+description: "A rambling man at the ATM threatens to burn me with — or sell me — a torch (I'm still not sure)."
+---
+
+"_STOP!_" he shouts, right as I'm about to take my money from the ATM in downtown Sofia. Alarmed, I turn around to find some bearded man standing right behind me, holding what — at first glance — looks like a gun. "_Holy shit,_" I think, "_am I about to get jacked?_"

+"_Oh wait, WTF, that's not a gun,_" I say to myself, as I remove my card from the machine. The "weapon" appears to be a large, hand-held lighter, or maybe a butane torch. "_Is this guy going to burn me or something?!_" I think, waiting the longest three seconds of my life for the ATM to spit out my money. Me staring, him rambling, I hear the word _leva_ (the name of the Bulgarian currency) — maybe he's trying to sell it to me? Worst. Salesman. Ever. I grab my money, stuff it into my pocket, and walk away quickly.
+
+I'm still not sure if I was in danger of getting burned (for example) or if he just wanted to sell the damn thing to me. It will probably be a while before I go back to that ATM again, though!
