ATM 1 : debit card 0

December 22nd, 2007 at 04:30 am

Saving log - $5
Spending log - $1.19 coffee + $5 lunch

Grrrr. My WaMu ATM closest to my house ate my debit card. For awhile it looked just close enough in the slot so that I thought I could fish it out. I tried a pencil, my keys, my PDA stylus, other plastic cards (carefully) and combinations of each. Nothing.

So I did what I thought was a radical step - I jammed it in further. I figured that:

I didn't want anyone else to be able to somehow dig out my card and use it.

I wanted to break it so that other people literally couldn't use the machine.

That the broken machine would generate enough complaints so somebody would come down and at least put an "out of order" sign.

My plan is to go down tomorrow morning and either get cash, or better, cash and my rescued card. I figure that I'll have to get a new one. Grrr!

    Hey if you had your dividend cut from 56 cents to 15 you'd be hungry for plastic too. Wamu's had a hard month and is just trying to reclaim some assets and capital. :-)
