I am not American. I am not Mexican.

I am simply a dumb tourist.

I wanted to get 800 pesos which is like 40 dollars. I go to the atm, I don’t read anything because I’m in a hurry, I type 800.

And then the horror. I think I actually broke the machine. I ended up with fucking 800 American dollars. Cash was literally fucking flying because of course there was wind. At the end I got 680 dollars. If you are in Los Cabos and found 120 dollars in the street well you can thank me. Or maybe the machine just didn’t have that amount of cash I don’t know. I certainly miss 800 dollars on my bank account tho.

I have 680 American dollars, I have no fucking idea what I will do with it, I have a trauma of ATM now and I still can’t believe this actually happened. How it’s even possible that it happened

TL;DR: I fucked up, withdrawing 800 dollars because I didn’t notice it was an American dollar ATM and not a Mexican peso one

Edit: I know it sounds fake and it’s not really a proof but here, it’s a picture of the tragedy: https://i.postimg.cc/nccBWfvZ/IMG-4572.jpg
