Nothin' but respect to the 70+ crowd...but this was FUNNY.

I was at the bank drive-through yesterday evening and saw the funniest awkward thing, and it wasn't anything to do with me!! To set the scene for you, there are 2 drive-thru lanes at my bank - where you would use those plastic tube containers that are sucked up and into the bank. I was in the right drive-thru lane and there was a driver on my left. I'm sitting there waiting for the teller to process my deposit through the tube system when this old lady confusedly wanders up to the teller window on foot.

Old lady: Hello? Excuse me? (knocks on bank teller's glass)

Teller (confused, speaks through the speaker at my drive-thru lane): Can I help you?

Old lady (looking around for the source of the teller's voice): How do I use this thing?

Teller (still through my speaker): Are you trying to make a deposit?

Old lady: Yes.

Teller: Oh, ma'am you would use one of those tubes. (Points to the driver on my left who is completing his transaction and putting the empty tube back into the unit)

Old lady: Oh! Thank you. (Walks over to the tube the teller pointed at, struggles to get the tube out)

Driver on my left: (Not sure how to react, still sitting in his drive-thru lane, watching as the lady tries to pull the tube out of the unit a foot away from him)

Teller: Ma'am? Ma'am? You actually have to drive through, if you could just go get your car and come into one of these lanes I can talk you through the whole process.

Old lady: Oh! Okay. And you'll show me how to use this thing? (Points to tube) I can put my money inside of that?

Teller: Yes ma'am you can.

Old lady: Okay I will be right back, in my car.
