I was out buying a smoothie for lunch today. I gave the counter guy a 20 and he pulled out a 10 and change for me.

"Look at how crisp this bill is," he said, holding the nice, new 10. And then he crumpled it. Rather enthusiastically. "Sorry, I just had to crumple it," he said.

"OK," I said and took my change, slowly backing away.

I still drank the smoothie, though.

new bills

As someone who works at at register all day, I'd like to point out that crisp, new bills are a nightmare. They stick to each other like velcro - unless you crumple them up, one at a time, and re-stack them. Which is what I do whenever possible.

Also, I like crumpling things. It's an almost-pervy tactile fetish.

Yeah, I know that bills can stick together if they're too crisp. But it was just his whole attitude. He was crumpling the bill *at* me, going for some reaction, but I never figured out my part in the exchange. Maybe it was supposed to turn me on. *g*
