Just when I think I’ve seen it all, something even more outrageous manages to top it. Take this, for example: imagine sitting in a bank, patiently waiting your turn, when suddenly you realize two people are having sex right in front of you. That’s exactly what happened to customers at Eastman Credit Union in Tennessee. A stunned bystander witnessed the brazen act happening inside a glass-walled room, clearly visible to anyone seated nearby. Although the glass offered a bit of a blur, it was still obvious what was going on. The only possible explanation? They must’ve assumed the glass would hide them. Spoiler alert: it didn’t.
Something I’m grateful for is that the video of the Tennessee couple is only six seconds long. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t have liked to see the video any longer. The woman filming the whole situation found it funny as well. You can hear her laughing as she says “Screwing. Well shit.” I would love to know how the bank would react now. They did provide a statement about the situation as they wrote:
“Earlier this week, we learned of a video taken of inappropriate behavior in a Johnson City, Tennessee branch. We took immediate action as we have zero tolerance for this kind of misconduct. We apologize this disturbing incident happened at our facility as it clearly does not represent who we are as an organization. We are committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for our staff and members.”
People Reacting to the Tennessee Bank’s Scandal
It’s safe to say that everyone who saw the Tennessee bank’s scandal couldn’t help but joke about it. One person said that, due to the nature of the video, maybe this bank isn’t one where you find money. “I guess it’s a sperm bank?” they wrote. Another person also wrote, “I have been f**ked by a bank but never in a bank.” Well, this is one way to look at it. This response made someone else reply and say, “The bank has never put a deposit in me.” I’m sure not everyone would be excited to receive this kind of deposit. There was also one person who responded to the bank’s statement by saying, “They take care of their members alright.” I don’t think that this is what they meant.
Someone else found it unfair that they didn’t receive the same treatment. “All I got was a toaster when I opened an account. Didn’t know this was an option,” they wrote. Maybe this is something that they are just introducing. One Redditor even compared the Tennessee bank’s scandal to the one at Coldplay’s concert. “It’s like they saw that couple from the Coldplay concert and said, ‘Hold my beer’,” they wrote. I mean, that’s a good way to make headlines. One person thought of something similar as they wrote, “Coldplay strikes again.” Chris Martin is in high demand now. Let’s just hope that the whole thing isn’t the reason why service can be slow at banks.
