    I was at a cash machine yesterday and an old lady asked me to check her balance so I pushed her over.

    Boom! Having this for my “cracker” joke tomorrow.

    Although this particular story may be a bit "tall", there is no doubt that people do get mugged after they have been watched using a cashpoint.

    I'm sure that it almost happened to me once when I used a cashpoint in Kings Cross, and afterwards somebody came up beside me and started trying to talk to me.

    "Shoulder surfing" is also a real phenomenon, where somebody will try to see your PIN as you type it in, and then afterwards mug you or otherwise trick you to get the card from you.

    It makes a change, no xenophobic undertones to the 'story' on this occasion.

    I dont bother with all the fiddly last bit.
    Once i've shoulder surfed the pin i just grab the whole handbag and run off


    It breaks up my usual week of drugging people, stealing their kidneys, and leaving them in hotel rooms in bathtubs of ice
