A phone call

This afternoon, I was in a shopping mall when my phone rang. I get so few calls on my mobile that at first I didn't realise it was my phone ringing even though the ring tone is the Buffy theme tune. I fumbled in my bag for the phone and without my glasses on, I couldn't even remember which button to press to answer the it but even though I pressed one at random, it was the right one.
It was my bank. My debit card had been used at an ATM in Texas and they wanted to know if it was me doing it. I said it was, as I was in Texas at the moment, and he then said he had my travel plans in front of him. I'd notified my bank last week that I was travelling. So why was he checking? He then asked me to confirm I'd used the card in Tesco last week.
I was standing outside some toilets at the time, about to use a drinking fountain. At least I wasn't actually using the loo when it went off.
