From my "Too Stupid to Live" file...

The latest entry: Every week I take some money out of the ATM for my lesson, meals and whatever else. Today I drive up to the bank ATM, and it tells me my PIN is incorrect, but only after trying to select the kind of transaction. What kind of weird interface is this? But I digress...

So, "no problem", I think. "This machine is sometimes on the fritz; I'll use the one inside." I go inside, same reaction from the machine. There weren't many people inside, so I go to the first teller and ask him what could have happened, since I never changed my PIN.

The manager overhears, looks over his shoulder at me and says, "that's your credit card." "You dumb shit," she didn't say.

I did a similar thing, tho I caught it myself eventually. I have 2 gold cards from the same credit union. One is my check card and one is against our home equity LOC account. They don't look at all alike, but they're both gold and have the logo of the credit union on them, so there ya go.

When I grabbed the wrong one, it was more annoying than anything. Especially since I'd just taken the card, not my whole wallet. (This was at work and I was going across the street to use the money machine.) Anyway, you're in good company. That is, if you consider me to be good company (she asks as she checks for stuff in her teeth and sniffs for offending odors upon her person...)
