How much trouble can be caused by having bank ATM keyboard numbers out of order

1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 6, 9, 8, 7 WTF? ATM key pad is all messed up. This small error really makes a mess for customers

Some may think a simple mistake, such as having numbers out of numeric order on a bank ATM key pad, wouldn’t create too much of an issue. Now think about that for a moment, not only would it wreak havoc when trying to input your private PIN but also on any transaction you may wish to perform. So how much trouble can be caused by having bank ATM keyboard numbers out of order?

Come along with the weird news crew as we investigate on location at an ATM. Our first victim is a young woman who has decided to stop and grab some cash before heading to another bar. It is about 11:30pm and our candidate has just left one bar, a little tipsy and certainly filled with beer. She wishes to take a small cash advance from the ATM so she has plenty for beer at the next stop. But wait, her PIN # didn’t work so she inputs again and again.

20 minutes goes by still trying to get passed the PIN code and all the while her pee-pee whistle has been going off in her head. Rather than stop and seek a place to toilet, she continues to re-enter the number. The new boyfriend she picked up at Bar #1 is getting a little tired of waiting. 10 more minutes pass and by this time her frustration, need for cash and need to wee, has exceeded the allowed log in attempts.

End result – the ATM eats her bank card, she wets herself and the new boyfriend dumped her and wouldn’t let her back in his Audi, so she walks home with out hitting bar #2, broke and alone. Did you think having bank ATM keyboard numbers out of order could cause that much trouble?
