CommunismFTW 09/14/21 3:39:10 PM #1:	I was going to buy a car today and had enough cash on me to make it happen no problem, but since a lot of it was saved up tips, I had a little too many 5's and 10's to be comfortable handing a stack to the dude. So I went to my local bank to exchange them out for 100's. I walked up to the door and saw that they were closed early due for whatever reason but the indoor, onsite atm was left open to access. I figured yeah I'll just withdraw and pay myself back later, it's fine. It sputtered around a bit before telling me "We cannot dispense cash at this time, sorry" while also hitting my bank with the transaction. I called their bank, then mine, to file a support ticket paper trail and begin the dispute. Which, if you don't know, disputing an atm withdraw is kind of like ice skating up a mountain. I get an hour of calls out of the way and begin to go about my business again for this car. The guy calls me that moment and says he can't sell the car today, maybe next week. :\| --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. https://imgur.com/OhZgm <cite>CommunismFTW posted [p:958052112] in This kind ...

pure_temper 09/14/21 4:16:19 PM #2:	It may be good luck. Consider a timeline where that car is a lemon and its brakes wouldve given out on the highway or something. Perhaps it wouldve placed you in the right place but at the wrong time. When bad things happen, they may be preventing something much worse from happening. --- It's obvious all religions are fundamentally true. <cite>pure_temper posted [p:958053106] in This kind ...
