Drive Through Bank Machines
Although I rarely use the fast food drive through lines (I think they call them 'drive thru's' now),I do use the bank machine version fairly frequently. Like their fast food counter parts, when someone else is there it is almost faster to go inside to the vacant machines there. It is like a circus of clowns, since these machines were designed to speed things up, except when;
1) You get the idiot parked four feet away and they have to open their door and sometimes stand outside their vehicle to reach the keyboard.
2) The lost soul who stops two feet away and has to hang out the car window like they are doing the watusi to reach the keyboard.
3) The I'm for me one that hasn't seen their bank card since last Friday and sits and searches for it through pockets purse and wallet.
4) The one sitting a car length away from the machine doing the dirty boogie that hasn't got the slightest clue to realize the car ahead of them left 4 minutes ago.
5) The one I like the best, after three cards, four transactions, and reading five deposit slips, sits and counts the money they just got one by one. Excuse me sir/madam, what do you do if there isn't enough.

Great how these modern conveniences speed things up. Just try the grocery checkout sometime..
