So we went to the drive-thru yesterday. We know what you are thinking, “So what Lisa and Jen, everyone goes to the damn drive-thru….get on with it.” Well , our experience was a bit different than the usual go around. When we were almost to the window, an old lady in capri pants with flip flop embroidery on them (we know, that alone could be an awesome blog topic on its own) stepped out of her car and said, “Can you please hold on, I dropped my change.” Well folks, it was two cents…that’s right two cents. But she was a smart old lady, while she was out there, she picked up other people’s missing change, too. This could be a new part time job for her.
While we are on topic of old ladies and their coins, don’t you hate getting stuck behind them in the store. They have those stupid little coin purses. Their old, little arthritic fingers cannot get the coins out of the coin purse. Geez, we are just trying to get a bottle of vodka and she is digging and digging for 20 minutes. First, she grabs a coin, then a button, then another coin, a piece of lint….and so on. OMG, we need vodka, it almost makes us want to pay the bill for her to move her along.
Now the grandchildren of these crazy old ladies are the people who write checks or use their debit card for under $1. WTF?!?!? That is truly all we can say. You are a total crazy, moron. We don’t get how you can’t be embarrassed when you balance your checkbook at the end of the month. We would be embarrassed in front of the cashier. We think that you shouldn’t use your card for less than $5. Buy a couple packs of gum, add a magazine, airplane size bottles of vodka….anything to get it over $5.
We don’t really know who the biggest moron is here. The insane drive thru coin gather, the crazy coin purse lady or the idiot with their checkbook or debit card.

ReplyDeleteSnort. I have actually done this (though not while buying vodka), under the guise of the whole "pay it forward/random act of kindness" thing, when really I was just damn tired of the slowness and needed to move things along. LOL
