These Hilarious Jokes May Help You Brave The Mind Numbing Queues Before Banks And ATMs Right Now

India right now: Magar queue?

On November 8th, in his speech addressing the nation about the introduction of new currency notes to curb black money, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that ATMs (automated teller machines) across the country would be closed on November 9th and in some places even on the 10th.

As ATMs became functional, many ran out of cash instantly or downed their shutters due to technical difficulties. With only a handful of them functional, thousands of Indians are out there queuing up outside ATMs to withdraw cash to meet their daily needs.

While the situation isn't as chaotic everywhere like in the video above, queues are everywhere. While there is a lot of ranting, fighting and complaining on social media, some still have their sense of humour intact. Here's a bunch of jokes to kill time with if you're standing in a queue before an ATM.

Saw an ATM with a queue of only 3 people. Parked my car at nearest possible place. Crossed the road. Now there are 50 people ahead of me.

Don't worry if any ATM around you runs out of cash. The government has introduced a few makeshift ATMs. Here's how they work. pic.twitter.com/nhSsdCU1xp
