I came in to make a snarky response and I get this? Good job sir!

Mad props to these guys for getting out of work. If I worked in a bank, I would probably be making shiat up about smelling something too. Fusk that shiat.

*sigh* America home of the panicky herd beasts.

I went by there when it was going on. The hazmat team was there, and the yellow tape was up, but all the cops seemed pretty relaxed and laughing. I don't think they really thought it was anything bad, they were just following the protocol.

Hey, lay off the Czech chicks. Babushkamamas were hot once upon a time in their lives, y'know.

Until their calves of doom kick in. Then not so hot.

 
r0Be 2008-04-27 07:32:57 AM  
So.....did the Hazmat team rob the bank? Did anyone check yet?

I LOLed.

Smells are lowbrow humor but always worth a laugh.

New Milford?

*checks the address*

I think I've been to that bank, long before Bank of America bought most of the banks of America. My stepmother had an account there and we drove past the drive-up window many times. If it's not the same building, it's at approximately the same location.

I need to get some sleep.... I read it as smelly 'chick' and starting grumbling about how badly hippies suck.

/Goodnight everybody

Did they check the column behind the desks?

/does not have the classic thread number at hand

Well, at least they aren't laundering money.

i also though "that must have been embarrassing".

Maybe the check was cashed in ass pennies?

Same haz-mat thing happened at the Secretary of State's Office in Springfield, Illinois. An application for a truck license smelled of gasoline and had a brown "smudge" on it, which turned out to be some poor slob's greasy fingerprint. Closed down one floor of the building for a while. I think it might be an excuse to get out of work for a while.

 
Lamune_Baba 2008-04-27 08:50:51 AM  
I was going to make some comment about how big America's vagina has gotten over the last few years to call in a hazmat team over some freaking machine oil.

Then I remembered that we now evac buildings and call in the bunnysuits when someone breaks a farking lightbulb.

I'd say they definitely have the upper hand now...

People still write checks?


/didn't RTFA

 
portablemayhem 2008-04-27 09:50:17 AM  
Well at least they were thorough and used 'smell check'.



/Got nothin

No, it's funny when people make simple, obvious, misteaks.

Depends on the machine.

After seeing her picture I reckon Olestra may be the culprit.

I'll eat pancakes on her grave!

Those of you who have worked with large amounts of cash can back me up on this. When you open the door of a safe you get hit in the face with the smell of stale ass. You become immune to it. It still creeps me out when a hot looking chick pays for something with 60 one-dollar bills.

Depends on the person smelling it. Most people it doesn't bother but the stuff gives me a headache very quickly. So if you catch a wiff of something and instantly develop a headache I can possibly see how that could cause a teller to be concerned. Lots of people have lots of different chemical sensitivities and allergies.

Work at a big box grocery store in the midwest. Wait on 100+ customers face-to-face every day, 40 hours a week. If I had a dime for...

...every fat woman who pulls their sweaty money out from their bra,

...every bum who has hygene issues while standing in my line,

...the moron who takes the pen he just borrowed from you and holds it in his mouth while fumbling for his checkbook,

...every idiot who callously coughs in my face or blows his nose BEFORE handing me his change penny-by-penny...

...I'd certainly be a rich person!

Im surprised no one has mentioned this!

This took place in New MILFord.

Bank of America is a farking rip off lol. I got $100 for my birthday when I was like 10, so I had my mom put it in an account there.

Well, I never saw that money again. They deducted fees out of it so much that I had zero left.

/still farking bitter about that shiat.

Bring your checks by, and I'll clean them! Take out that pesky machine oil!

Either you or your mother needs to learn how to read the fine farking print.

It would have only been funny if the guy smelled like poop.

 
darth_nick23 2008-04-27 05:15:13 PM  
i once had a lady try to pay with some money that was wet and reeked of cat piss, i told her i want going to touch the money and she wasn't going to be able to spend it here, but if she came back with some clean money i would take it. i think she was trying to buy cigarettes with a sock full of money one time too but i wasn't there to see that.

/stupid meth heads and smokers.
