  8. This is PRICELESS, Valerie!

    And what's really ironic is that now that I live in a city and use only the walk-up ATM machines, it's true for those as well. In fact, many years ago, I wrote a post about this on my blog. I was standing behind a women who stood there after she got her money and put on LIP LINER and LIP GLOSS - I kid you not!

    Great post! Thanks for the awesome Saturday morning laugh!

  9. I have sometimes felt that women pay more attention to detail than men so I am not surprised it applies to routine tasks lie getting cash out of an ATM. Perhaps that was why man invented the Credit Card so as to help them speed things up.
