has an ATM machine ever given you the wrong amount of $$?

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?

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.
