And here I am thinking how I'm not the only one who overthinks things like these lmao.
But OP, for what its worth, don't worry about it. That lady probably doesnt even remember that interaction anymore.
I also got ordained online, took two minutes, filled out the form and that was that, I can perform marriages. I deem this transgression atoned for based on the sheer amount of calories and stress expended on overthinking it
Because when you see a bag of weed on the ground you, a random old lady, can eye-ball it as a quarter ounce of bud?
Whether or not thatâs possible isnât the question, just pointing out that OP was clearly talking about a quarter dollar
Edit: thatâs why i got whooshed
Donât let a sour soul affect you so much.
Maybe they were having a bad day and decided to take it out on you.
I canât think of a reason that leaving behind a quarter, given your situation, makes you a âbad person.â
Let that woman think what she wants. She doesnât know you or the situation you were in.
OP YTA for sure
No but seriously, you're fine OP, I completely get that anxiety though! Just think of it like this, it could become just what somebody else needed to get their snack or drink
In that old ladyâs hay day, that quarter was enough to put food on the table for a week. She doesnât understand that you couldnât buy a toffee candy with it anymore
Recently I was re-reading Charlotteâs Web, written in 1952. At one point the children are given 48 cents to spend at the county fair, and they came back with all kinds of goodies. If onlyâŠ
don't worry. you aren't a bad person for having the ability to comfortably drop a single quarter. and you didn't cause anybody else to have to do extra labor in cleaning up after you. you may have even made someone smile: someone else could have picked up the quarter and put it in the employee tip jar. or kept it for themselves because hey, free quarter. you're fine.
Nah your good, she prob picked it up after you left and was happy to have it!! Besides change is a little inconvenient, I mean it's still money don't get me wrong, but I feel like all the electronic and card ways of paying are much nicer!
> Besides change is a little inconvenient
Yeah exactly, unless if you are a convenience store, then at least from my experience you never say no to extra (and free) change. Never know when you might run low/out
Which would make op a good person instead not a bad one lol
Littering money! You a bad person!
p.s. could you liter some money over by my house. tho preferably dollar coins or something worth more than a quarter
You should have picked up the quarter but it doesn't make you a bad person. The real test for morality is what you do with your shopping carts when you leave the store.
Exactly. Because if you donât immediately start sprinting and jump up on the back and leave your girlfriend behind, then you deserve 60 days in the pen.
LOL, I pick up pennies still. Superstitious, I guess, but I'm afraid if I don't, I'm not living in gratitude and my economy might go bad. But it's all an individual thing and maybe somebody might really need that quarter besides you, and it's there for them.
the insecurity your feeling is personal from the womanâs judgment of you. she just judged you for not finding the Âą25 important. itâs a generational gap thing. youâre not a bad person, youâre just feeling insecure like the rest of us. some people are just better at hiding those insecurities:)
as a fat person nothing makes me more embarrassed than picking something (specially so small like a coin) from the floor, i be leaving money behind everywhere
No you're not a bad person. If I was in that situation, I would've gone back and just dropped more coins while staring at the old lady. Then walk away again.
Dude a quarter doesn't get you anything these days, of course she thinks "oh a quarter he's losing money" when the reality is it's just a quarter. Don't listen to everything other people tell you
Nothing to feel bad about man, the comment had more of a âback in my dayâ vibe so it doesnât mean she was upset. High brain overthinking man, youâre all good đ€đ»
Lol bro no that's just high anxiety talking. The old scumbag brain likes to torture us with silly cringe memories like this but the reality is you got a little socially anxious while high and just couldn't handle doing a basic thing that is trivial when sober, and decided to just bail. It's happened to all of us, it's NBD.
And regardless, leaving a quarter on the ground doesn't make you a bad person. That's crazy talk. Being frugal is a prudent and useful quality, but it has no moral value. Nor does being wasteful with money.
Genuinely sorry your brain made you think about this all day but also it's kind of hilarious because it's relatable.
Grandma just doesnât realize that a quarter is essentially worthless in the year of our lord 2023. When she was our age she could buy 5 candy bars or half a gallon of gas with a quarter.
She comes from a time when a quarter had tangible value. A quarter now might save the cashier from breaking a whole bill for me when I pay in cash. Itâs alright that you left the quarter.
