What To Do About WOMEN AND ATM’S
By: wtda | 27. Oct 2009
After waiting the other day in line behind a nice lady who couldn’t seem to find her card for about 15 minutes, I thought “wouldn’t it be nice if they had separate lanes for different genders…” The following article was not written by WTDA. It is anonymous and you can find it all over the web. We thought it worth posting as we had to have our sides stitched up after reading it.
Please read.
A new sign in the Bank Lobby reads:
“Please note that this Bank is installing new Drive-through ATM machines enabling customers to withdraw cash without leaving their vehicles. Customers using this new facility are requested to use the procedures outlined below when accessing their accounts.”
After months of careful research, MALE and FEMALE procedures have been developed.
Please follow the appropriate steps for your gender:

1. Drive up to the cash machine.
2. Put down your car window.
3. Insert card into machine and enter PIN.
4. Enter amount of cash required and withdraw.
5. Retrieve card, cash and receipt.
6. Put window up.
7. Drive off.
FEMALE PROCEDURE
1. Drive up to cash machine.
2. Reverse and back up the required amount to align car window with the machine.
3. Set parking brake, put the window down.
4. Find handbag, remove all contents on to passenger seat to locate card.
5. Tell person on cell phone you will call them back and hang up.
6. Attempt to insert card into machine.

20. Reverse back to cash machine.
21. Retrieve card.

23. Give dirty look to irate male driver waiting behind you.
24. Restart stalled engine and pull off.
25. Redial person on cell phone.
26. Drive for 2 to 3 miles.
27. Release Parking Brake.
This is so true for most women.
I think so Andrew, it's funny that there haven't been any comments from the ladies denying it either.
i don't know how many dirty looks i got from women who do this. it takes less than a min to get my money.
ok. here's a comment.
i definitely am not that girl that does that. i am well prepared before i go through the drive through and more like the male procedure. but, as of late, neither applies to me now as I go into the bank to deposit/get money. and if you doubt this about me, we can take a ride together through my banking procedure. but i definitely do know some girls that fall into that category and i find it very amusing sometimes to watch this unfold.
I can see a man finding the humor in something like this, however, it's not really that funny.
I'm obviously the exception to the rule, since I take less than 30 seconds at an ATM. And I am only pointing this out because I feel I have to defend myself.
What is with the nitpicking of women lately? I understand it's a male driven site, but lately it seems that you're less appreciative and more resentful towards us.
geez guys, I thought we were friends
Oh come here… let me give you a hug… that's better. We love you, we really do.
that didn't help Tim… come on
Ok
Now I'm not sure if that was genuine!
ay yi yi…I guess I'll still take it
We are trying to get you ladies to make a valuable contribution in the form or textual gold to the arbitrators of the site whattodoabout.com
So please channel that frustration into an article
ahh, lol
oh it was genuine… I just figured you wouldn't think it was, ha
so i hear it's cool to be a chauvinist?
Did you hear that here? If so I am pretty sure it was wtdatim….just saying.
Oh it's TOTALLY cool! I have decided to be a female chauvinist 33% of the time, a male chauvinist 33% of the time and the remaining third I will leave to chance as to what I am a chauvinist about… I think today I am falling into that remaining third and I am a wahalligan chauvinist
so true. my mum does that
so true. my mum does that
