Cash Machines for Shortarses
Last weekend I was in my hometown to attend a family wedding and needed some cash. Stopping at a petrol station that had a cash machine evidently installed for the benefit of minors and adults at or below 4 feet tall, I hit what I thought was the 'Other Amount' button. Because I'm normal-sized for a mid-30's bloke, the indicated button actually turned out to be the one to withdraw £100, which the machine gave me in full.

Only thing was, I only had about £75 left to withdraw overdraft included and my bank, like all of them, just loooves to hit the unsuspecting with ridiculously disproportionate charges. Fuck.

Fortunately, a friend of mine in my hometown banks with the same firm as me and was able to make an instant transfer to my account about an hour later to make sure I didn't stay over-limit.

Let them try to hit me with charges for that. Let them just fucking try.

I too
Find this insanely annoying, as a 6'3" person I'm not exactly a freak, yet I have unbelievable trouble seeing the screen on some cash machines. I end up craning my neck down, bending my knees and squatting slightly, it must look like I'm about to crimp off in front of the cash machine. My thought was that it must be to make them wheelchair-accessible.

Ah yeah...
...never thought of that. How very un-PC of me - no change there then :)

Those cunts in wheelchairs ruin it for all of us.
