I'll admit the I've done thousands of dumb things throughout my life but yesterday's takes the cake.
I went to a local ATM to withdraw $300. The sky was looking angry and I was in a bit of a rush. Did the usual thing at the ATM, removed my card, took the receipt but LEFT THE f**kING MONEY IN THE MACHINE!!!!!!
I didn't realise this had happened until a few hours later. I immediately rang the CBA who took details of my identity, transaction, blah, blah, blah. The person said that the ATM sucks the money back into the machine after about 30 seconds and it would take up to 21 days for a refund to be processed as long as nobody else snatched up the money. I was also given an investigation number.
From my recollection, nobody else was anywhere near the ATM at the time. It was starting to rain and the ATM is located in a side street without any overhead cover. Also the CBA person said that there would be CCTV footage at that ATM.
Personally, I don't go walking past ATMs to see if there's any money hanging out of them so this time, I might consider myself lucky that the money will be reimbursed.
WHAT A DUMB merkin!!!
