Recently, a man walked into China Construction Bank in Shanghai with a meat cleaver. He apparently wanted to rob the bank. Things did not go as planned.
The man entered the bank, while talking on the phone. When he looked like he was going to pull the fire alarm, a guard supposedly shouted at him. The man then pulled the cleaver and allegedly told the teller, “This is a robbery.”
The teller, safe behind glass, chuckled as the man continued to talk on the phone.
According to Xinhuanet, police took the would-be robber into custody to question his motive and evaluate his mental faculties. They might want to examine his criminal ones too.
Naturally, GIFs of the amused bank teller are currently making the rounds on popular Chinese sites.

Is…Is that really something to find amusing though? I mean it’s not as if the people walking behind are lucky enough to have glass inbetween him and them.
Do you think a bank cares about its customers? Silly person!
Oh did I say people? How silly of me. I meant to say all the money walking behind him.
It all ends up in the bank one way or another. 🙂
lol the guy can’t even pay attention, he’s just on the phone not even looking at her.. I don’t realistically think anyone was in any danger.
If you look at how he treats the girl who was originally at the counter, I suspect that diffused any tension.
EDIT and wtf that girl looks at him for ages before slowly walking away? I would be freakin sprinting and screaming for help
Bank: We don’t even give customers their own money. Lookit this guy! This guy right here!
And it wasn’t even a security guard that disarmed and subdued him.
