Today I had this awesome day of driving around Miami, cruising new neighborhoods and discovering cool locations. It was very enjoyable... until, at one point, I found myself in front of a parking ticket automate. My ticket is $1.75. The automate doesn't give the change back, and I only have a one and a twenty dollar bill.
Trying to figure out what to do while getting a bit upset for having to face such an unnecessary complication at such a joyful day, I hear this person behind me telling to this other person behind me, who he is with, something like: "...yeah... let me just pay the parking first!".
Thinking how it's in the best interest of both of us that I get this over with as soon as possible, the first and only thing that came to my mind was to ask him if he could break the bill of 20 for me.
And so I literally turn to the guy and say: "Hey! Do you have some change?"
And so it happened. The day that Višnja asked the stranger on the street for some change!
Wroooong question!
Wrong person!
"No, I don't have cash. I only have card." - the hipster behind me replied (#nojudgin! You can easily tell a hipster when you see one!), with this hipster look on his face (we all know this "that-is-sooooo-2014!!" look). Of course he had no cash!
It did make me realize, though, that I too, stupid, have the invention of the newest centuries. So, I finished the transaction trying to act cool and ran my blushing cheeks down the street as fast as my rounded, 200-pounds-body, allowed me.
