I give up.
Who knows how to use the vacuum tube things at the bank?
I ask because I have no idea. Do people just inherently know how they work and I’m just missing that bit of information? I mean, I’m sure it could’ve been handed out after they dished out ADHD to folks in that place wherever they hand out all the stuff you’ll have for life. So while everyone else got knowledge about using the vacuum tube things, I was wandering off to look at all the shiny stuff.
Anyway, I ask because I’m tired of going to the drive-up at the bank and seeing two lines of cars—one that’s right next to the teller window so you just use that drawer-slot thing and another that requires either using the ATM or the vacuum-slot-thing. There’ll be five cars in the close line and one car in the ATM/slot line.
You know, I’d like to pick the ATM/slot line and be able to use it.
I tried it once. I drove up, waited for the car in front of me to drive off, then pulled right up and started looking for the vacuum tube thing. I couldn’t find it. I mean, I know it was there, I’d seen the canister in the hand of the person before me. But I couldn’t find it. I broke out into a pressured sweat and wondered when the teller would start talking over the tiny hidden speaker.
Still couldn’t find it.
Finally, I quickly reached into my wallet and… used the ATM.

You know I too have always wondered how those things work. Just today I was inside the bank looking out the window and I thought to myself…I am 27 years old, have been going to the bank on my own for over a decade, and I still don’t have a fucking clue how that thing works. Am I not part of the bank club yet or something? Did I miss the g-d damn seminar? Is this not offered on account holders that hover too close to zero for the majority of the year? What the fuck?!?
Just thought I would let you know you are not alone…not that I am at all surprised that we have similar thoughts. Scary.
