Life / why do People in Poland speak so quietly? [23]
I used a drive through ATM once in the States. The driver in front of me had to finish their conversation on the cell phone first. Then the driver realised that they had stopped too far way to get their card in so had ro reverse a bit and drive forwards again. Then the cell phone went off again so they answered that for a while. Then it was time to rummage through the purse (handbag) to find the wallet (purse). Then they had to find the card. Next it became obvious that the pin number was not working so there followed another delving into the purse looking for the scrap of paper where the number that should not be written down had been written down. Eventually the transaction was completed only for the cell phone to go off again allowing time for the driver (who was by now vaguely aware of the queue of cars behind) for one hasty 'I'll call you back ". It would have been quicker to park up and use the normal ATM;)
Did I say it was a woman driver?
