    Is it possible for you to spell possible right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,879 ✭✭✭Coriolanus


    Yes, it is possible.

    Next question?

    Women and Automated Teller Machine Machine's??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    The M in ATM stands for Machine.

    And it takes me about 30 seconds to use an ATM, depending on how good the ATM is. The ones in shops take an eternity to process a transaction.

    I'm a guy but if I see some huffy little f*ck in the queue behind me urging me to move quickly I like to take an especially long time getting my money, perhaps even buying phone credit and adding in an extra mobile number. This is especially fun at lunchtime. Although it can also shorten my lunch break.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,817 ✭✭✭myflipflops


    I'd rather if more women (mainly over 40) realised that when you get to the counter of a shop with the items you want to buy, you will be expected to pay for them.

    Please take out the purse/money/credit card in advance. Diggin your handbag for 2 minutes at this point is pretty annoying for those behind you in the queue.

    Men are as bad.

    A guy in front of me earlier hadn't a fuc*ing clue what he was doing. It's an ATM, you clown, not the controls for a spaceship.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,653 ✭✭✭Ghandee


    Men/Women ANYONE that can't use the self service checkouts at Tesco etc,


    Go to the fcuking tills for Christs sake!


    That is all!

    I don't go to the pass machine, I just raid my husband's wallet.

    Yes that makes me want to kill them, and make sure you stay there after you are finished putting your change away in your huge purse.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭jaffacakesyum


    The amount of people in general who take so long to use an ATM is unreal. It literally takes 30 seconds to use yet people sometimes take 3-5minutes. I know some may be checking their balance but some are just retards


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 688 ✭✭✭maxfresh


    Women when using an ATM machine, prevent the person behind you from knowing your number by deliberately keying in the wrong one. Then pretend to collect your money, and walk away smiling innocently.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    they need to have seperate ATMs for men and women, simples


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Both sexes are responsible for this indeed.

    They're probably paralyzed with fear because of the person seething and muttering under their breath behind them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭LETHAL LADY


    Being a woman I just get very confused by all the buttons and stuff I have yet to break the 2 minute mark. I am planning on taking a crash course soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 662 ✭✭✭fran oconnor


    Hve to say, i find women useless at ATM's. Have talked about this many times with friends and they all agreed, i think they done something on Ray Darcy a few years back, they timed men and women, and women were much slower..

    Maybe if they put pictures of kittens on the buttons it would be easier or made them pink.

    Men only ATMs, love it :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


    Slow people should fcuk off - your shopping, the atm, the bus- seriously you must have just had time to make your breakfast before nightfall.... ¬¬

    There we have it, folks. Debate over.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    Two people are the worst.

    Together I mean, not two specific people like Tony and Sean - that would just be a weird thing for me to post, when you wouldn't know who they were.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,803 ✭✭✭oranbhoy67


    women are worse at ATMs... & also worse at taking forever to pack there crap up at supermarkets & gtfo outta there to let the next person be served.

    ATM Machines and ATF Machines? Good idea.

    I've never noticed women being slower tbh.
    I certainly am not slow personally.
    I've definitely noticed the correlation between age and speed though.
    I always use my laser now anyway, so I don't have to worry about this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


    I like men only things- like sex- its so much easier and less complicated without women
    - you wanna have sex?
    - sure
    - and you won't get all weird if i don't call after?
    - fcuk no.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    The absolute worst thing to do at an ATM is to take money out or perform some other action, then when your card comes out, put it straight back in and get some more money out. Then maybe do it again.

    First of all, you should get all your money out on the first attempt.

    Some times you make a mistake and have to put your card back in to get more money, but if there's a queue then go to the back before using the machine again! :mad:

    THis drives me f@cking berzerk!!!!! It almost comes as a shock to some women (NO, MEN DO NOT DO THIS TOO), like it's the last thing they expected to happen at the counter. Meanwhile, I have already done some basic maths and have a good idea what my lot will be (at least I will be able to hazard a guess if I will need a fiver, tenner or twenty). I have my note at the ready while some wan in front of me realises "oh, i've to pay now? Oh well, like me dig out my purse from the bottom of my bag.....oh wait a second....no...they're my glasses, ok, that's my book, no, that's my diary. Oh look, a lottery ticket from last week. I must check those numbers. Ah found it! How much was it again?
    Ok, let me see......I want to use up these coins if I can..............

    etc, et f@ckin' cetera.

    My solution is a timed trap door in the floor, you have 20 seconds from the time you are told the amount to hand over money to cover it.

    30/40 seconds it took me, i was behind a woman.. (....whoopsie)

    f**k knows what she was doing, she could have been on facebook for all i knew, had to make noises with my feet for her to see there was someone behind her.

    when she saw me it was another minute or so before she left..

    i was just thinking to myself, that women are the same everywhere, as this was far far from any ATM in ireland.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17 Jebs


    The thing is, there used to typing in the husbands pin that they forget their own

    It is "they're", not "there".

    I know, you'd swear they were browsing around a shop or something. Maybe powers could be given to the guards in the same way that they can move on beggers or vagrants etc.

    I think people should have to pay per minute at ATM's. Would speed everything up.

    I think they should remove topping up phones from it as you can do it in stores, at top up points, online and by text so why the hell do you need to hold up ATM's to top up your phone?

    Men can get slower with practice and good technique, but that's probably a subject for the Sex and Sexuality forum.
