Fourth post of the year: The coin
Wed Jan 4, 2012 3:04:55 pm


During my lunch break I went out for a little walk. I saw a ten cent coin on the ground and I considered to pick it up, but then I decided not to do that because I thought it would be a bit difficult to stand up again and people might watch me struggling with that.

Tomorrow I'll have a day off. Yay!

I don't pick up any money less than a dollar unless I recognize that it's a rare coin, which has never happened.

I don't pick up found money, if I do I'll give it away. People need it more than I do.

I have not picked up money in a very long time. I think I would if I saw some.

Hm, that makes sense, but I give money to some people who need it more than I do and I also tend to put the cash refund bottles where they can easily pick them up (generally close to a garbage can)

I still have some. I think a lot of people do and a lot of them are also wishing that we would still be able to use them...

What about foreign coins? Would you pick them up? I generally try to keep them once I get one.

I think I am still enjoying/appreciating everything that is "free" due to the way I grew up. And money lying on the ground is free money to me.

Only if it looks very intriguing.

Preggo pride? It's quite tough to pick up anything with pride (preggo or regular pride) when you're already carrying a huge pumpkin and your lunch, you know.

What factors in your early childhood contributed to your appreciation of free things?

methinks prinny should try that big belly contraption that they strap to daddies-to-be and let him try to bend over and pick up a coin...

Being poor. Seeing my struggling a lot because of a lack of money.
