If you are approached by armed robbers while at the ATM, enter your PIN backwards. The ATM will give you the money and, at the same time, alert the police, who will arrive instantly to arrest the bad guys. Then the police will congratulate you because you knew to enter the PIN backwards because not many people know about doing it.
But, if you go to your ATM and test this for yourself, the police will arrest you for turning in a false alarm and the bank will revoke your ATM card.
I know this is true because it was explained to me by someone I never heard of in an email I opened by mistake.
It must be true! I got the same e-mail four times from the same person, who I only know slightly (we were both on the same tour a couple of years ago). If that doesn’t indicate that it’s true I don’t know what would!
what is worse is that the robber will see that the ATM is not giving you the money, assume you entered the PIN backwards to rat on him and be really mad at you so now you don’t have the option of just giving him the money and walking with your life.
The last person around here who argued at an ATM with a robber got shot in the leg and died.
Oh, I get it, this is a joke thread.
Turns out she lived, and the judge made the robber her butler
You know that snowman the neighborhood kids build in the park every year? The one with the sewing thimble stuck in the front of the lower snowball?
…everybody knows, dude.
No. Nothing will happen. As many people have said. The machine will not give you money becuase it doesn’t work. And the robber could think that you are trying to screw him over and shoot you anyway. I hope nobody hears this and actually tries it in an emergency and something awful happens…
Like the guy in Snopes said- it could certainly have some usefulness but who could figure out their PIN backwards with a gun to their head?
What if the gun is pointed backwards at your head? Does that mean the PIN number is to be correctly typed?
What if the robber has a stick? Do you reach into the ATM and grab the birdie that doles out the cash and offer it to your neighbor as a sign of reaching manhood?
Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I’ll tell you something my lad. When you’re walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don’t come crying to me! Now, the passion fruit. When your assailant lunges at you with a passion fruit…