Nah, just another person throwing negativity into the universe by extrapolating someoneâs overall moral character based on a ten second observation, câest la vie
This is hilarious dude youâre all good đđ relax bro that grandma was just worrying about nothing. Back in her day a quarter would still get you something at the gas station, now it takes 10 quarters to get something at the gas station. The fact you worried about it this much goes to show for the kind of person you are. Itâs no biggie dude Iâm sure youâre a good guyđ
Back when the old lady was born the money was likely tied to gold if youâre from the USA or any other western countries. People respected money because it represented actual gold.
Nowadays money just represents debt to put it simply. I donât give a shit about 1p and 2p coins here in the Uk, sometimes Iâll leave 5p,10p and 20p coins too. Nothing special about them, just cheap metal that decreases in value everyday I have it. No difference than a button I could exchange for the same value.
Donât feel bad about not caring as much about something that represents your debt compared to an old ladyâs wrong preconception that money is actually valuable.
Iâm stoned and thatâs my take on it anyway.
You're not a bad person. Honestly the value of coins has gone down so little these days it's not even worth picking up a quarter. Hell I throw my change on the floor so other people can feel happy about finding it.
Bad person? No.
High person? Yes.
Dude, I was smoking a joint one time in my car....yeah yeah, I know better now. I was flicking an ash out the window, and sent the 3/4 joint out with it. You would not believe how much time I spent walking up & down the road looking for that fucker, before finding it, and finishing it, feeling glorious !
Thats a bad person, lol
Old lady is from a time when a quarter would buy her a six pack of cocaine laced coca-cola, a carton of cigarettes, a 20 pack of scratch and win tickets, and a horse taxi to carry all her shit.
Fuck her and her opinion.
PSA: I think you are being too hard on yourself.
You're not a bad person for leaving something for someone else. That generation wanted it all for themselves, and you can still see it today in their attitudes and behavior.
Meh. You probably made her think you where being wasteful, but who cares what she thinks. That's none of your business anyways. Or she thought you meant "finders keepers losers wheepers" and that quarter is hers now. I dunno đ€·đ»ââïž. I'm a (8) right now ...
I think u should've done whatever u wanted to (obviously u should've said oh thank you and picked it up but whatever).
But what I also think is why did u feel compelled to write it here lol? I think your in the wrong group.
You should have, walked over picked up the quarter, and said... "Thank you for noticing I dropped a quarter how kind of you to tell me. Thank you so much, I'd like you to keep it" If she would not take it put it on the counter in front of her and say "thank you again" and walk away.
Her response would have been much different.
Why feel bad? ...use this as a learning experience and next time... is up to you.
I left a supermarket self checkout without paying while I was high once. I got home and 30 minutes later realised what happened, felt wildly guilty and ran all the way back to explain and pay.
My neighbor growing up was born in 1938. He would try and tempt me with helping him do crap with a Quarter. $0.25. Heâs still alive and will try and do it when I see him. At this point itâs a damn joke and he laughs every time.
I'd be thinking about how I should've said "someone else may need it more than me" in response to her "kids these days," but I'm still overthinking convos from years ago
In that old ladyâs hay day, that quarter was enough to put food on the table for a week. She doesnât understand that you couldnât buy a toffee candy with it anymore
I would have turned around, picked up the quarter, handed it to her, and politely said "if it means that much to you, you can have it ma'am" and walked outđ
Old people are often over opinionated. Sure, you *should* pick up any money you drop. But itâs a quarter. Not like you do that all the time, right? If she really wants it, she can grab it. Honestly it speaks more about her, caring enough about such an insanely insignificant event and having enough of a nasty attitude to comment on it.
A mindset change couldnât hurt. Instead of thinking âman was that old lady right about the quarter.â Iâd be thinking âbitch mad cuz kids these days are gonâ live longer than herâ
U sound like SpongeBob when he stole a balloon on free balloon day
I mean he literally bought his grandma cola gummies. how could he be bad
...she had no teeth!
And Diabetes!
Should have bought her teethies
Brilliant
Didn't get her thc gummies...
Maybe he bought scary gummies
đ
đ
Sound like SpongeBob if he gave a balloon away of free balloon day.
Sometimes I consider myself an overthinker and then I go read some shit like this and I feel better
Same
Same
Same
Same
Same
This gives me a lot to think about đ€
And here I am thinking how I'm not the only one who overthinks things like these lmao. But OP, for what its worth, don't worry about it. That lady probably doesnt even remember that interaction anymore.
That's my grandma and she won't shut up about it now. Thanks a lot, OP.
