ATM Shit

[jazzy_dave]

Well after a good evening last night down the Dover Castle pub this morning after visiting the library to do some “computer buddying” I go to the ATM outside the Co-op shop to check my balance (which was fine) and withdraw £30. My card is returned without a problem , then the machine does what I would describe as a gurgling or wheezing sound, and after a few moments waiting for my money, the machine comes up with the message” Your money has been retained”!! Fuck me I need that for the weekend and to do the electricity key meter. I immediately phoned HSBC on the mobile and it will take 2 -3 working days to get my money back or re-allocated to my account. They have actioned it, but I will have sleepless nights till it has been resolved.I really do not trust banks.

I actually went to Faversham to the branch there but there is nothing more that they can do. Luckily I should have £16 from PayPal tomorrow and an instant PayPal one of nine quid coming in at some point today.

Obviously, or perhaps it isn’t, the ATM decided to break down at the moment it was counting my cash to put through the dispenser. Just my damn fucking luck that it happens to me, especially and perhaps a symptom of, the less than happy meeting with Lorna on Tuesday.

We take shit for granted. A few years back my card had run out and the ATM swallowed the damn thing. I was lucky as I had some cash but it was a tense weekend, luckily no emergencies!
