i am neurotic.

When i go to the bank, i cannot put cash in the drive-thru teller tube. i fear it will lose suction and my money will be lost and there be no record of it. i am ok with checks however.

Whenever I see a homeless person, I’m uncontrollably compelled to give them at least $10. It gets so bad that I’m reluctant to visit the city out of fear I’ll go broke. One time I had five or six of them following me to the ATM because I ran out of pocket money. I felt like the Gorton’s Fisherman being followed around by cats.

I use a quarter flip to do most of my decision making from “should I go out tonight” to “should I quit my job.” I always trust in the quarter, for I believe if you do, it will give to accurate answers. I think if I don’t obey the quarter, something bad could happen.

“An Ohio man with a hatred of paper money slapped down $8,000 in coins at a car dealership to buy a Chevrolet pick-up – then paid the rest by cheque.”

i am chonically worried about losing my job. i wont buy stuff i need for fear that if i spend the money, i wont have it when the day comes that i need it.

My boyfriend has to have 4 quarters, 2 dimes, 1 nickel and 4 pennies in his pocket at all times after he gets dressed. He will not leave the house without this, and he will make change if necessary to keep this exact amount in his pocket at all times! A little neurotic I would say!!

When I pump gas I have to finish on the whole dollar with no cents. If I don’t then I have to keep pumping and will continue to do so until I hit the mark.

I have to have all the cash in my wallet in order of denomination: 1’s at the back and facing the same way or I become extremely flustered when trying to pay for something. I get even worse if they are backwards and not just upside down. Cashiers always give you change in the opposite manner with all the coins on top which sends me into a frenzy and I have to step aside and re-arrange everything properly.
