Nope, never.

My favorite story of ATMs was from the 1980s and they were fairly new. My bank always printed out the account balance on the receipt. Mine was always pitiful low back then so I just shredded it and went on about my business. One day there was someone else's receipt in the tray. I looked out of curiosity and the balance was like $32,000 and that was how much I paid for my house I was paying a 20 year mortgage on (12.5% bargain rate). I carefully folded that receipt in half and put it in my wallet. That was the era long before cell phones. I finally used that receipt to write my phone number on to give to some chick I met at a bar. I never told her it was not my account! ;)

That's hilarious!

If she called I would pick her up for a date in a rusted out Fiero, even if I had to borrow one.

Wasn’t a Fiero mostly plastic? :D

I only had one car back then. My 1974 914 2.0 that I bought new. It was paid for by then, so it was cheap to own. I was paying the mortgage on my bachelor pad house. Ah the good ol days before AIDS, Hepatitis and the other new horrors.

Nope, but I did pull up to an ATM once and on the screen it said "would you like to make another transaction". I was a nice guy and declined. I believe I tossed the card that popped out in the nearest mail box.