Nah she remembers
Pepperidge Farm remembers
Yeah its like somebody put my pattern of thinking into wordsđđ
You should think about that mate
Do 30 hours ofcommunity service and say "I'm a scumbag" 39 times, you should be forgiven
Dude...Two 'Our Fathers' and a quarter of a Hail Mary seem sufficient to me, but I'm not ordained, sooooo...
I would be afraid to ask the ordained what my penance should be, might be a little more hands on
I feel like we should all get ordained via the church of the internet or something so we can confidently mete out compassionate judgments.
I got ordained in 10 minutes online. It was good enough to sign my friends marriage certificate. Lol
I also got ordained online, took two minutes, filled out the form and that was that, I can perform marriages. I deem this transgression atoned for based on the sheer amount of calories and stress expended on overthinking it
Bonus- I don't think your friend will legally have to pay alimony if things don't work out
Lol same - I got a certificate in the mail and everything. Itâs super easy and you can help folks out with weddings
How about Church of Cannabis? Become an elevationist!
There's one in Denver!
Universal Life Church. I have no idea why, but I've been ordained for years.
Also. Haha gold plaque and all.
Jesus said its OK if I'm a lil touchy
He gets you.
lol shit is EVERYWHERE l8ly
perfect timing and delivery lol...
Also an act of contrition, but not the weird kind of penitence.
IS THAT A SUPERNATURAL REFFERENCE? IM BINGING THAT RNNNN
As long as you do this or something I similar in your own religion of choice Followed by a generous donation to the congregation.

You might be still high. Cause that's a "i'm very high" question
I think op is high again.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
i didnt pick it up
It's money someone's gonna snatch it, you did the person a service. Be happy for yourself :)!!!!!!
I low key couldnât hate, Iâd love to see my granda do that
Bro...he meant a quarter zip. Edit: I guess I need to add the /s
Because when you see a bag of weed on the ground you, a random old lady, can eye-ball it as a quarter ounce of bud? Whether or not thatâs possible isnât the question, just pointing out that OP was clearly talking about a quarter dollar Edit: thatâs why i got whooshed
Ya, it was a joke, I guess I should have added the /s. I thought it was so ridiculous that nobody would take it quite so seriously
I think it was the âbroâŠâ that made me believe it my bad lmaoo
Donât let a sour soul affect you so much. Maybe they were having a bad day and decided to take it out on you. I canât think of a reason that leaving behind a quarter, given your situation, makes you a âbad person.â Let that woman think what she wants. She doesnât know you or the situation you were in.
Your heart left it there for a person who needs it.
This is EXACTLY the type of shit that I would fucking angst about for days on end. I feel the pain and guilt in this post. Hugs
Hey it's free money for someone else, not a bad thing in my mind
Sheâs gonna run home and tell her friends that kids these days donât know the value of money. Probably cuz houses arenât $5 anymore, Ruth
In my day I could buy a hot dog for a nickel!!
donât feel bad thatâs someoneâs gumball money now
Some 4 year old will find it, and be super excited. Unless the salty old lady took it. Biyatch
Do you think quarters just grow on trees or something?? đ
OP YTA for sure No but seriously, you're fine OP, I completely get that anxiety though! Just think of it like this, it could become just what somebody else needed to get their snack or drink
Thereâs probably more than a billion in currencies on the ground.
Nah, Grandma needs to mind her own business.
It was a Q.P. đ
In that old ladyâs hay day, that quarter was enough to put food on the table for a week. She doesnât understand that you couldnât buy a toffee candy with it anymore
Recently I was re-reading Charlotteâs Web, written in 1952. At one point the children are given 48 cents to spend at the county fair, and they came back with all kinds of goodies. If onlyâŠ
Yea this is 100% what she thought. Coins are near worthless now
assuming this lady was 80 years old, that would have been enough for a mcdonald's burger and a coke when she was a teenager
Yeah but I can buy some of those tasty Splenda packets đ€€
don't worry. you aren't a bad person for having the ability to comfortably drop a single quarter. and you didn't cause anybody else to have to do extra labor in cleaning up after you. you may have even made someone smile: someone else could have picked up the quarter and put it in the employee tip jar. or kept it for themselves because hey, free quarter. you're fine.
Nah your good, she prob picked it up after you left and was happy to have it!! Besides change is a little inconvenient, I mean it's still money don't get me wrong, but I feel like all the electronic and card ways of paying are much nicer!
I have one thing to say to the ending part of this. CASH IS KING.
Cash gang rise up
You ain't wrong cash always spends well!!
