Fear –noun | 1. | a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid. |
Don't worry, I'm alive and well and the bank didn't dish out any unnecessary monies.
The story goes like this. Its a busy afternoon in the bank. Its queued out to the door. I'm serving a customer when this gentleman from the queue walks to my colleague, puts his hand inside his jacket and says in a quiet voice "i don't want you to make a fuss, but this is a hold up and I want you to give me all the banks money". Immediately my colleague and myself go to press our panic button to alert the police and our security. The guy saw us both and said "oh don't panic, i'm only joking". Now I can take a joke. Infact i'm quite the joker myself but that was not funny. Another customer commented on how the colour from my collagues face was drained. Bhanu, still quite startled continued to serve the guy and throughout the transaction he kept saying "i'm glad you're not as serious as her (indicating me), it was only a joke". Eventhough I was serving my own customer, i interupted and told the guy that it was very serious and not something you joke about. This kind of joke wouldn't be funny, even if it was a well known customer nevermind a random dodgy looking person we've never seen before.
After we worked the queue, I had a chat with Bhanu. She described how she felt and I felt exactly the same. A "tom and jerry" moment. When your heart plumets down to the floor and back up to your throat.
So thats that! Please never go into a bank and pretend you're going to rob it. It's not big, it's not funny. It's stupidity.
P.s My thumb still hurts!
