i think i am being monitored

[don6644]

I hate hate hate it when I am at the atm and some dumb ass will stand behind me. I cannot express enough how much I hate this. I would rather someone watch me take a shit than watch me perform a transaction at the atm.

but every time I go to the atm, some dumb ass will immediately come and stand behind me. every motherfucking time.

I have tried different locations. I have tried rich neighborhoods, poor neighborhoods. I have tried banks that have multiple atms. I have tried different times of day. I have tried holidays. every motherfucking time some asshole has to show up and stand there like a dumb ass.

is there any scientific explanation for this? I have no mental illnesses (I hope). what is going on?

I have no mental illnesses (I hope). what is going on?

Yes you have mental illness. Its called not minding your own business, and thinking unrealistically.

Depending on who you talk to you might need a lifetime of medication, but I doubt you would really need it.

Who's got time to go to the ATM machine every day? Aren't you working? lol

no, it's called situational awareness. it's called noticing patterns. where in my post does it say I go every day?

Maybe someone is watching, so you gotta do your stuff quickly . But most of the time, it’s not like someone’s waiting to steal your password. Chill, man, just stay a little cautious.

Noticing patterns is one thing. But the brain can recognise patterns all day. Give it something worthwhile in the work that you do then. Don't go around building paranoia. Any numpty can do that. You're life won't be much fun.

Why don't you stand over the road from an ATM and watch how many people use it? lol

Generally if you have a real fecked up head, you won't want to prove yourself wrong. If you still get paranoia, check youself in to your nearest hospital for a BS life on medication, and people asking you personal questions regularly.

TLDR

I know cause I've been there with the super paranoia. Still living with the repercussions today.

Where are they supposed to stand? What distance behind you would you be comfortable with them standing?

 

[XrumerGeek]

Just a load of nonsense. You aren't being watched, it's all chance and conincidence.
If you think you're devoting too much time on such concenrs, go see a mental health professional to dig into it further.

 

[betsuga]

Now you need an atm in your house mate

 

[Filogery]

My friend, this is called paranoia..

 

[NemoTheOne]

I'm not sure if you're being monitored or not - but maybe you should be, given all that anger you have towards complete strangers to you.

Carry a fart spray with you when you enter an ATM just 2, 3 sprays and I guarantee no one will come near

 

[thehermeticdev]

so, you telling us, that when you go to the street, you find more people? that are also maybe going to the atm as you?

 

[Project Limitless]

Start coughing violently, they'll back off lol
Or just take out your cash and walk away, I don't know why others queuing behind you should bother you.

 

[CorleoneSolution]

you need to touch some grass man

 

[SettingSun77]

Best way to clear a queue is to buy a pack of toilet rolls, stand like you're about to crap yourself and start yelling "HURRY UP IT'S NEARLY HERE".

 

[CuiBap Agency]

It’s like a magnet for some reason! I’ve experienced the same and it’s definitely a lack of basic social etiquette regarding personal space

Why do you not use Whonix with VM. It works, and tor is okay with it, you are making a mistake by thinking Tor is used for espionage, you should tread lightly on it before going full in.

I am not criticizing them for standing behind me. they also need to use the atm, I get it. but what I dont get is, why every single time I go to the atm, someone else needs to use it too. like what are the chances of that. how come there is never a time that I go to the atm, and in the 60 seconds I am there, no asshole shows up? I do my business in peace and leave? especially on a holiday? I scheduled my last atm transaction on christmas day so all dumb asses are home getting gifts from their families. nope, some dumb ass shows up right behind me.

marijuana gets rid of paranoia?

What would you say if I said to you that maybe the people behind you at the ATM are thinking, "Why is there always some asshole using the ATM when I want to use it?"
