So I was shopping at the Megamall with my sister and brother-in-law. We separated. I was at this sports-clothing store.
I walk in just as I see this woman fiddle with her purse and drop a penny on the floor. Without spending too many seconds, she looks at it ... and then leaves.
Now, I understand that it's just a penny; having one won't pay for anything or make me a rich man. I also know that there's been a lot of talk about abolishing the penny because it costs more to make than its given value. But ... it's a penny! It's legal American currency!! Also, I'm just floored that she just gave it a glance before leaving it behind like it had absolutely no worth whatsoever. She acted like it was a used-up piece of tissue she's leaving on the floor. It's not!!!
So I broke my policy of never picking up a penny tails' side-up because it's bad luck and, about ten seconds after she left the store, picked it up. No other customer in the store blinked an eye. And I haven't had any bad luck yet. Score one for me, I guess.
