Ha my mom got one like that many years back for a dollar.

She was so mad she sent the payment in with the dollar stapled to the remittance form. She put about 100+ staples through it so the agency had to spend more than a dollar labour removing the money.

Wait how do you staple a coin? Or was it back when dollars were bills?

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

Bills...thus the many years back disclaimer. But fastening a coin would be next level disruption

I like your mom. Is she single?

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

She is. But I warn you your day will be spent playing scrabble where you will lose every time, and listening to stories about: a former neighbours ex, who got remarried, and had kids from a previous marriage, that mother's was name Jill...but the last name isn't coming to me...I will email you the name when I remember, well one of their children went to Spain where they fell a bit billious on times, probably the water was suspect or maybe a server hadn't washed their hands, you know being sanitary is not like it was when we grew up, even hospitals did daily cleaning with dettol and bleach back then but not now, they just do a lick and a promise now and its no wonder people get sick so easily, so anyway Jill's child in Spain met a nice young man, a good complextion too, most Spaniards do have a great colour, especially if they wear a linnen suit it really brings out their tone. I always fancied a Spanish man but I wouldn't get on with their language, even though I did well at Latin lessons in school.

All day...
