Trip to the ATM Guy

Through thick and thin, through good times and bad, through all the years  of your friendship, there will always be one guy-friend who needs to find an ATM.  He’ll never have cash.  He’ll never go to his local bank before hitting the highway.  Just as you find a parking spot in Manhattan, after driving around for seventeen minutes, you'll hear, "I gotta hit up a Chase, though.  I got no cash on me."  

Your eyes roll back.  You loudly sigh.  Your buddy sitting shotgun shakes his head. 


“Always with this guy.  Every time we go out, like clockwork.”


“Yeah, big inconvenience I am, right?”


Don’t expect him to go to a random ATM, one that has a $2.50 convenience fee.   He’ll make a point to tell you how those ATM'S are a “scam”.  Refrain from getting into it, because this conversation will potentially lead to debates on societal issues.  


Trip to the ATM Guy, we’re giving ya 2 / 5 on our Gotta Go Spector Scale.  You’re a good friend and we love you.  There is a ten second span where we wouldn't mind a lion coming in through the car window and eating your head, but we do accept you for who you are.  I guess one more pit stop ain’t all that bad.  
Could have gotten cash earlier though, you really could have.
