'You Must Have Dropped This' A.k.a. A Little Help With The Pretense Of Dignity

By a friend • October 23, 2025

While I'm not wealthy, I'm finally in not-constantly-panicking financial shape and occasionally able to help people.

Today I was at the bank, noticed the customer next to me was having some difficulties... had been overdrawn, was depositing a money order, distressed that she couldn't get any of that money for several days.

So I slid some money to her on the counter, saying, "this was on the floor behind you, you must have dropped it" while emphatically nodding (it was obvious I had not bent down to pick anything up).

I don't know anything more about her situation, other than she was thankful. Hopefully she got some food and maybe gas for the car to get her to payday.
