Did he spend any time in a prison or similar institution? Could have been from the soap dropping etc.

Even if it is a cent, you making €18 an hour picking it up!!

It takes say 2 seconds max to pick up a cent, so you making 30c per minute which equals €18 per hour. So every time you refuse to pick up a cent, your refusing a job which pays €18 per hour, 2 cent, €36 per hour, 10c €180 per hour, €1, €1,800 per hour, so basically by not picking it up, he was refusing a job that pays €3,600 per hour. :rolleyes:

crazy...

Its statistically proven that people who dont pick up the €2 coins the drop are 70% likely to be rapists

You don't have a video of that perchance? Would love to see that one.

You dropped €2.
Never Mind
WHOPP!

If its a 5c, sometimes. 10c and higher, I pick it up. If its shrapnel (1c & 2c), I never pick it up. Sometimes refuse it. Its bloody annoying.

cormie

You could be earning €36 per hour.

It doesn't matter that you don't have enough to pick up for that hour, it just matters that you have 1 to pick up and what you are earning is €36 ph for 2c. Not too shabby at all.

You're only earning 36 euro per hour if you're picking up 2c coins for the entire hour.... I don't think many people do that, most coordinated people might drop 2c once a week, or less.. which means, you're refusing a job that pays 2c per week/forthnight. Yeah, I think I'll take a raincheck on that one.

cormie

No, the actual job of picking the 2c up takes 2 seconds max. It doesn't matter that you don't have enough to pick up to last you an hour in one go. Your doing a 2 second job for a €36 per hour rate.

Yeah I know what you mean.. but... 2c man!

What if you throw your back out doing it, and end up permanently paralysed? Worth that for 2c?!

cormie

It's not 2c:P its a €36 per hour job!! hehe.

And for a €2 coin its a 3,600 per hour job;)

It's good for you too. Good excercise.
