Defend the indefensible: Can you tell me where to find an ATM machine?

I am getting a little pedantic, but decided to start another thread after reading the PIN number discussion.

Its just one of those things that makes my skin crawl. Other, as-benign misspeaks are never a problem for me, but this one just drives me batshit crazy. Any concurrences? Any others that people want to share? Or am I just being an over-sensitive twat?

What is your PIN number?

kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 13 October 2005 12:46 (twenty years ago)

It is "cash machine" or "ATM". Not a weird mangled mixture of both.

Or, as that advert had it "Etiem! Etiem!!!"

Oh good, we only have 9,000 other threads on people being pedantic assholes about things that don't matter.

My PIN number is 1234. Just like the combination on my luggage.

Could you kindly direct me to the AT machine? I've just remembered my PI number.

Confounded (Confounded), Thursday, 13 October 2005 14:02 (twenty years ago)

PI number is covered by the above linked thread, and also in that other recently started PIN number thread.

I impragnated your mom while she was bent over an AT machine. I then tattooed my PI number on my hand so I would never forget it again.

Esteban, you are a humorless waste.

you forgot the pin number for the hole in the wall so you had to settle for the 'ho 'gainst the wall.

How about the beginnings of sentences?

Old School (sexyDancer), Thursday, 13 October 2005 14:50 (twenty years ago)
