Wasting Money

Over the weekend, I walked into a CVS, and there was a panhandler asking for change outside the store. I didn't have any money on me, so I didn't give him any change. I spent some time in the store, and when I came out, the panhandler was gone. Where he was sitting, I saw a pile of pennies. There must have been fifty pennies there on the ground, and the panhandler was gone!

Needless to say, this aggravated me. He had just been asking for change, and then he leaves a bunch of pennies behind. What a waste of money! Pennies are still money, and anybody who is truly in need should understand the value of a penny. To sit outside a store and ask for money, only to leave behind a pile of change is wasteful and ridiculous.

It's like the time somebody stole all the change from my car...well, they almost stole all the change from my car. They probably got away with seventy-five cents in silver coins, but they left behind another fifty cents in pennies. Robbery, burglary...whatever you want to call it, if you're stealing because you need it, you shouldn't be TOO GOOD for pennies.
