Man forgets ATM PIN when the bank wall he scratched it on was painted over
Incident Date: October 1993 Incident Location: Australia "I'm not happy", said the bloke on the phone to his bank's head office. "What did you have to go and paint it for? ... My local branch ... you've just painted the outside of it." "Um ..." said the nonplussed executive at the other end. "You're missing the point. I'd scratched my PIN number into the paint work. Now you've covered it over and I can't use my bloody card!"