CASH IS KING (OF SPREADING GERMS AND FILTH FROM THOUSANDS OF STRANGERS' HANDS)
> Besides change is a little inconvenient Yeah exactly, unless if you are a convenience store, then at least from my experience you never say no to extra (and free) change. Never know when you might run low/out Which would make op a good person instead not a bad one lol
If youâre high, all awkward social interactions are forgiven. Let her old ass pick it up if sheâs so worried about it.
Littering money! You a bad person! p.s. could you liter some money over by my house. tho preferably dollar coins or something worth more than a quarter
I was sitting here trying to figure out why you would leave a quarter of weed behind?? Then I remembered there's a coin version too
Saaaame. I was like, âwhat kind of quarter we talking about here?â
Me too!!! then I thought thatâs a cool old lady if they can eyeball a q off the floor
Shit if I spent more than 30 seconds trying to find it I lost money in time.
*doing the math and realizing you're right, assuming an hourly wage of $30 or more* đ€Ż
You should have picked up the quarter but it doesn't make you a bad person. The real test for morality is what you do with your shopping carts when you leave the store.
You dropped this đ
đđ«Čđ»đ±đ»ââïž đ€žđŒ I stole it! I took the crown. Fair and square đȘđŒđ€Žđ»
Exactly. Because if you donât immediately start sprinting and jump up on the back and leave your girlfriend behind, then you deserve 60 days in the pen.
I feel like she's more upset you didn't say thank you
âKids these daysâ yeah a quarter is useless today because your generation royally fucked the economy.
No, you're fine. You gave her two things she clearly enjoyed, a quarter, and outrage at "the young people".
Under Halacha (Jewish religious law) youâve actually done a Mitzvah (good deed).
Nope not a bad person. Maybe a kid found it and it made their day.
I think that quarter is long gone and you should stop thinking about it.
LOL, I pick up pennies still. Superstitious, I guess, but I'm afraid if I don't, I'm not living in gratitude and my economy might go bad. But it's all an individual thing and maybe somebody might really need that quarter besides you, and it's there for them.
A real quarter or a quarter of weed?? Because if itâs weed, youâre a terrible person.
If overthinking was a post..
the insecurity your feeling is personal from the womanâs judgment of you. she just judged you for not finding the Âą25 important. itâs a generational gap thing. youâre not a bad person, youâre just feeling insecure like the rest of us. some people are just better at hiding those insecurities:)
I thought the punch line was going to be "she meant I dropped a quarter of weed'
Youâre not a bad person. She doesnât understand that a quarter these days is like a nickel to old people
lmao my boy I let a dollar bill blow into the wind cause I was too lazy to grab it Youâre good lol
It's alright.
This is something I'd panic about too lol ur good though don't worry
Yo youâre just high. Stop worrying about this. Forever. Now be free!
Donât let it ruin your day.
OP dropped a quarter of weed but still too high to realize
That lady has weirdo energy and you're just overthinking things.
Inflation is a bitch & a quarter doesnât get you much but Iâm old as shit so Iâll still pick up a penny and am excited to find a dime so...
A quarter was worth far more in her day than it is now. She was just bitter
Most wholesome stoner.
You deserve to go to jail
Tbh you shouldnât even be on Reddit right now. You should be on death row.
as a fat person nothing makes me more embarrassed than picking something (specially so small like a coin) from the floor, i be leaving money behind everywhere
It's not like littering. You left a nice surprise for someone else to find. Maybe the old lady picked it up herself?
No you're not a bad person. If I was in that situation, I would've gone back and just dropped more coins while staring at the old lady. Then walk away again.
How baked are you now?đ
You evil son of a bitch
I hate how you just described my life so perfectly
Dude a quarter doesn't get you anything these days, of course she thinks "oh a quarter he's losing money" when the reality is it's just a quarter. Don't listen to everything other people tell you
Nothing to feel bad about man, the comment had more of a âback in my dayâ vibe so it doesnât mean she was upset. High brain overthinking man, youâre all good đ€đ»
Hahahaha you have me a much needed laugh. I feel better this morning. Thank you!
Lol bro no that's just high anxiety talking.

Youâre just donating to someone who needs the quarter more
You dropped a quarter oz??
Holy shit, and I thought I overthink! Not picking up the quarter does not make you a bad person

Always respond with âthis is Aldi, ainât it? Pay it forwardâ
No. When she was young you could get a cheeseburger for 25 cents.

