If a thief forces you to take money from an ATM, do not argue or resist. What you should do is punch your pin in reverse. EX: if your pin is 1234 you punch 4321. The moment you punch in the reverse, the money will come out but will be stuck in the machine and the machine will immediately alert the police without the theif’s knowledge. Every ATM has this feature.
Reblog this so everyone knows, this happens all the time especially in the city
ATM’S DO NOT HAVE THIS FEATURE. I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE ACCIDENTALLY PUT IN A PIN NUMBER BACKWARDS AT AN ATM FOR WHATEVER REASON, AND IT JUST GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE SAYING INCORRECT PIN.
I ALSO CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE HAD TO EXPLAIN TO CUSTOMERS OF THE BANK I USED TO WORK CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR THAT NO, AUTOMATIC TELLER MACHINES DO NOT FUCKING DO THIS.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF SOMEONE GRABS YOU AT AN ATM AND THREATENS YOU FOR ALL YOUR ACCOUNTS MONEY? YOU GIVE THEM YOUR GODDAMN MONEY, CALL THE POLICE, AND THEN CALL THE BANK. THE CAMERA ON THE FUCKING ATM SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT THEIR FACE, AND THERES USUALLY ANOTHER CAMERA NEARBY JUST IN CASE THEY SHIELD THEMSELVES FROM THE ATM CAMERA. CALL THE POLICE FIRST, AND THEN CALL YOUR FUCKING BANK. TELL THE PERSON WHO WORKS FOR THE BANK WHAT HAPPENED, AND THEY WILL TAKE THE POLICE REPORT NUMBER, AND RETURN THE MONEY TO YOUR GODDAMN ACCOUNT.
THAT IS THE FUCKING POLICY IN THE EVENT OF THIS KIND OF CRIME BEING COMMITTED AGAINST ANY BANKING CUSTOMER.
ATM MACHINES DO NOT HAVE THIS FUCKING FEATURE, STOP SPREADING GODDAMN LIES THAT CAN GET PEOPLE FUCKING HURT SHOULD THEY BE IN THAT PREDICAMENT.
This is apparently a new and very gross scam apparently coined as a “cash slave”.
The one that many Tumblr users are falling for isn’t as obvious as the other one I found while fact checking. They’re usually very similar to porn bots and you probably didn’t notice how pornographic pay/pi/gbi’s header and icon are. I do not know just how much this scammer is doing or if they’re doing anything other than stealing personal information but if you know a minor who’s trying to get free money through this
WARN THEM THAT ITS STEALING BANKING INFORMATION AND PROBABLY DOING MUCH WORSE!
Do you actually get banking information by interacting with someone on paypal? Yeah it’s fishy but can they actually steal anything more serious than your email?
september is coming up so here’s your yearly reminder to leave billie joe armstrong the fuck alone
Well of course. We don’t wake him up until October 1st.
His dad is dead, just don’t.
In case anyone reading my blog is unaware, this is a reference to the Green Day song titled “Wake Me Up When September Ends” a song that Billie Joe Armstrong wrote following the death of his father in September of 1982 when Billie Joe was ten years old. The title of the song references his desire to sleep through September in an effort to get some emotional distance from the death of his father.
He’s since been open about the emotional difficulty of having written the song since many people now message him on October 1st to ‘wake him up’ despite the song being a memorial to his departed father.
It’s generally seen as respectful to not try to wake him up. Let him sleep and let him remember his father in peace.
reblogging again because the end of September is coming up. leave him alone.
Reblogging as a reminder to leave Billie Joe Armstrong the fuck alone on October 1st and any day after it if your message is going to contain anything to do with “waking” him up because September will be over.
REBLOG THIS. I CANNOT STRESS HOW IMPORTANT THIS GUIDES ARE, BOOST THIS SHIT
I feel obligated to correct the fire one.
Hello, tumblr. friendly neighborhood firefighter here. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GET WET OR PUT WET THINGS ON YOU IN A FIRE. NEVER. And I’ll tell you why. It’s kind of counterintuitive because you’re like hey water == fire, right? True. Sort of.
ExcEPT.
What does a pot of water do when you put it on the stove?
Boil.
What does it do when it boils?
Steams!!
Take the Carr fire in California, for example. We all know about the tragic deaths of the woman and two young children. They had no possibility of escape so they hid underneath a wet blanket.
That is probably the worst thing you can do. It’s not their fault, it is logical! And something I definitely thought was a good idea before I became a firefighter! However, not only will the fire still burn you because a wet blanket won’t stop a raging wildfire that can melt entire buildings, but the steam burns you sustain will be even worse.
STEAM DOES MORE DAMAGE TO THE BODY AND LUNGS THAN DRY HEAT. It is the worst way to go in a fire. Steam burns are brutal.
