Quick story from Comic-Con:

I jumped on a bus and swiped my metro card. "INSUFFICIENT FUNDS" it stated mockingly. The cost was $2 and I only had $1 on the card. After a second of disorientation, I opened my wallet to pay the additional dollar in quarters. No luck, my change pouch was empty. I then tried to hand the bus driver $2 in cash. She shook her head.

I sighed. Then, unexpectedly, an old woman stood up and looked at me wide-eyed. "Excuse me son...do you need quarters?" She had a warm expression, eager to help.

"Yeah!" I said excitedly, "I have cash but no quarters...much appreciated."

She nodded happily: "If you get off on the next stop, there's a bank a few blocks south; you can go there and get quarters."

I stared at her blankly. "Uh...thanks?"

Remind me never to take the bus again. I jumped out of it and hopped on a cab.
