It’s always nice when machines malfunction and make our lives a bit easier. Oh who am I kidding, we all know it totally sucks when the tools we use everyday malfunctions. It’s horrible. It’s painful. It’s so not worth your time. Or is it?

A cash machine became a big hit this week after it started paying out twice as much money as it should.

The ATM, outside a supermarket in Hull, began spewing out double the money on Tuesday afternoon and continued doing so for several hours, drawing a crowd of hundreds eager to cash in on the mistake.

Those requesting the maximum daily withdrawal of 300 pounds were being given 600 pounds and a receipt for 300.

Wow. If I went to an ATM and it gave me double the amount I asked for, but only gave me a receipt for what I had asked for, I think I would mention it to the bank. Those ATM’s do have cameras and it wouldn’t be hard for them to see exactly how much you walked away with.

After several hours the machine finally ran out of money.

…

Police said those who had benefited could face charges but only if the operator complained.

Oh, you know the operator will be complaining about it, else they will be paying out all that extra money themselves.
