We once had an office collection fund for a woman who has having a baby. I never carry cash, and told them this, as a way to cop out because I wasn't giving her any of my damn money (I'd never even met her). They cheerfully told me there was an ATM downstairs, and I cheerfully told them that ATM has a $2 fee which I will not pay. They left me alone. The guy at the cube next to me, meanwhile, was angry. I mean, visibly angry. He threw one dollar on the edge of his cube and said take it, that's all you're getting out of me.<br /><br />Keep in mind the woman worked in a department where we all knew she made more than we did. Why the hell did she need our money? They should have made an office pool for us.
