Meh.
Walked past a fiver in the car park the other day because I couldn’t be bothered picking it up.
Legally speaking, never.
On a scale of oner to tenner I’d say about a fourer
This seemingly irrational statement has been rushing through my brain. Why would Ant be more upset at losing something of a lesser value that he also has no sentimental attachment to? My theory - It’s the equivalent of losing three things, so triple the disappointment in yourself. The brain’s not always rational!
It’s because I always forget I have cash on me if it’s a note so it’s basically the same as not having it whereas I need pound coins for my electric meter and so they are useful to me.
If you find a fiver on the pavement, no one’s around, you don’t know who it belongs to, what do you do with it?
I remember last year I got 50 quid cash back from a self service machine in ASDA and forgot to pick it up. That was pretty annoying
buy a pint, return to where you found the fiver, drop the pint
Had a big shouting match with a stall keeper who I thought had short changed me, giving me change for a fiver instead of a tenner. I was beyond irked, Proper red mist territory.
Pretty livid to be honest. broke and a fiver would help/.
Similar thing happened to me. I was getting some money out of a cashpoint machine. I was day dreaming and walked off as soon as I retrieved my card. I walked a couple of paces and realised - turned around just as the guy that was behind me was crumpling the money into his fist and moving his hand towards his pocket. He somehow managed to swiftly change his movement and make it look like he had every intention of giving me my money.
