Bad things can happen when you badmouth an ATM

April 25, 2014

Publicly berating an ATM for not giving you cash will not get you cash. But it might get you arrested, and then you won't have cash for bail.

Jose Gonzalez of Steelton, Pa., discovered this when he went off on what local TV station WHTM described as "a drunken and obscenity-laced tirade" against a convenience store ATM.

The police who interrupted their coffee break to arrest Gonzalez said he was perturbed that the ATM declined his transaction.
