An elderly lady walks into a bank and hands her card to the teller, asking, “I’d like to withdraw $500.”
The teller, a little impatient, responds, “For withdrawals under $5,000, please use the ATM.”
The old lady looks at her, confused, and asks, “Why?”
The teller, now visibly annoyed, snaps, “It’s just the rule. Please, there’s a line behind you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll return your card.”
The old lady doesn’t say a word but takes her card back and says, “Alright, please help me withdraw all the money in my account.”
The teller is taken aback when she checks the balance: $3.5 million! She leans in and apologetically says, “I’m so sorry, Granny, we don’t have that much cash here. Could you come back tomorrow?”
The old lady, unfazed, asks, “So, how much can I take out right now?”
The teller, now in full-service mode, says, “You can withdraw up to $300,000 today.”
Without missing a beat, the old lady asks for exactly $300,000. The teller processes the withdrawal quickly and hands the cash over, still in shock.
But the lady isn’t finished. She puts $500 in her bag and calmly asks, “Please deposit the remaining $299,500 back into my account.”
Moral of the story:
Never underestimate the wisdom of the elderly. They’ve spent a lifetime learning the ropes!
The Old Lady and the Bank Call Center
An elderly lady calls her bank and gets routed to the call center.
“Is this the High Street branch?” she asks.
“No, madam, it’s company policy to handle calls centrally,” replies the voice on the other end.
“I need to speak to the branch,” the old lady insists.
The operator, eager to help, says, “If you tell me your query, I can help you.”
“I don’t think you can, young man,” she says. “I need to speak to the branch.”
The operator is firm: “There’s nothing the branch can do that I can’t handle for you.”
The old lady sighs, “Fine then… Can you check on the counter and see if I left my gloves there this morning?”
LOL!!
I hope this gave you a good laugh! Sometimes, the best jokes are the simplest ones. Have a great day!
