Went to withdraw some money from a cash machine in the high street today. As usual the machine asked me if I wanted a receipt with my balance on it. Instead of pressing the "no" button, I screamed at the machine "No I don't want to see the balance. I'm
scared to see the balance. And the balance may be negative by now, in which case I am better off not knowing and going on with my life as normal - at least until it goes so far into the negative that you eat my card. So please
DON'T TELL ME MY FUCKING BALANCE!"
Now everyone in the High Street thinks I'm mad.
Sadly, everyone in the High Street may be correct.
