Comments of the week:
- This week I wrote a post about about Toll roads, rental cars, and billing in which @claire wrote “Normally rental cars have toll passes built in, but on a recent trip in the US (I’m based in Canada), I somehow ended up on a toll road without a toll pass – failure to accurately follow directions avoiding a toll was my fault entirely. I’m in the US enough that I always have USD cash, but the machine required exact change. So I’m digging through my purse, sorting out US coins from Canadian (yes, the machines can tell the difference), and…I dropped my wallet on the floor of the car, at night, with cars starting to line up behind me. I scraped up all my change but was still somehow 10 cents short, so I continued digging around under the seat with cars honking. Eventually the person behind me walked up to my car and gave me the dime. I was mortified and next time will just blow through the toll pass lane and work out the fine later.”
Readers, chime in with what’s on your mind! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
