8 Stressful Thoughts Every Nigerian Has When Using The ATM by pocohantas(op):
I saw this somewhere and it resonates.

So much talk about cashless, but I do not even think we are ready for it.

How did the author miss out the mad queue at ATMs, especially during festive periods? The queue can make you want to withdraw all your money and go keep under your bed. cheesy

In this era of destroying debit cards?

Anyway, the word is RETRACT. Not swallow, not eat...

I used to look at people reconfirming their cash at ATM points and wondered what kind of trust issue they suffer from. Thinking of it now, I think I am the one with issues. lipsrsealed

Click like if you think this pictures are not funny and that the thread is a waste of data.

Click share if you think it is still not funny.

Don't click at all if you think the pictures are funny.

Like who wakes up in the middle of the night just to open a boring thread like this?

Evidence of loneliness and empty bed.

By the order of the Peaky blinders.

[color=royalblue]Some times, it happens. It's just that fraudsters have taken it as a game.

I didn't even have the courage to ask. I was hopeless.

ATM wahala can be frustrating and embarrassing at the same time[/color]

ATM has really stressed my life. There was a time my card won't function on ATM but will work on POS. When I got tired of paying extra #50 per withdrawal, I jejely requested for another one. sad

I knw it was a matter of time, so you now av the temerity to correct naija oriented vocabularies ... however "Retract" sounds inappropriate, cos retract involves giving & taking it back by a party, an atm cannot give you your card & take it back undecided with the atm scenerio ... i think retained is more suitable.
you sabi vocabulary ur school no retract you .. tongue grin grin aunty wey miumiu

It is not about what you THINK is appropriate, considering you don’t have the mental capability to think well. It is about the lingo of the industry you know nothing about.

Even CBN issued guidelines on RETRACTED cards, then you, an Ogbomoso graduate says it is RETAIN(ED)? You mustn’t always expose your ignorance because you want to counter every single post I make. Why are you so silly? shocked

Retained kor, Housemanship ni.

O funny! what you think about my capacity does not discredit the fact that your lingo can't pass 4 a correction. even street lingos such as "swallow" by virtue of meaning explains the situation perfectly compared to your so called "industry lingo" whether we show interest or not financial institution are all up in our business wink roger that.
I had 2 type "retracted card" on google, the search results only justified you are an overhyped average gurl that cheated her way through abia uni.. cold room grin grin ... your biggest mistake u shuld av kept ignoring,

Smh. The only reason I ignore you is, you drain my IQ. When you type, it comes off like one eleran shouting and cursing in Yoruba language. It is not my biggest mistake, you are actually very dumb and you don’t know how stupid you come off countering things you know nothing about.

The other day you were arguing the fact that organizations are working shifts and remotely. Today it is about cards. Don’t try to cajole me into ignoring you. Whenever I have the time, I will slap senses into your empty head.

I guess your definition of low centres around "my tribe" speaking of your carefree selection, eleran,curse and ogbomoso graduate grin all that in aggregrate does not even sum up to one, tbh am beginnin to give up yu will eva guess anytin rite about me undecided "Slap" was that how you got that thing you call a brain, apparently ur mom stopped.
I will ignore your diversions,cos mere thot of screwing sense thru yu nauseate me undecided .. so i will keep it @ exposing ur oversabi asss(iyanma) with references, when yu are ready to defend "retract for a card" holla grin grin
