Lady, Spare me a Change of Tone.

Non-improv, just for a moment.

I saw a guy outside 7-11 trying to make a phone call. He didn't have change in his pocket. A woman walked by. He said "Do you have any spare change?" The woman replied "Can you give me a good reason why you're not gainfully employed?"

Holy spit.

Why she had to take a simple interaction and turn it into a demeaning situation is ignorant and evil. Karma is coming to get you, lady.

Ok funny story.

Once upon a time I'm on my lunch break with two friends. We're walking to BPs on whyte. We pass a guy in a leather jacket walking out of swizzlesticks to his BMW. He reaches into his dress pants, frowns and says "do you guys have any change?"

Immediately we all say "no, sorry man" and avert our eyes and start to walk quicker.

Then we realize the guy is in the middle of a hair appointment and needs us to break a $100 so he can recharge his parking meter.
