random moment in the life of me

[blackheisei]

I had to make some copies today. no big deal, there's a copier across the street. When I got there, I found out the copiers only make one copy at a time, no matter how much money you put in. I had no dimes, so I went to the little help desk lady.

Me: ::hands over 2 quarters:: Excuse me, can I get change for this in dimes?

lady: Sure! you wanted dimes you say?

Me: ::watching her count out nickles:: Yeah...dimes. for the copier.

Lady: ok! here you go! ::hands over ¢50 worth of nickles:: Have a nice day.

Me: ...um...thanks.

I really couldn't think of a polite way to say "hey, idiot. I asked for dimes. these aren't dimes".

ah well, at least the copier worked.

Uh... maybe she was out of dimes? O.o

I can only hope so. still, you'd think she would have *said* something! I was really amused though, and I'm not sure why.
