Paid Members PunkStep Posted May 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'd agree with the OP, anything less than 10p I wouldn't bother. 5p pieces are horrible and fiddly and copper coins just smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Â It's an interesting social experiment though. For example most people would pick a 20p off the floor, but would they pick it out of say, a urinal? What if it was a pound coin?, a 2 pound coin? Where are the boundaries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWM Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I'm a tight fucker when I want to be so I'd be down there even for 1p. That said, I'm too proud to pick up any old coin I pass that I haven't dropped myself. I'd probably go for anything 50p and up though, even at the risk of dogshit/that-could-have-been-anywhere being on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buba3d Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 last time i bent down to pick up a 10p, some wee ned cunt booted me into a pile of cans of coke, so now i don't bother unless its 50p or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smegma Cake Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I'm a tight fisted git, but I still wouldn't bend over for anything under 10p. I have on occasion picked up 5p but only if no-one else is around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted May 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 12, 2011 If it's copper I don't bother, so anything above and including 5p I'd pick up if I dropped it, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DJ Kris Posted May 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 12, 2011 Might have wanted it to level his dosh up so he wouldnt have had to break into a tenner. That 2p might have saved him from smashing into a fresh 10 quid note. The possibilities are endless. This. Also worth saying when I was a glass collector in a nightclub I wanted some money for a day out so I picked up anything I saw on the floor, even 1p's. I managed to scrape together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovanist Pig Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 How much have you ever lost though? I've probably lost quite a bit of money that's falling out of my pocket. I remember losing a tenner that my dad gave me about 5 minutes before while in Tesco once (slipped out of my pocket). Some lucky bastard/bastardress had a nice picnic that day.

WU LYF 4 LYF Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I burst into tears once as a seven year old, after dropping a pack of softmints I'd bought my Dad for his birthday on the way home from the shop. My Mum had to go back down the tenfoot and find it (unless she just went to the shops and bought a new packet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted May 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 12, 2011 I remember my mum giving me a tenner to go to the shops with, and I had lost it before I even left my front garden. Never found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
