In a hurry....
On your way to a very important appointment, you spot a dime laying on the street.
Do you...
The trouble with square meals is that they make you round.

I can keep a secret!
Re: In a hurry....
Of course, it depends on the situation, but I am more apt to stop and pick it up. Dime, penny whatever. There are so many people who will drop change and never stoop to pick it up. That's ok, it leaves more for me!
I agree with Anthony - 9 times out of 10 would pick it up depending on the situation. But I have been known to pass up a penny only because it's tail side up (it's good luck head side up) - depending on the mood I'm in. But most likely I'll pick it up.
I've also heard that if you see a penny it's an - so if I think about that when I see a penny tail side up I most likely will pick it up regardless.

Others always see me as being an extrovert but they mistake caring, being friendly, & opinionated
Re: In a hurry....
Yup.. Im another one... I'll stop on a dime... or a nickle, or penny!!
A penny saved (or picked up) is a penny earned...

You Might Not Guess: My age. I don't know if it's from clean living, lol, or just good genes, but the people in my family just look younger then they actually are.
Re: In a hurry....
The only time I won't pick it up, is if it's in the middle of the street. No amount of money lying in the street is worth the risk of getting hit by a car. Other than that, it's usually worth bending my back.
