OK, I figured this out when I was a little desperate! Have you ever waited in line at one of those busy automatic toll booths, and then got all the way up to the front to find that you do not have enough change. Of course, this will happen after you have already cursed at 2 or 3 drivers ahead of you for the same thing!
Of course, it is more likely that you did toss in the correct change but your normal pro aim is off. In this case, you missed! Instead of the required $1.50, you only tossed in $1.25 and you do not have another quarter. You have options. One is to honk your horn until the harried clerk 2 lanes over makes it to your lane. Then you will probably have to fish out a driver’s license and leave your name and a promise never to short the toll road authority again.
Well, I was in just such a situation. However, I decided to open my door and see if I could find the missing quarter. Guess what? I saw a couple of bucks worth of nice and shiny legal tender. Of course, I only scooped up my (or somebody’s) missing quarter. I mean, I am not advocating theft, but it is a great comfort to know that you can find an extra quarter on the ground by the automatic toll machine!
Anybody else have any bizarre tales of the cheap?
