ATM's are for midgets

It really pisses me off how the buttons on ATM's do not allign with the options on the screen. I know this is due to looking at the screen from an angle, therefore, u have to crouch and get to eye-level with the screen in order for the buttons and options to line up.

I know this isn't that big a deal, as it is relatively easy to see what button goes to what option, given they're all misalligned. But it is especially annoying when withdrawing money at a bar, it's poorly lit, and you're motor skills are not the greatest.

Do the designers of these machines not realize that mostly adults use ATM's and maybe it is better to tilt the screen up a little. And if you're shorter then 4 feet, I'm sure you have many other problems to worry about so having the screens tilted for us taller people would not be of your greatest concern.

HOW DOES THIS POSSIBLY AFFECT YOUR LIFE IN ANY WAY?

I hate these grip posts usually, but this one, I can definetly agree with, as I notice this often.

I thought this would be about midgets doing ass to mouth.

I was also expecting this to be about ass-to-mouth.

My guess is that the ATM manufacturers primarily design their machines for drive-in use. It's easier to get low on foot than it is to raise yourself up out of a car seat.

This pisses me off too when I am drunk in a dark bar.
