post office who waits until the transaction is over before deciding to start looking for your purse/pack shopping. Sometimes when the person on the till is scanning your groceries I feel like telling you that the goods will have to be paid for and that they are allowed to be packed after being scanned!!!!

You can't say that. Why should I rush for everyone elses sake? If I have to check my balance, check my balance and withdraw cash. Why should I not do any of these because ye are whining?

Anyone who has a full shopping trolley of groceries while there's a queue behind them is an inconsiderate ****.

See? Well I don't have a big problem with people using the service.

I have more of a problem with people whining about the smallest of things, if simple every day tasks like this pisses people off so much, they need medical help.

Old people..they're the ones who annoy me most of all...
I'm telling you..I'm fcuking jinxed when it comes to atms/shops/petrol stations/cinema/car parks etc etc.
I go to shop checkout...old dear in front of me getting a few things..she then decides to spent 10 minutes counting all the change of her pocket ignoring the big bloody €50 in her other hand. The number of times this has ,....actually fcukit..this happens to me every day without fail...no matter where I go..it's like God or Satan is watching my every move and as soon as I stop at a shop they conjure up the slowest most fcuking annoying old person in the world to stand in the queue before me and no one else, to drive me mad....aaarrghghghghghghgh...:mad:
Why God..why Satan...surely if I had pissed God off then Satan would step in and make the old wun have a heart attack or something..but NO..the 2 of them are in cahoots against me.
