Give a dollar more...

Something fun to try... Whenever you find yourself handing someone money for some kind of exchange... give a dollar more than the total. I did this twice yesterday and I found it funny as hell. Let me explain.

I went out for lunch with my wife and daughter. We went to a fast food place. The total was like $16.27... I gave the girl $18. This totally put her math skills to the test. She was completely lost... I could literally see the panic start to set in. She didn't know what to do. After standing there for almost a minute, she realized that I gave her too much money and gave my dollar back with the rest of the change.

Second time... I went into a convenience store and got a couple bottles of water. That total came to something like $2.83. I handed the guy $4. Sure enough... confusion. He kept looking at the register, then looked in his hands, then back at the register, then at me to give him some kind of assistance... He was getting no help from me. After a little time he too realized I gave $1 too much and wiped the sweat from his brow.

I tell you, if you like to be entertained by stupid things... like confused people... you'll find this comical too.
