Has anyone else ever absent-mindedly thanked a cash machine?
...or is that particular idiocy reserved solely for me. And yes, I was stone cold sober I'm sad to say.

That'll be me
Done that far too many times, it's worse when there's a queue behind.

I have a friend who *always* says 'thank-you' to ATMs
But she's a bit mental anyway.

Ah
I see you have a rather bad case of "British". May I suggest at least a week in the Middle East supporting the wrong side; that should sort your manners out.

Nope...
I've thanked Israeli cash mashines too :(

They never say 'you're welcome' either, the bastards

on to the cash just that little bit tighter ;)

.
two guys I was at school with went to a cash machine one day. neither of them were particulalrly bright.

guy 1 takes his cash out and says to guy 2 "I wanted a statement"
guy 2 replies: "you need to ask it for one"
guy 1 leans close up to the screen of the ATM and says "can I have a statement please?"

I feel so glad
That not only am I not alone, but there's whole other levels of folly I've yet to discover. Oh, and thank christ there was no queue.

Run back after 20 seconds with heart in mouth
