I wanted to write a post about a recent conversation I had with a dumbass, but found that drawing it out was a much better way of conveying the experience.

I’m going to add this A.T.M. machine conversation to my ever-growing list of crappy moments. That I even have a list makes me think I’m destined for a lifetime of unpleasant experiences–which, in turn, means I will have blogging material until I die. I don’t know if that’s a good thing for any of you, though, because most of my experiences seem to involve doodoo. I’m pretty sure this one did as well. If the guy didn’t see the problem with saying “A.T.M. machine,” then I’ll bet he was also drinking a diarrhea latte and enjoyed it.

  1. Awesomeness :)I live with someone like this. I want to beat them about the head and upper torso repeatedly on a rgular basis. Instead I retreat to my room and find comfort in my hobbies.

  2. Forget it, Sylvia. I’ve had similar conversations with those that use the term “PIN number” and they just don’t get it.By the way, are you sure he wasn’t referring to some sort of machine that performs that sex act also referred to as “ATM”? 

  3. hahahahahahaha my parents and i have similar conversations. i just gave up trying to correct them. its not worth the frustration.

  4. I would’ve told him to say it out loud.”Automated Teller Machine Machine.” Then laughed out loud and asked him to repeat it again. And again, until he got the point… and then the death glare.

  5. hahahaha. Douchenozzle. You should piss off a rooster by plucking a few feathers off of it and throw it in his pants, then quickly tighten his belt. Also, just to make sure the rooster doesn’t get out, get a zip-tie and zip-tie his belt so he can’t unfasten it. After doing all of that, yell, “I THOUGHT YOU’D LIKE A BIG ROOSTER TO COMPENSATE FOR THE TINY ROOSTER IN YOUR PANTS ASSHOLE!”

  6. it’s just like saying PIN number. PIN means personal identification NUMBER, so when ppl say PIN number it’s redundant. i get annoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyed when ppl say that AND ATM machine LOOOOOOOL.

  7. Hahaha… he must enjoy seeing a rise out of you.    Funny stuff.However, sometimes an acronym such as PIN could be vague when used in a conversation.  For example… “Damnit, I forgot my PIN!”  Some people might take it as you possibly forgetting a safety pin, bobby pin, etc.  Thus, by saying “PIN number” the context becomes instantly clear.  As for ATM, I don’t really think you can make a mistake as to the context for that particular acronym.  Thus, there isn’t much of an excuse for that one. 

  8. so he’s just smiling and laughing the whole time? Haha, that’s funny. Seriously though, you understood what he meant, so there’s no real need to get so upset over a small redundancy.
