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 alrightQuote:

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.
yip very easily too.Quote:

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:Quote:

A woman, accusing men of taking too long rummaging for stuff and chatting excessively? What next, headaches in bed?
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
just to confirm the Women at ATMs thing is an international problem. It drives me insane. At least have your card ready ffs.
Just cos Longford women look like men, doesn't mean it's actually a man at the ATM;)Quote:

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

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.
