Florida Man Michael Joseph Oleksik was on his way to work back in November when the damndest thing happened to him at an ATM – it started giving him more money than he requested. The short version of the story is that he started kicking the ATM’s ass for this misdeed.
It was a $5,000 ass kicking, according to the bank.
From Florida Today:
Authorities said Oleksik can be seen on surveillance video standing at the ATM, pummeling the electronic teller’s touch screen on Nov. 29.
A short time later, an apologetic Oleksik called the bank and told a manager that he punched the ATM because he was ‘angry the ATM was giving him too much money and he did not know what to do,’ records show. Oleksik also said that he was in a hurry for work and apologized for the damage to the bank’s ATM.
At least he was cordial about it. Mike could’ve just taken off, forced the local cops to put his face all over Facebook and wait for one of his family members to turn him in. This way saved so many tax dollars.
Look, Mike Oleksik isn’t a criminal here. Wells Fargo has been charging a maintenance fee for years. It was a little misunderstanding and the computer f’d up this time. It was about time a computer got its ass kicked. Live and learn, ATM bot.
