Today, I went to an ATM intending to withdraw $150. I approached the machine, inserted my card, typed in my pin and followed the prompts. When my card came out, I removed it, put it in my pocket and drove off. FML

Hi guys, OP here. To clarify, it wasn't a drive through ATM, I walked back to the car before the money came out. Also to those asking how I managed to do such a careless thing - I had just had a stressful day at work on the closing shift so my mind wasn't with it. I'm lucky I have a loving family that can support me until my next pay day. And I hope I just hope the money ended up in hands that needed it more than myself.

Most cash machines usually automatically take the money back in after like 20 seconds if no one pulls it out. So you're fine unless there was a queue behind you!

I work at a bank, and you would be surprised on how often it happens! You're definitely not the only one!

Where in the world has bank machines that don't require the withdrawal to be multiples of 20?

I've never been to a place where it has to be a multiple of 20. So. A lot of places!

Australia. When I read the comments my thought was "Where in the world has ATMs that don't give out $50s?"

Can't you only withdraw denominations of $20 from an atm?

Nope, can do $20's or $50's in most Australian ATM's.

Call the bank, if money isn't removed quickly it's pulled back into the machine.
