Don't be difficult

This old lady handed her bank card to the teller and said

“I would like to withdraw $10”.

The teller told her “for withdrawals less than $100, please use the ATM."

The old lady wanted to know why... The teller returned her bank card and irritably told her

“these are the rules, please leave if there is no further matter. There is a line of customers behind you”.

The old lady remained silent for a few seconds and handed her card back to the teller and said

“please help me withdraw all the money I have.”

The teller was astonished when she checked the account balance. She nodded her head, leaned down and respectfully told her

“you have $300,000 in your account but the bank doesn’t have that much cash currently. Could you make an appointment and come back again tomorrow? "

The old lady then asked how much she could withdraw immediately. The teller told her any amount up to $3000.

“Well please let me have $3000 now.”

The teller kindly handed $3000 very friendly and with a smile to her.

The old lady put $10 in her purse and asked the teller to deposit $2990 back into her account.

The moral of this story is....

Don’t be difficult with old people, they spent a lifetime learning the skill.

In Florida, the Sunshine State, a 71-year-old moviegoer shot a man who was texting in the row in front of him in January 2014. Curtis Reeves, an ex-police officer, went to theater management and told them of the texter, but they didn’t do anything. He went back and the arguing commenced.

A bit of popcorn was thrown and a bit of bullets were shot, and the victim, Chad Oulson, died instantly. Reeves then sat down in his chair and continued watching “Lone Survivor.”

He was arrested for second-degree homicide.

In 2003, Santa Monica was traumatized. An 86-year-old man crashed through a crowd of hippies and vegans at the biweekly farmers market.

It all lasted 10 seconds. Going speeds of up to 60 miles per hour, George Weller sandwiched folks against shelves and rammed into pedestrians, injuring 63 along with the 10 killed. He received a guilty verdict on 10 counts of vehicular manslaughter.

The case started an international debate on whether elderly drivers are to be trusted.
