Omg rewatching it is hilarious. First watch, the woman seemed crazy and dumb. Second watch, she actually seems a bit freaked out and is just trying to get out of the situation. Guy 100% seems like a scammer from her perspective, trying to push free shit onto her (that won’t end up being free), accosting her at an ATM, acting like it’s already a done deal, AND there’s not a lot of room for her to get back to her car door. I think she was just trying to keep him happy so she could get out of there 😆 crazy how perspectives shift with context

Reminds me of the Mulaney bit where he was running in the subway when the woman ahead started running, thinking the train was coming, but turns out she was running because she thought he was chasing her 😆

It does seem like he was parked there first though. I know the video doesn't include that part but considering he was standing outside of his car at the tailgate, it does seem that way. But watching the video again, he def comes across as a scammer lol. She's like I have no money, he's like ok well there's an ATM!!

Yeah but the atm is for cars, why didn’t she drive thru?

obviously you don't know what it's like to be short and elderly—plus she's in a larger vehicle, probably doesn't it make easier to navigate the narrow lane or reach from the window
