Re: Re: ATM machines at the supermarket

I can't stand when Mr. J uses the ATM, because he has to stop and slowly read each screen, like he's never seen an ATM before! They're all the same! You swipe/enter your card, enter the pin number, select what you want, and you're done! It's not hard!

I never commented on this before, but this reminded me for some reason, of a time I drove through the drive-through ATM with my husband. Ours gives you the option of English or Spanish after you enter your PIN. I was in a funny mood and I hit "spanish." Boy, did Austin freak out! Each page that came up, he kept thinking I was going to hit the wrong button and all our money would disappear or something! I was laughing so hard! Of course, I just hit the same buttons I always did (that muscle memory comes in handy) but it's not like I couldn't figure out what it said, enough Spanish words looked like their English counterparts.

Ahem, so that wasn't really a rant. It was more like a funny story. Don't you hate it when people tell funny stories instead of ranting?
