When you are walking down the street and you see a penny lying on the ground do you pick it up?

I always do and throw it in my penny jar at the end of the day, but I was talking to someone today and they said that not only don't they pick up pennies they throw the ones they do have on the ground. Which I suppose is when I pick them up.

Anyway, are you willing to pick up a penny?

This is the second random question I have asked today...I hope I'm not turning into Paisley

HEY!

Ok...a penny is like one cent, right?

I don't think I would bother picking up one cent...maybe 20 or 50 cents.

I knew you were gay, so you would pick up on 50 Cent.

50 cent

only if it's heads up

, but I picked up a dollar I found in the hall today at work ... and stuck it in my book like a book marker. Then again... last week I had a $50 dollar bill in my pocket (at work) and due to the papers I gather throughout the day... I lost it. I wonder who the person was... who wouldn't fess up to finding it.

~Oh well... easy come, easy go.

OMG lovemachine, I was contemplating starting this very same thread and you beat me to it.

I always pick up whatever pennies, nickles and dimes that I can find. Occasionally I even get lucky and find a quarter.

On the very first of this year, I started saving all of the spare change that I have been finding. I'm curious to see how much money I'm able to find by December 31st. I love finding and picking up spare change, for some reason, it makes me happy.

I was walking out of the store the other day behind
a man who was unloading one of those machines that
turn all your loose change into dollar bills.
He had a good size box, placed it on a dolly, and
headed out of the door.
Each tile that he hit caused the box to bounce and
a handful of change fell out...he kept walking, leaving
a trail of change...
When I passed him outside, I asked him if he loses his
change everytime...he nodded YES, and said it didn't
matter to him...

Maybe I should quit my job and follow this man around!

Damn, I would be happy if that were to happen to me. Imagine following someone around who was spilling change and didn't care. :Lol:

Yes I do and have done since a child.

Find a penny
Pick it Up
All the day
You'll have good luck

So I guess itr is just habit

..

a penny saved is another penny that one can use

to pay for web time in an internet cafe

or another penny saved is another penny closer

to hard liquor

..

I hate pennies. They pile up in my wallet and I put them in a jar and NEVER remember to cash them in anywhere.

I don't pick up pennies.


PS- Hey Lovemachine! I haven't talked to you in a while.
