Writing Prompt - Strange Coincidences

Okay, here's a writing prompt taken from my own life for ya. My mom and I went to town yesterday, and started out in my little local town of Big Lake. There are to my knowledge only three ATM machined in that town.

The ATM at the service station was not working when I stopped to use it, had apparently got too low on money, so I went to Big Lake's little mall. The ATM in the grocery store was not working - something wrong with the phone lines. Down the mall to the Credit Union.... two guys was replacing the ATM machine.

Now it just seems like some kind of cosmic hint that out of three ATMs not a single one of them was working, so here's your challenge. Find a story in such an event.

What might prompt someone to need money and what would happen if every avenue they took to get some cash was met by some form of a road block?
