A simple diagram

Is all it really takes to prove to everyone around you that you are completely, utterly, incompetent.

I'm not mad, I'm not upset, I am just simply amazed at how difficult every day life must be for certain folk that cannot follow even the simplest of instructions. Instructions depicted through pictures (diagrams) should be easy to follow, one would think.

ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WRONG!

There are so few possible combinations of the way you can insert your credit card into our ATM.

You attempted the same one, over, and over, and over, and over again, until you deemed it necessary to come inform me that our ATM was broken. When I told you to turn your card upside down, you still failed.

"The strip needs to be down, and on your right."
"Oh," followed by an attempted correction.
"No, face down, and on the right."
"Oh!" again, followed by, again, an attempted correction.

Congratulations, you have gone through every possible position your card could have been in to properly work the ATM, and you failed.

I hope, for your poor, poor, sake, that you win the lottery. Otherwise, you will fail miserably at everything you do, based on your display of how poor your ATM operating skills are.

I am so sorry, you poor thing.
