That'll teach him
.
On Saturday past, I popped into the local newsagent's, on a whim, to buy a lottery ticket. I don't usually bother, but every now and again I try my luck.

While waiting in the queue, my foot kicked something on the floor. Looking down, I saw what I thought was a pound coin. I bent down to pick it up, intending to deposit it in the charity box on the counter (I always do that with coins), but the bloke in front had other ideas.

He glanced round to see what I was doing, and despite the fact he was standing there with a tenner in his hand, he announced,

"I think that's mine, actually."

I shrugged and handed it over. I then watched him smugly tuck his tenner back into his wallet and turn to the counter to ask for a lucky dip ticket. I then giggled quite loudly as I watched him attempt to pay for the ticket with the Spanish 50 cent coin I'd just picked up. His face was rather red as he dug the tenner back out to pay. I don't think it helped that I was still giggling as he stormed out of the shop.

The karma fairy still isn't my friend though. The lucky dip I bought with my honestly-earned quid didn't have a single number on Saturday night's draw.

Ah well.

All the better that you laughed at him, too.
I hope he fell over on his way home, so more people could laugh at him.

People like that need to be laughed at, its the only way they'll learn.

aww sorry
feels bad now that Ive posted that I found a quid and won.
after buying 2 tickets every week for years and only ever winning a handful of tenners.
I'm contemplating only ever using found coins now to buy lotto tickets ;)
