I wonder why I didn't just let you keep it? Must've been something of a disappointment, I'm usually a pretty good tipper.
DOH!

Donate it to Subsim?

I don't carry money loose in my pockets otherwise... and when I do put it there, it's supposed to remind me not to forget to do whatever it was I needed to do with it.
Reminds me of a favorite old Doctor Who episode. The TARDIS lands, and the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) steps out. He says something about some-doohickey-or-other being on the fritz, and he must remember to fix it. "I know! I'll tie a knot in my hanky!" He pulls the handkerchief out of his pocket, sees the knot that's already there, and says "Hmm. I wonder what that was for?"

I've never thought that made any difference. Being pwned is being pwned regardless of the pwner.

No, pretty sure that wasn't it.

I'd do that by check - if I'm walking around with a ten dollar bill in my pocket, it's either because I needed to give it to someone at work (if they're collecting for a gift or something) or pay it back to petty cash or the "pop jar" or else I was going to buy a roll of quarters with it on the way home.

But we're not collecting for any gifts and I don't owe anything to petty cash or elsewhere and I bought quarters last week, obviously with a different ten dollar bill. I must've been planning to do it earlier and forgot.

OTOH I found a dime and a nickel in the parking lot next to my car this morning so maybe the universe has just decided to shower me with free money.

I'm still trying to imagine what it would be like to get 30 (decent) beers for $10.
