For a moment I got scared

I have done many closings inside of Citi Bank for their costumers. So I am very comfortable doing closings in the banks. I was contracted to do a signing for a BOA inside of their branch. When I got there, the bank manager cleaned up her desk in his office and asked me to sit behind her desk and the borrowers sat in front me just like any costumer. After the usual routine, the borrowers started to sign their papers. All of a sudden I IMAGINED what if a bunch of rubbers come in the bank and come directly to the office of the bank manager and force me to give them the combination of safe. Then I started to panic. Thankfully my imagination lasted only for a few second. Next time I will ask if they have a conference room.

Bank Robberies are not funny!

I speak from experience. In 1970 I was working as a teller and found myself at the other end of a gun. I was very young. It was very scary.

Seriously...

the thought has never crossed my mind. I'd have no choice but to tell them that I'm just a notary and that I wasn't affiliated with the bank, if that were to happen. The odds are against it though, but wrong place, wrong time, then maybe your number is just up. I don't normally get the bank manager's office, so I guess that makes you Special! LOL

I actually chased a bank robber back in 1990. If I would have had a larger pistol with me (only had a 25cal, 9mm was @ home) he would not have gotten away with it.

When the police found out I had chased the guy, they swarmed the apt. complex I called them from, but he had switched cars or ducked into an apt. while I was calling (3 mo. before 1st cell) Got to meet some FBI and ABI agents who were okay, but they made sure they got my ss# to keep check on my bank accts..

Sorry to make light of your daydream, but the typo made it irresistible.

Done many a bank closing also, but never really gave that one a thought.

Had a really funny thing happen one time when I was on the way back from the courthouse. I'm walking down the street to our building, and a bank was in the lobby at the time, and I see this car pull up in front of the entrance with 2 guys in black stocking masks jump out with some heavy artillery. I had no gun and I ducked into the exit of the drivethrough of the bank, which was at the bottom of the parking garage. I'm watchin and wondering what the heck should I do. The wheelman is still in the car, also with a stocking mask on. Out of the blue a second cousin of mine sees me and stops and tells me "Get in the dam car! They're robbing the bank!" Sounded like a good plan to me. LOL Come to find out they were doing a reinactment for Crime Stoppers to put on the news so it was ALL fake! Once 911 told us that we looked and saw the camera outside. Felt kinda dumb, but it was pretty real at the time. My cousin had a cell, but I didn't even have one yet at the time.

A Freudian Moment There....I could just see a bunch of rubbers running toward you! What a hoot you are!

Those bank branches are prime targets for robberies. I was headed to a BOA branch one morning for a RM closing. Not one block away there was the tell-tale yellow tape all around a Wachovia branch.
It was a bit unnerving.

Re: You all are just too much!!! I cannot tell you....

My "inlaws" are old school and have sayings I am still getting used to...one day we went to visit it happened to be raining...the kind of rain that leaves every inch of you wet. When we entered my inlaws home, my Mother-in-law with a panicked look on her face, yelled out...why didn't ya'll wear rubbers??? I looked at my honey in shock and waited for him to answer...he replied, Mom...folks just don't wear them like they used to. I kept silent for a short while, trying to figure out why this very shy and very proper lady could ask such a thing...and then when I could make no sense of it no matter how I reasoned...I whispered into my honey's ear..."babes...why did Mom ask us about not wearing rubbers?" He laughed and said...darlin'...that's what older folks call waterproof boots or shoes. Had to share this...sorry!

Re: You all are just too much!!! I cannot tell you....

Thanks for the story, Chelley. It brought back memories. I can picture my mother saying the same thing--scolding for not wearing golashes (the other name). Back then people owned like 2 pairs of shoes, and you needed to save them by putting these hideous looking things over them.
I needed these laughs. Thanks to Jim & John, I went to sleep last night giggling.
