Bumped into the $1.90 woman on my walk back home from the library. She didn't recognise me, but I recalled her big round spectacles, small ponytail and plump figure. She said, same as the last time, that she had forgotten her wallet and could I lend her $1.90 busfare to go home. I didn't tell her that I've met her twice before, and was conned into believing her the first time while I accused her of lying the second time.

This time, I simply said no and moved on.
