We all hate to have to fill out paperwork, but sometimes it can actually work to our advantage. Consider the case of a bank robber in Flint, Michigan. He went into hi local credit union and handed the teller a note reading "give me all your money or I'll kill you."
The teller kept her calm, though. She handed the note back to the would-be robber and told him he needed to fill out a withdrawal slip first. The man was dumbfounded and tried to figure out what to do next - while the clever teller went to call 911.
The robber eventually fled from the credit union, but the police caught up to him a short while thereafter, with the note still in his pocket. It's unclear whether he had a withdrawal slip on him as well. But the next time you have to fill out excessive paperwork at a bank, remember, it might just be the weapon the trips up the next potential thief.
