Nice moment today...ATM related

[jojothemonkey69]

worst fail ive seen on these forums so far! LMAO!

However good job OP, i certainly would be greatful if someone returned my cash that i forgot or dropped

It was a genuine joke

I would have wanted to keep it, but realistically I probably would have also done the same and given it back to them. Nice one.

Yes they may well do, but it's use was unheard of in everyday English until fairly recently. 15-20 years ago if you said ATM to me I wouldn't even know what you were talking about. Were you even in the UK back then?

I was just about in the country then - however I don't see what relevance this has? Though maybe you're implying that my lack of English language skill may have had me under the perception that, "an ATM" was not the correct way to call such a machine?

The Brits did come up with their own version; "hole in the wall" or "cash machine" - which are both perfectly valid terms and what makes the UK and the English language so quaint.

I don't know why you took exception to my comment - I was merely trying to help with the edification of the forum populace!

I think my Mum owes Karma one after she left her handbag (Passports, credit cards, keys, phone, e-reader etc.) in a NYC taxi a few years ago. The taxi driver drove all the way back to the hotel expecting no fare to give it back (cue my Dad emptying his wallet at him).

I found a tenner on the floor in the pub the other day and handed it in behind the bar. A tenner isn't a life changing amount of cash but a bag full of money...name your price!

No way on earth would i hand a tenner to a guy working in a pub that is just as likely to be as corrupt as me and thinking "cha-ching free tenner"

Losing money like that is just an acceptable loss to me, Its very different if its a whole purse/wallet or the ATM type incident, pub floor .. no haha

I'm with you on this one. I wouldn't hand in money found on a shop floor or pub floor if it were that small.
