    Has anyone ever superglued a coin to the pavement and then sat in their car to watch elderly people trying desperately to pick up the coin? Not me BTW, I think it's deplorable.

    yes

    2 euro coin is the best as the pound coin gone, best done on a laminate floory tho.

    Seen it on some of those hidden camera shows not that long ago and there was also one where there was a string tied to a dollar bill and people following it. :)

    The reason I'm asking is because of a strange sight that I saw to-day, an old lady was kicking at something on the ground, I assumed she had trapped a rat and was kicking it to death, the truth was much worse, someone had done a dartardly deed and superglued a two euro coin to the ground, she moved on in frustration so I watched for a few minutes to see what happened, a pattern emerged, every young person ignored it but every elderly person was attracted like a magnet to it, is this a sympton of old age or do they just like shiney objects?

    I used to live in a ground floor appartment in Ranelagh and the sitting room window was about 10 feet from the pavement. We superglued a €2 coin to the footpath and it provided weeks of laughter... Some lad got pissed off one day and came back with a hammer and took it along with a chunk of the footpath!

    Best joke ever. When I worked in Footlocker we glued one to the floor right at the entrance to the shop. It wasn't just old people who fell for it. The angry reactions of skangers were a sight to be hold.

    I did it years ago with a 2/- piece in the bathroom at home, great laugh with visiting relatives.

    During the summer I glued a number of coins outside the shop I work in. Watching people desperately try to pick it up has kept me entertained for the past four months. One old woman was so desperate for a two cent piece that she ended up putting her hip out, while another younger more inbred type spent nearly an hour picking and pulling at it before finally giving up.

    Sounds like something that happened to me. Was in America walking to the pub one night with two friends and there was dollar note on the ground, so naturally I went to pick it up as I was walking..but it moved as I went to grab it(wind i thought:rolleyes:) then it flew into a doorway on the right and there was two lads sitting on a stairs with the dollar bill stuck to a fish-rod laughn..I jumped/let out a bit of a scream, didn't expect anyone to be there!!:o:D

    No, but I've seen guys in a pub dropping a note beside someone, asking the person if they dropped some money, then pulling the note away with their foot as the person goes to pick it up. hohoho. I could afford to find it mildly amusing at the time because when they asked me, honest me said it wasn't mine :o

    Not a very exciting place to live, is it?

    I used to work in a hotel years ago and the chefs got great pleasure out of heating up a pound coin on the stove and leaving it on the floor where all the waiters pass by.
    Needless to say many greedy members of staff had a few blisters

    Reminds me of back in the 80's, in Bartley Dunnes. There was a 50p stuck to the floor, and it was hilarious watching people trying to get it. It was probably still there when they tore the old place down to make way for Break for the Border.

    Greedy?

    What do non-greedy people leave money on the floor!?

    That guy's just sick
