No one told me there would be math!

I just had a quick brain freeze a few minutes ago. I was buying something, and the total came out to $6.05. I handed the cashier a five-dollar bill and a single…and for some strange reason I thought this was enough. I was convinced — even as she politely asked, “Don’t you have five cents? Don’t you have any change?” — that she owed me money, that she was only asking because she didn’t want the chore of making change herself from the register. It was only afterwards, once I’d left the store with my purchase, that I realized the very obvious mathematical error I had made.

Um, thanks for letting me buy something anyway! I promise to be less stupid the next time I come in there!
