Parents....you have to love 'em

Just to preface my parents have an account here since they travel within the US so much however the account is in Soul mates name. They are currently traveling and wanted access to their account so Soul mate got them an ATM card. A recent conversation that took place between my parents and Soul mate (When reading, please use your best British accent for Parents):


Parents: We have been trying to buy gas with this card and it won't work

Soul mate: That's because it's an ATM card , you can only draw money out.

Parents: Oh, so it's not a Debit card?

Soul mate: No, it's an ATM card, that you requested, you can draw money out from anywhere in the country

Parents: Oh, It's just we wanted to buy cousin Gas and the card won't work

Soul mate: No, it's an ATM card, pay cash for the gas

Parents: Oh, we really wanted to buy the Gas but they will only takes cards

Soul mate: Let cousin buy the Gas on his card and then pay him in cash which you can get out with the ATM card

Parents: Oh, we are worried we might need more cash, can we get more?

Soul mate: You can get $300 a day

Parents: Oh, can you increase the limit?

Soul mate: No, but you can draw money out daily, that should be plenty

Parents: Oh, we like the Debit card, because now we just have all this cash.

Soul mate: You can use the cash, it works like a Debit card

Parents: Oh, we just like the debit card because we have so much cash

Soul Mate: It is the card you wanted

Parents: Can you send us a check because we are scared we might run out of money

Soul mate: ..............Click
