Females and the Bank Machine:

Ok this is more of a rant than anything.

Has anybody else ever noticed when you want to get on the ATM to just withdraw a quick amount of money, you're usually held up for 10 - 15 mins with an old lady or a woman with a purse taking forever?

Example of the day:

Went to the Bank Machine to withdraw 60 bucks. A lady as normal gets on the machine before I do and stands there.... punches in her code, starts dabbling around in her purse.... then the time runs out and she enters again her password.... eventually she get to the point where she can deposit her money. She enters her amount, confirms it, and then the machine is now opened up and flashing for her to deposit her envelope of money to continue.

As this is occurring, then she decides to grab the envelop and then reaches back into her purse to get her money, then I can hear and slightly see her counting each bill in a very slow fashion. Then her deposit time runs out and they say thank you for your services.

Then she puts her card back in, enters her key and does it all over again.... then starts to count her money again as the machine and everybody else waits for her to get done.

She ends up having to repeat her steps three times before she actually deposits.

Finally after 10-15 mins of waiting for my life to end, she's done, she grabs her card and statement. Then she stays at the machine for another 2 mins as she starts to slowly put her stuff back into her purse, make sure everything is all there in order and then finally strolls away.

Like WTF people!? Why can't people just get all that crap ready before hand? Why can't they count all this sh*t before they leave home or their previous destination? Then when they get to the machine, you enter your pin, put in your amount, and then only spend maybe 10 seconds getting your money and throwing it into the envelope and deposit?

Is it too complicated or something?

Normally I wouldn't complain too much, but after so many times being stuck behind one woman and her purse of abyss and only having one machine available at the time.... WTF?

Does anybody else experience this or is it just my own luck? How long does it take you to do what you need with a bank machine?

Myself.. no matter what it is, I'm never there any longer then maybe 1min 15 seconds give or take.... NOT 10 or 15 MINUTES!
