Some people obviously to much money

Hi Guys,
Today in the Super Market a youngish Woman dropped a number of coins from her purse, she stopped, looked like she was going to pick them up but said out loud, "bugger it, I cant be bothered" and walked on through leaving the coins where they fell.

I collected $3.65 and was going to give it to her but said to myself "bugger it, you didn't want them so I'll keep them".

Leon

She was probably so poor that she felt too embarrassed to pick them up.

I was joking☺
Maybe she was so high paid that she was better off not wasting the time because she could earn double doing her thing.

Maybe and I bet this explains it she wanted to go to the toilet and was really really in a hurry.

Me I would wet myself to recover five cents☺

I'm even the type to look in all the abandoned trolleys to find the lazy butt who couldn't be bothered walking the trolley back to get their dollar....

Again, all goes to the kids

Sorry Leon I missed this post and commented in haste with my reply to Mark.

She sounds like my type of girl...you know one that is not interested in money and presumably so well off could afford a high maintenance plaything like me,☺

If you want trolleys come in my neighbourhood. All the wheels are missing though. I reckon someone is going to open a shop soon "castor wheels r' us".

Who would work for anything less?

Plus you need to factor in wear and tear on clothing with all that bending down.
