Two more dumb questions

Ok, Here goes. Question !: When you go to an ATM do you count your withdrawl
or just shove it into your pocket and go?

Question 2: When your house vacuum is ready for a new bag, do you just toss it out or do you autopsy it first, in case your wife has missplaced/lost her diamond ring or some such thing? PS (I've got to get off the gin for awhile)

Me? No on #1 and Yes on #2 ( Always find interesting things and a lot of leggo)

No on both counts. I used to count the ATM cash but it was never wrong. We have a central vaccum system. That bag is huge and way too gross to take apart.

Vacuum? That's what the illegal is for.

Actually, I now have hardwood floors.

1. Yes, I have an inherent distrust of the automated...they do make mistakes

2. No, if we're missing something (valuable) maybe, otherwise, pickin' through the trash just is not my thing.

Yes, no.

WRT #1, I had a roommate get screwed out of $60 at an ATM once. I once got $200 out of an ATM, but instead of giving me 10 $20 bills, I got 8, $20 bills and a $100 Bill.

1. Don't use ATMs. If I need cash I get it from the grocery store where there's never a charge.

2. Vac bag just gets tossed. Did tear one apart once when my daughter was sure some tiny part of something got sucked up. It wasn't in there.

No on both counts, but I did get an extra $20 once from an ATM. Two bills were stuck together.

When your wife is out and you're changing jets in your Amal carb on the coffee table while watching TV, that's where your jets are goin' to end up. So get practicing. Just put on rubber gloves and go to it. Everybody has the same stuff. Mainly: Dog hair and leggo, nothing to gross, and of course your carb jets.

Well it's all getting sucked up.. All the important stuff your wife/mate lost and all
the worthless stuff you dropped on the floor that you want back.

I have never used an ATM (successfully). The one time I wanted my card had expired from non-useage (they said after six months it gets cancelled). I'm fortunate to have a private ATM at work.

I haven't used an ATM for at least 8-10 years. I use a bagless cyclonic vac, but I look at what I dump in the trash can, although I can't ever remember digging through it for anything.

Yes. No.

Went to an ATM years ago and instead of $20's, it spit out $5's. Had to get $5's to even up the withdrawal.

1. No. If its wrong you can't do anything about it in front of the teller machine... If it does happen you can raise a claim with your bank. They'll investigate the claim and refund your money when/if the machine doesn't balance.

2. Sometimes. Depends on what I observed during vaccuming.

1) Like I have money in my account?

2) She hasn't let me run a vac since I cleaned up sparks that came out of the wood stove and the bag caught fire......
