Annoying ATM's

[Block G Raptor]

really getting annoyed at ATM machines lately. tried to get €20 from an ATM just there and got the usual "please enter a multiple of €50" so decided to take out €100 for later and the feckin' thing gives me 5 feckin €20 note's like WTF why wouldn't it let me take out 20. I reckon its a conspiracy, the ATM was an AIB and my account was BOI are they trying to make me take as much money as possible from Bank of Ireland?

AIB Banklinks are notorious for this sort of thing. They will rarely let you take out anything under €50, hit an Ulster banklink next time, they're usually alright

[Block G Raptor]

Cheers will try that. althought the AIB is nearer and at Lunch-time every second counts

Haha that's hilarious - "after years of abusive finger tapping without so much as a thank you ATMs get their own back on their aggressors". :D


Can ATMs really be programmed that way though? As in to extract as much as possible from rival banks' accounts? Or is Brother Raptor being a little too conspiratorial? One thing Raptor, it said "only multiples of 50", which doesn't necessarily translate to "I've no €20 notes". Still fishy though.

So true. When they actually get in front of it they spend the next 2 minutes digging around in their bag for their purse as if the thought just suddenly occured to them :rolleyes:

Searching for your money!

Back on track...men are just as bad if not worse than ladies at an atm

How so???

[Maz]

As I said above...forgetting pins, then searching their "wallets" to see if its written down or start having a chat with another fella who comes walking by. Very frustrating

[GavinZac]

A woman, accusing men of taking too long rummaging for stuff and chatting excessively? What next, headaches in bed?

[Maz]

Obviously you cant tar all with the same brush. Face facts, there are some men out there who are as bad if not worse in queues, at atms, driving...etc

[SkStu]

just to confirm the Women at ATMs thing is an international problem. It drives me insane. At least have your card ready ffs.

[BohsPartisan]

People with more than one card. I often throw small change at them to get them to hurry. Usually works too.

As opposed to Sligo women like Áine...you'd still take them!!

At the grand aul' age of 21 I have finally got my first ever ATM card :D. Fair well Passbook :(

:eek:

[pól-dcfc]

Speaking of ATMs, who ridiculous is it that my girlfriend can't get a debit card from BoI, even though she is 21, has been an account holder for 5 years, and has never had a penny of debt to her name? Is this common for southern banks? I'm with nationwide and I opened my account when I was 16 and got a debit card straight away.
