I’ve had a couple of incidents lately of me getting ripped off my change in money.
One time was when I was putting dimes in the vending machine. I
put in 10 cents, 20 cents, 30 cents, then I noticed that the machine
still says 20 cents. Being that I think I have a mild case of
alzheimers some times, I thought I just counted wrong. So I put
another dime in, but it still said 20 cents! So I press the change
return button, and I got only 20 cents back. Bastard machine!Another time was when I went to Vons to buy a stick of butter. It
cost me $2.19 so I handed the girl at the register a $5 bill and then told
her that I’m going to give her at least 20 more cents of change. So their change
dispenser brings out the one penny of change, she gives me the receipt,
says thank you, and takes off to the next register. I must have
had a stupid look, because I could have sworn that I still have $3.00
coming my way. I waved for her attention and told her that I gave
her a $5 bill. She looks at the receipt, starts punching numbers
on the register, and starts taking money out of it. I noticed
that she was getting money from the coin section, and I thought maybe
she was giving me $3 worth of quarters. But then she pulls out
two $1 bills. Gives me the change, says thank you, and goes off
again. I walk away thinking that there’s still something wrong, and
that’s when I found out that she gave me $2.81 this time. So basically
I’m still short $0.17 of change, but decided to just leave it alone.Later on, I come across another vending machine, and started putting
quarter’s in it. The machine for some reason refused to take my
quarters and it kept dispensing it out. But instead of the two quarters
I put in, I picked up three quarters instead. So I thought my
luck has changed a bit. I put a quarter in the machine, and sure
enough the machine took it, but did not register it. Thinking
about the earlier incident, I decided to press the button and get the
quarter back. No such luck.It’s almost like a sign from God or something….
What Is Your Love Number?

You
tend to be a stubborn lover, holding your ground in every argument. You
take your time falling in love. You aren’t the type to lose
perspective.You are loyal (to a fault), and you require the same
loyalty in your sweetheart. At your best, you are a wise and inspiring
partner – who sticks around.
