Getting your ATM card eaten by the ATM machine.
Yes, that's right, I am a stupid fool. You heard it here folks, straight from the source.
I was in such a hurry last evening to be somewhere that when the machine gave me my money, I grabbed it and drove off. Well, I realized right away what I had done, hit the brakes, and backed up, but it was too late. Those machines don't leave your card hanging out there very long for someone to take (a good thing I realize). So I called the bank to find out if I could get it back. Nope. Since it was not my bank they say the policy is to destroy them. I guess you only get your card back from your own bank. So now I have to go through the terribly inconvenient process of getting a new card and having my various scheduled charges changed to the new check card. Ugh.
Sometimes my own idiocy amazes even me.
The whole ordeal was pretty mentally anguishing. Maybe I can get together a class action law suit and sue the banking industry for not having a less anguishing process to recover one's own ATM card.