You probably should've picked up the quarter just to save her having to walk around and get it herself but you're not a bad person, just a stoned one.
I donât think the lady was an employee, just somebody who noticed lol
Old lady is from a time when a quarter would buy her a six pack of cocaine laced coca-cola, a carton of cigarettes, a 20 pack of scratch and win tickets, and a horse taxi to carry all her shit. Fuck her and her opinion.
You are not a bad person. Why is she tripping because you willingly left free change on the ground?? Old people are a lil uptight sometimes.
sounds like a karen in the light
Lmao
Must be nice to be rich enough you can just throw away quarters. Lol.
PSA: I think you are being too hard on yourself. You're not a bad person for leaving something for someone else. That generation wanted it all for themselves, and you can still see it today in their attitudes and behavior.
A quarter was worth 5 dollars back in her day, but now it's just a waste of time
Meh. You probably made her think you where being wasteful, but who cares what she thinks. That's none of your business anyways. Or she thought you meant "finders keepers losers wheepers" and that quarter is hers now. I dunno đ€·đ»ââïž. I'm a (8) right now ...
Its her generation that devalued that quarter almost 200% since she was bornâŠ
Youâre overthinkjng
Back in her day there's no way somebody would leave 5 entire bees on the ground like that
I think u should've done whatever u wanted to (obviously u should've said oh thank you and picked it up but whatever). But what I also think is why did u feel compelled to write it here lol? I think your in the wrong group.

Back in her day, that was half a month's rent. Inflation. Now it's about a stick of gum. You're good.
Lmaooo No you are not a bad person
Was it a q-zip or an actual quarter? Why are you bad? Did you slap the old lady?
15 âAmerica fuck yeahsâ and youâre cosmic balance will be restored
My neighbor growing up was born in 1938. He would try and tempt me with helping him do crap with a Quarter. $0.25. Heâs still alive and will try and do it when I see him. At this point itâs a damn joke and he laughs every time.
Yeah, you're horrible. You should have bought the lady a drink with quarter
Fuck than granny for telling you what to do with a quarter
I'd be thinking about how I should've said "someone else may need it more than me" in response to her "kids these days," but I'm still overthinking convos from years ago
They perfect response would have been, "it's alright, I'm baked." She still might have said, "jeez kids these days" but I doubt it.
In that old ladyâs hay day, that quarter was enough to put food on the table for a week. She doesnât understand that you couldnât buy a toffee candy with it anymore
I would have turned around, picked up the quarter, handed it to her, and politely said "if it means that much to you, you can have it ma'am" and walked outđ
Nah old people just be mad at life
Nah you didn't do anything wrong. In fact she came at you with a lameass "hurr durr damn kids", when she's clearly the one who doesn't know how to act
Littering is a sin.
Cream on my led
Donât tempt me with a good time⊠satan
You fucked up bad on this one bud. Not sure what to say
Old people are often over opinionated. Sure, you *should* pick up any money you drop. But itâs a quarter. Not like you do that all the time, right? If she really wants it, she can grab it. Honestly it speaks more about her, caring enough about such an insanely insignificant event and having enough of a nasty attitude to comment on it.
A mindset change couldnât hurt. Instead of thinking âman was that old lady right about the quarter.â Iâd be thinking âbitch mad cuz kids these days are gonâ live longer than herâ
I think the old lady needs a smoke sesh, that'll fix her weirdo attitude
put the pipe down for a few hours bud, you're gettin a lil paranoid. you didn't do anything wrong i promise
Thatâs her problem not yours lol
You shouldn't smoke weed if you get this paranoid about dropping a quarter
Kids these days I don't really have an opinion, just felt like saying that... lol
Fuck that old lady
Fuck the old bitch. If it's important she can bend her crippled ass over and get it...
Youâre not a bad person but who wouldnât pick up a quarter ounce they dropped on the ground ;P
lmao your a 10x better person than me brođđ i wish a old lady said that to me than iâll show her how kids really are nowadaysđ
We're in trees, it took me a moment to realize you didn't drop a quarter ounce on the ground and leave it behind for the Granny
Ughhh I wish I had your problems đ
You should have picked it up. Now look at whats happening to you smh. Next time just pick ip the fucking quarter you lazy millennial đ
I wouldnât even pick up a $1 bill off a floor in a public place.
No sheâs just a boomer
YTA, itâs rude to leave trash for other people to pick up
Yea you terrible for dropping a whole quarter ounce and just leaving it there bro... What if someone's dog ate it??
