Why People Are Special

At Hobertson's, buying aluminum foil (it makes a good conductor).

The guy in front of me has a total of $13.42. He has a $10 bill and a $5 bill in hand.

He hands the cashier the $10 bill. She says "Sir, the total is $13.42, you gave me ten dollars." He responds "No."

Both the cashier and I are looking at this guy like he's a little off. He pauses a second, then starts digging in his pocket with the hand not holding the $5 bill. After a minute he pulls out a different $5 bill and hands it to the cashier. At this point both of us are looking at the guy like he's just grown some tentacles. And not the nice anime kind of tentactles.

I almost thwacked him with my box of foil for wasting my time.
