Never, ever, ever, even think about taking money out an ATM in the midst of a 123MPH gale, because - wooooossshhhh!!!

Wooooossshhhh!!!, if you don't know, is the sound of money going down Dundyvan Street at 123MPH.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


I mean... That sucks.

Ouch.

I hope this isn't a many-part series.

Wow, Darrin, I'm sorry to hear that.

You should draw more attention to this and get banks to install windshields in all outdoor ATMs.

Oh shit.

Similar thing happened to me at the bank a few weeks ago with my paycheck at the drive-through teller. Fortunately I was able to retrieve it, though.

Hope you didn't lose too much money.

Once when I was in DC, I got up on sunday, meaning to buy the Times and the Post and sit outside a coffee shop and digest the world's happenings. Got $50 out of the ATM. Walked into the coffee shop. Patted my pockets for the money. No money. Lady comes inside and said "Sir, you were ahead of me at the ATM, and you left your money in the slot."

Moral of this story. Mother Nature is a cruel bitch, but sometimes humans'll surprise you.

Washington Times? You Moonie.

Unless you meant NYT, then disregard the slur above.

Another moral would be to never use the ATM in front of me, cause I'd had fun on your dime.

I've washed checks before. That's always a nice call to request another one since you never check your pockets before laundering.

There is only one "Times" the one published by the Sulzberger Clan, of New York. You know, The Grey Lady, The Paper of Record, THE FUCKING TIMES, MAN!?!


I guess it is nice to have friends that know you this well, but why you gotta put me under the bus, G?

They hand out the Washington Times at Chick-Fil-A here. I never take it unless I'm planning on cleaning windows.

bear in mind that this is only part 1 of learning from Darrin's stupidity.

If Part II is "Look both ways before chasing cash into traffic", I sure hope there is an instructional video.

Luckily I was only getting £10 out for my lunch rather than taking my wages out. Actually I've never been happier to loss £10, the more I think about it the funnier it becomes.

There's severe gales splitting oak trees in two and sending cars tumbling down the street like dice and here's me a) Going outside to get money out and b) thinking "hey, it's raining masonry but I'm sure a small palm sized piece of paper will be weighty enough to withstand the elements".

I'd rather have an ATM installed in my car.

Awesome.

Be safe, Darrin.

you'd still have to pay the $1.50 "service" charge.

The wonderful thing about laughing at oneself is there is always someone laughing with you.

Pretty much, you have to laugh at yourself, but if you look at it that way, it takes the self deprecation aspect away. That's what I tell myself anyway, because damnit, I do a lot of stupid things.

lets not get off topic here....

you sayin gthere is free money somewhere on Dundyvan Street??????

That sucks.

i really wasn't laughing at myself or anything else when i took a spill down my front steps the other day and bruised my ass and got a big gash on the palm of my hand. btw, that is probably the worst place to have a cut.

<=== hasn't paid for "The Times" since Eugene Maleska retired.

You're not down with the holocast was payback for killing Jesus?

Scary how connected they are with the first family

I don't know, you could've cut your ass and bruised your palm...that combo isn't so hot either