So. DONT jump in your pool. Don’t hide under a wet blanket. Don’t cover your face with a wet towel. Always run. If you jump in a small body of water, you will basically be lobsters in a pot of boiling water.
Don’t get anything wet and put it on your face!!!!!! As this article suggests!!!!!! Which is terrible advice!!!! The rest of it is good. But the put a wet towel over your face is definitely not. DONT DO IT. Not only will it do nothing against the smoke, it will heat up and steam and as you’re breathing it in, like I said earlier, it will damage your lungs WORSE than if it was dry.
The only time water is a good thing in a fire is if you can DRINK IT. (Or ya know if you’re a firefighter with an engine and high pressure capacity hose)
This goes for garden hoses too! Against a raging house fire or wildfire they will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. And often in house fires regular ol water can make it worse because of the different chemicals that can be involved.
The best advice for surviving a house or wildfire is to GET SOME PLACE THAT ISNT ON FIRE OR THAT WOULD CATCH ON FIRE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
Examples: golf courses, large areas of pavement ie EMPTY parking lots (cars are flammable and tend to be bomb-like when they catch fire) rock outcroppings, places that have ALREADY been burned and are cool (no fuel to burn= no fire) highways!!!!
And most of all let the firefighters do the work. Save yourself from breathing in carcinogenic smoke that will kill you before you can do any good and leave it to the men and women in heavy heat resistant gear and breathing apparatuses that train every day to handle these worst case scenarios.
Stay safe out there folks.
One more bit: GO TO YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENTS COMMUNITY INFORMATION SESSIONS THAT TEACH YOU ABOUT FIRE SAFETY! There’s a lot of misinformation circulating the internet so trust they peeps that do it for a living.
Tl;dr: don’t ever put water on or around yourself in the event of a fire. It’s always bad. Except if the only option is jump into the ocean cuz a forest fire isn’t going to boil the sea water. Other than that, always run. Always put yourself somewhere else than burning materials.
Reblog to let your followers know that they should never start cutting.
I know this website makes it seem like that shit is normal but trust me, it’s not. And once you start, you’ll never really start and it will haunt you for life.
It never gets easier, it never stops hurting, it isn’t (and will never be) “cool” or “the only way out”
Please don’t start. If you already are cutting, tell sometime and get help, it’s not as scary as it seems and you will be better off by it.
If even one person reads this… Please. You matter.
Don’t start.
Also don’t hurt yourself in any other way like starving or dehydrating yourself, not putting on warm clothes when it’s cold or anything like that
Apparently people have been adopting dogs and either killing them themselves or dropping them to a kill shelter (and one even said they were flying them to poor Asian areas to be eaten) under the Twitter hashtag #pitbulldropoff
This is completely cruel and evil and word needs to get around about these demons so everyone knows what these demons are planning to do to dogs once they get ahold of them.
If you know someone or if you yourself is planning to give away a pitty by craigslist soon, DONT and wait for awhile!!!! They act like they’re going to adopt them and act all nice then they get rid of them, don’t be fooled!!
DM me for uncensored names!!!!!!!!
Someone should tell these people I will fucking end them.
What the actual fuck?!? This is outrageous and disgusting!
BOOST THIS even if it doesn’t match your blog theme please
This may not be lbgt related but I couldn’t not reblog it to here. This blog is a platform that gives me a voice and I’m using it. Spread this. please.
The reason these “demons” are killing pitball puppies is because of how many children/babies pitbulls have killed
Every single breed of dog has the potential to kill. Every. Single. One. I have encountered far more violent dalmatians, chowchows, chihuahuas, and others compared to pitbulls. You are disgusting if you think the reported pitbull attacks can justify killing off an entire breed you vile excuse for a human being.
I am a veterinary science major who has studied many breeds and their behaviors and other traits. You don’t think labs have killed kids? That goldens haven’t? Pitbull attacks are the ones that are showed to media the most, while other instances of breeds attacking is kept on the downlow because of the appearances and stigmas around the breed. The main reasons for pitbull attacks? Their owners. Either they were abused or were not kept inside. Many attacks by dogs are also energetic excited pooches wanting to play but not knowing their strength (it’s how my doberman has left me scratched up).
I have been attacked by chow mixes, labs, collies, etc, but never a pitbull. I have a pit and she has only ever saved my life MULTIPLE times. You can’t justify the murder of an entire breed.
Killing a breed won’t save kids, responsible dog owners will.
KILLING A BREED WON’T SAVE KIDS, RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERS WILL.
Sorry, with the addition I made via my main blog I had to reblog this again
Not anime but very important. Save the Pitts!!!
Pitties are the best! shame on your life if you think they’re evil, and damn you to hell too.
Im on the verge of tears, my pitbull is honestly the most wise and kind creature I’ve ever known, if i didnt have her id be dead, and it hurts my heart so much that people would do something so terrible to creatures that think so highly of us, especially when the blame is 100% on neglectful humans
