About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the Lakeside Bank parking lot. Among the usual boxes and packages lay an old, dusty violin case. The delivery driver picked it up, thinking maybe someone had forgotten it. When he opened the case, out fell not just any instrument but a small army of rubber ducks. Turned out, it was a prank from one of the neighbors who loved practical jokes. The next day, everyone in town knew about the ‘Lakeside Bank Duck Delivery Service’.

2. A customer whispered to their friend in line, ‘Did you see what just happened outside? The teller just waved hello to someone invisible!’ Another customer leaned over and giggled, ‘I thought I saw that too!’ Just then, a delivery driver approached the counter, nodded politely, and said nothing unusual. Everyone exchanged knowing smiles—maybe Lakeside Bank had its own secret club of invisible friends.

3. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the Lakeside Bank ATM and said loudly, 'Excuse me, young man—do you know how to use this contraption?' The young teller smiled politely and replied, ‘Oh yes, sir, no problem.’ The old man then proceeded to insert his card with such precision that it looked like he was performing a delicate dance. After several minutes of careful typing, he triumphantly announced, ‘There! Now I can get my money!’ The teller nodded and asked gently, ‘Sir, did you actually want to deposit or withdraw?’ The old man blushed and whispered sheepishly, ‘I thought this was the voting machine…’

4. One afternoon, while waiting for his turn inside Lakeside Bank, a regular exclaimed loudly, 'I thought I saw a ghost!' Everyone looked around nervously, but there was no one there. Suddenly, an old delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘It’s not a ghost, mate—it’s just my reflection in that mirror behind you!’ Everyone laughed, realizing their mistake. The regular muttered, ‘Oh, right… I should’ve known better than to believe my eyes here.’
