If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your PIN number in reverse order. For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321.

The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine.

The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you.

This information was recently broadcasted on TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know it exists.

I'm still not recovering from the trauma of my first payday yet it was followed by another unfortunate event. -AND THIS IS THE LESSON i'll be remembering during paydays! haha nothing serious here, just can't find the words that would lighten the story. Please bear with me.. haha!

so this is how it happened. I was on a night shift and it was the 29th meaning i'll go home on a 30th and we all know that the month end is a payday so I was so excited to go home. Our trainer told us that we should wait at least 3 or 5 to encash our salary. I'm near SM (santa rosa) and my card is a BDO account so the best way to encash mine is to go there. I waited until 5 to be sure that i'll get my salary. So I was at the mall.... guess what happened?


NO ATMs WORKIN....


gosh....



the lesson there? don't queue for an encashment during a payday.
