An early sign of aging?

[ShadowHM]

My wife does this, and it makes me angry. She'll root around in her purse forever trying to find whatever pennies, nickels, and dimes might be laying around in there so that she gets less change back. The cashier can never figure it out and it always holds up the checkout line.

Me? I usually pay by debit card or credit card. Otherwise I'll just slap down bills. If I get change back, it goes into a big jar I have on top of my fridge. I clean it out and roll the change every year or so and buy a case of beer or bottle of scotch for myself.

I am getting old because I am really starting to obsess about my lawn in the summer and how clear my driveway is of snow in the winter.

:lol:

In my family, I am the one who roots around for the change that will reduce the number of coins that come back. And my husband is the one who keeps slapping down the $20 bills. So his pockets wear out all the time and mine don't. :rolleyes: And yes, he also eventually rolls up the coins and buys something that I am perfectly entitled to share with him too. :P

I am getting old because I am starting to seriously consider a life without either driveway to shovel or lawn to manage. I don't feel like spending energy on either anymore.

P.S. I still get a kick out the look of surprise on some cashiers' faces when, after counting out the change that I gave them and inputting the total to the cash register, they find that they get to hand me a single quarter. :whistling:
