Banks are a huge pain in the ass. Especially these days when they lose your money and are rewarded for their efforts with more of your money. It’s like punishing Jeffrey Dalhmer by taking him out to a steak dinner.

One customer who lost his ATM card in a machine tried to get it back by tossing a brick at it, according to the Nottingham Evening Post.

I can’t believe it. Not a week has gone by and yet another kid gets himself in hot water for posting a video of himself doing a crime on the Internet. Nation’s schools, I implore you.
