People! Feh!

Neighbors had a yard sale this weekend. As a bonus to their kids they baked cookies and had lemonade and the kids sold them all for 25 cents each. They got to keep the “profits”, as it were. I was talking to the neighbor still fairly early on in the morning and he says that while he and his wife were busy with arranging and selling stuff and making change etc, a lovely person bought a cookie, then offered their six year old son a dollar for all his change (quite obviously more than a dollar - to a grown-up). The kid took it.

I’d love to go on a rant here, but I’m completely struck dumb by this incredibly immense show of dishonesty. The dude maybe managed a couple bucks. From a six year old. Wow. In change. Maybe he was going downtown and needed money for a parking meter.

What a bastard. Perhaps someone else more eloquent can work up some rage and do this person justice for me?

Kids just don’t know the value of a dollar these days.

God DAMN. When the lemonade stands are being hustled, we know the apocolypse is near.

Well, obviously the Lovely Person was a former Enron executive. :smiley:

They probably thought it was a cute little wink-wink trick to play on a kid. You know, like when you tell a kid you’ll give him a quarter if he can tear a leaf perfectly in half? Sure, sometimes the kid feels ripped off, but it sure is funny!

Well, ok, that’s kind of different since you’re not actually stealing from the kid…

I’m just sayin. Some people think it’s funny to mess with little kids.

Ah, to hell with it. Everybody’s just a bunch of assholes anyway.
