Read the story below to find out what happened.
My best comeback
When I was a freelancer, I would deposit my checks on Saturday mornings.
It was a nice day, so I decided to ride my bike to the ATM.
When I got there, there were a few people around.
Two people were lined up and waiting for the ATM.
This man noticed another man line up behind him.
I noticed a dude who wasn’t in the line at first, but he got in line behind me.
I was thinking he might not like waiting because I had to fill in the check amounts and total on the slip.
Before putting in his deposit, the ATM stopped working.
Anyway, it was my turn at the ATM.
As I was filling out my deposit slip, he started tapping his foot, letting me know I was holding him up.
As I entered my deposit, the ATM suddenly went out of order.
The guy behind him insulted him.
The screen came down and I tried to lighten the mood saying “I think I broke it.”
Dude replied, “I know a lot of people who don’t know how to use an ATM.”
I replied, “I bet you do!”
Then he cursed at me.
I just laughed and laughed.
And just as he was about to leave, the ATM went back up again.
He walked away.
As I was putting my stuff away, the ATM suddenly came back to life.
I finished my business and went on my merry way.
I finally had the perfect comeback and man, it felt good.
That man was way too impatient!
