Does Anyone Else Do This?

So I have this habit I guess that I have been doing as far back as I can remember. And it is whenever I get to much change in my wallet like dimes, nickles, pennies. I gather them up and throw them like out the window when I am driving, or on the street where I am walking wherever. And wanted to know if anyone else does this?

One of my best friends Greg, I did that in front of him awhile back and he was in shock and could not belive what I just did. Thinks I am crazy for just throwing money away. So if I have to do it in front of him I just give him the change, instead of just throwing it away. And whats even more funny is that his girlfriend I just found out does the same thing as I do. So it made me think I was not the only one. So was just wondering if anyone else has done it?

If I am out, and I have too much change, I pretty much do the same thing... it's change... I don't care about it, nor do I want to carry it...

Although, if I am at home and happen to notice I have any change, I just toss it in an empty pringle can and forget about it..

I keep every piece of change I get...And yes that does include the "not so cool" pennies! lol...I love pennies...If I see one on the ground I pick it up 1 more cent to making a dollar...Think about it if you saved all your change and then brought it to a bank that would put more money in your pocket.

you know what i do? i save my change for about a year and then throw on a pair of those pants with alot of pockets along with a jacket that has even MORE pockets. load myself up with change, strap a car alarm to my chest and then go downtown. the first bum that asks for my change is all of a sudden hit with the sound of my car alarm and i yell, "you hit the jackpot!" and then i proceed to empty my pockets of all that change i had saved up.

it's fun.

That's fukn hilarious!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!

I usually do something similar to Future Raver J-although if too much change collects up for too long (cuz I don't drive) ESPECIALLY pennies, I FUKN HATE pennies, I usually put them in something, and throw them in the garbage! Wish pennies would just go away!

i don't do that.

every time i come home from somewhere i empty all my change into this chupachups container i have. it's cool and metal and shaped like a milk can. anyways, the thing is almost full. last time i emptied it i had about $120 in change.. so no i'd rather not throw it out.

If I get pennies in my change I put them immediately into the "Take a Penny" doohickey... if there is none, I leave them in a stack on the nearest ledge to me. I don't keep my change in my wallet... it's loose in my pocket so it doesn't fuck up my back even more.

^ ^exactly. You'd be suprised at how much money you can save/make if you collect your change for a while. Too bad I'm too scatter brained to do it often enough, but I'm working on it. I didn't by that ceramic, high-top shoe piggy bank for nothing!

I have this thing for picking up change in the street. I'm not a supersticious kinda guy, but whenever I see a penny I pick it up - it's gotten to the point where I've convinced myself that that old saying "take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves" is almost supernaturally true. If I walk past a penny on the sidewalk and don't pick it up, I believe I will lose money in the near future.

*shrug*. Maybe it's coincidence, but ever since I started, I haven't once been broke.

I toss all my change into a jar at the end of the day and once the jar fills up enough (it doesn't take too long with loonies and toonies) I roll it up, cash it in, and spend the money on weed. The way I think about it, whenever I buy something and I get change, I'm paying whatever for the item, but I'm also getting some weed back with my reciept.

all you people who gave me Karma of Goodness for my post should pitch in a bunch of change with me and we'll go and do it up.

I hate change, and its annoying metallic "clink" when it's in your pocket and you're walking. I just dump it all on my dresser.
