Spare Change

I have been seeing an orthopedic for the chronic knee pain I have been having.  I had a follow-up appointment with him after I had an MRI done.  I rushed out of the house to attempt to get to my appointment on time.  As I was driving there I remembered that the doctor only takes cash or checks (who doesn’t take credit/debt cards these days?). I don’t carry any cash or my check book.  I remembered that there was an ATM machine in the hospital (that is where the doctor’s office is).  I had already taken my co pay out of this ATM, which wasn’t our bank, for the previous visit.  I didn’t want to pay the $1.50 again that the bank charges to use their ATM.  So what did I do?  I searched my car and found enough quarters to pay my co-pay in coins.
