Spare Change - Page 2

I have a tendency to leave it all in my truck, which in most cases makes the cup holders unusable. I was just thinking that my truck needed cleaned out, too.

Also makes getting tips rough. I carry groceries and get a LOT of "I'm sorry, I paid with my card..."

I save up change for years, and then go buy vidjeogamez with it once my jar is full ( usually about a hundred in the sucker once all is said and done).

I also enjoy saving dollar coins and half-dollars whenever I manage to get my hands on them, and then I go make a day of fucking with someone's till. I worked at a gas station, I know the registers aren't made with trays for those things and I love the look on the cashier's face when I bust out a sack of dollar coins and buy a fifty dollar game with them.

Edit: Or I just leave handfulls of change around the house when I want to annoy my wife

In Australia, the smallest change they have is 5 cent coins. Nothing smaller. And their coin sizes make no sense whatsoever.

You and I apparently do the exact same thing when it comes to monetary interactions. I only carry cash for travel, bars/going out with large parties to eat, and to pay for parking. I mean there are other instances when I use it here and there, but I prefer to use my debit card. And I also have a change bowl thing on the countertop where I drop off my phone and keys and things like that at home.

I often keep quarters separate for parking meters and laundry, as I don't have hookups in my apartment for my own machines.
