I paid for a recent transaction at the post office with a $50 bill. As the cheerful (kidding!) postal worker counted out my change, we both noticed some writing on one of the singles she gave me but neither of us paused to look closely. It was only after I got home that I carefully examined the bill. Henry helped.
Heads 
Tails What is the best thing to do with a defaced dollar? (By the way, defacing currency is illegal, so shame on you, whoever you are!) Maybe I should frame it, like some businesses do with the first dollar they earn. Or I could leave it as a tip at a restaurant where I’ve gotten really bad service, assuming I am close enough to the door to flee before the waiter sees it. I really could have used it about a week ago when I was dealing with a vendor who had provided horrible service and then presented me with a bill for nearly $5,000. It would have been fun to send the crap vendor this dollar and a check for $4,999. Or better yet, just the dollar, which is all they deserved.
UPDATED TO ADD: To those people who have asked me about Henry’s paw, thanks for your concern! Unfortunately, Henry is still having problems and will be wearing the e-collar until we figure out a way to relieve his discomfort. We’re going to have another surgical consultation soon.
I vote you send ’em the dollar.
haha woah, i like the tip for bad service lol
Aww cute dog!
I’d keep it in your wallet to show everyone how urban and edgy you are. You’re like the Lenny Bruce of getting change.
You made me laugh with this post 🙂
I think you should frame it;)
quite hilarious!
Hi Wendy-what a cheek to get such a high bill for atrocious service, poor you!! Regarding the bill, thats a tough one, if you hand it over to someone horrible, they may think you’ve defaced the bill in their favour and call the cops on you-yikes, you’d better be by the door or wearing sprinting shoes at least!!
Oh dear – I’d be tempted to save it for a tip!
LOL the post and Henry’s pictures made my day. I vote save it as a tip for lousy service.
That puppy is too cute! =)
Definitely save it for bad service.
Hilarious!! Definately save it for a tip 😉
heheh
that´s bad… 🙂
a kiss!
I hate to use “OMG” but I need to use “OMG” for this!!! How hysterical! You better call the U.S. Mint for further advice on whether to circulate, or not circulate!
I wonder if the person who did that originally wrote it on a big stack of dollar bills and then went out distributing them around randomly like a little negativity bullet, or if they had some specific purpose – like they paid off their ex-wife’s alimony in single dollar bills with angry stuff written all over them!
The dog is precious!
I can’t believe Henry still wearing that collar. Poor doggie!
Pugly, he will NOT leave that foot alone! Poor thing. I do take the collar off as often as I can, while I am keeping an eye on him. But he constantly tries to sneak off somewhere out of sight so he can lick the bejesus out of his foot.
I was going to ask if there was any way they could surgically add some sort of ligament-y material to his paw. I’m really feeling so sorry for the guy!
love how the post office is passing those f#*@k you bills around. hey, have you guys tried a homeopath for Henry? i know, a little too close to yoga and scientology, but we had a great woman from Chelsea Animal Hospital (I think?) who helped with our very sick cat.
poor Henry! get him some medical marijuana and wrap it in the dollar. or just a new vet?
So that was a good rant on the damaged note… some folks just have nothing better to do eh?
sorry to hear about Henry.
