Spare some change?
Over a decade ago, I was spending the summer in NYC during college vacation. One night, I hopped on the bus. To my chagrin, they did not accept bills, and I wasn’t carrying a metro card. The bus driver was unhappy but started moving the bus, because he didn’t want to hold everyone up.
Completely embarrassed, I turned to everyone on the bus and asked if anyone could spare some change, figuring they would all hate and ignore me. Much to my surprise, people were more than happy to hand me their spare coins until I had enough to pay for the bus ride. From then on out, I learned to always walk around with either a card or enough coins so that I wouldn’t need to press my luck again.
