No i have to check my makeup again!

hey, i get through those things as quick as a i possibly can (and cover when i put in my pin)...can't be too careful. (and i always pull close so i don't have to open my door)

That is so not true!!!!

If its not true, I ask you: Do you have your ATM card in your hand before reaching the ATM? Because you would be the first woman I have ever known to follow this well-known male rule...

Well not in my hand, but in my pocket. It's weird, I don't put my bank card in my wallet. Don't know why.

*makes a note to pick Allys pocket leaving the wallet right where it is*

yes i do have it in my hand..i don't wnat to sit there any longer than necessary
and i don't wear makeup so wouldn't check mirror
