Parada de colectivo

Whenever I'm standing at the parada de colectivo, and someone asks me for money or to swipe my bus card for them when they can't pay me back, I do not find the sweetness in my heart to respond in Spanish or grant them grace. I simply respond in the most redneck accent "I caint inderr stand uh licka what yer sayin." Sometimes I respond in broken Spanish with an Australian accent. And if I really want  throw a curve ball, I throw in a few numbers in German. And apparently this happens to me a lot. 

I've actually swiped my card several times, and I don't mind at all if they pay me en efectivo. One bus ride is $4.10pesos. They give me a five, and since they're at my mercy I cannot give them change. Basically, every five times this happens I get a free ride, minus the extra time I employ charging that money back onto the card. It's like getting store credit or frequent flyer miles.

At the same time, this is a small victory especially if you use the dólor blue value which is about $8pesos/$1USD. After all of this, I make a good $0.40USD. 

I'm heartless. And I evidently spent way too much brain power on this trivial occurrence. See you at the bus stop.
