I walked all around doing errands after work, all the while stopping in at every convenience store/gas station, to buy some trifle, so that I could load up on quarters to do laundry once I got home.Could I have just gone to a bank and asked for change? Probably, but I don't like going to banks.So not only did I have a bunch of stuff I didn't really need, 3 packs of gum, a stack of used comics, a car deodorizer, but I was also walking around with a growing mass of heavy coins in my pocket.Finally, I get home, gather my dirty clothes, separate, put them in my laundry bag and go down to the basement laundry room in my building. I load the washer, sprinkle a cup of powdered soap on top and put my coins in the slots. I close the washer door, and shove the slot forward to get the machine going. Nothing. And the damn thing ate my quarters.So I take all my clothes out of the washer, shaking each item so as not to get too much detergent in the bag and head over to the laundromat three blocks over. Where I get $5 in quarters.

"Okay, now I want to know: You guys know as well as I do that it is almost impossible to find a parking spot in this city. I know that these cars are, technically, parked to close to the street corner, but do you actually fine them, even though they don't bother anyone, let alone the traffic?".
Parking guy 1: "Yes. You have to park beyond this line in the sidewalk", and then he pointed to a decorative and paper-thin line in the tiling.
Me: "Surely that can't be right. I don't particularly having seen such sidewalk decoration anywhere else than on this particular street corner".
Parking guy 1: "Oh yes it is. If you don't park behind that line, a fire truck won't be able to round the corner!"
Me [baffled]: "I never heard of that 'rule'".
Parking guy 1: "Oh yes".
Me: "But the law says that you have to park 10 metres from every street corner, so whydon't you fine the guy parked behind him, too? He's only like 5 metres away from the corner".
Parking guy 2: "We try to be reasonable. We are not trying to punish people for no reason".
Me: "Of course not, but when can I know if I have parked illegally?".
Parking guy 2: "You can count the cobblestones. There has to be 12-15 of them between the corner and your car".
Me: "Say what? That's not even close to 10 metres, more like one or two".
Parking guy 1: "We try to be reasonable".
Me: "So I guess that I just have to park and then pray that whoever of you guys comes by have the same parameters as myself?".
Parking guy 1: "I guess so".
That was fucking surreal, I tell you.

I get into the elevator with my boss -- a 68-year-old Jewish lawyer who is fairly dapper and charming -- and Richard, another older lawyer who is friends with my boss and looks kind of like Larry David.
A nice-looking, stylish 60-ish woman gets into the elevator.
Richard: I always wonder why men don't carry handbags. That would make life so much easier.Woman: (something like "well yes I suppose so")Boss: And that's a very nice handbag, by the way.Woman: Oh, well thank you.Boss: And a lovely necklace too, by the way.Woman: Well thank you very much.Richard: I think my wife just gave a handbag like that to the Salvation Army.
