The new "thing"
I went to the beach the other day and did some Mding.
As I was moving along some guy with his girlfriend threw some change in my path as he told her "watch this" as if something amazing was going to happen.
The thing is the whole feel of the situation was that he thought he was somehow belittling me to show off to his girlfriend. I just thought o.k. if he is gonna throw money away and all i need to do is scoop it then he is the idiot.
only 20 minutes later some teenagers were playing football on the beach, guys and girls. As I approached a girl in the game gave a nod to her friend sitting on the beach. Her friend came over and discreetly handed something off. I figured it was drugs or something. Then the game girl ran toward me and released three dimes into the sand in my path before changing direction. She tried to do it so that I would not notice but I saw the shimmer in the sun as she released them.
Now since someone had just done this earlier in an insulting fashion I figured that this was the same thing So I didn't even give them any pleasure in seeing me "detect" the change. When i got to the spot I just stopped and smiled at her as I scooped the spot that I had visually marked.
Anyway I just wanted to know if any one else has witnessed this. Obviously these girls have done this before as there was no verbal communication just a nod as if they agreed that they should do this anytime an Mder passes by.
Kind of silly. My whole take on it is that they get some kind of kick out of seeing someone "work" for thier pocket change.
I guess the joke is on me.
When gas hits $10 and there are no jobs available due to automation I guess the joke will be on them.
