Seeing a penny and picking it up
 
For how long does the good luck last? Is it just that day, or does it last longer than that?

I picked one up just over a week ago, and I've kept hold of it because good things have kept happening to me. If I now spend it, will my life spiral into a terminal decline, or will have its effects already worn off anyway?

Do you do that too? Everyone I've told that I do that looks at me as if I'm a nutter.

blunderbuss 09.25.2009 05:13 AM

Oh.

It's unhealthy to attribute fortune and fate to coincidental objects.

Because it puts the believer into a binary perspective upon their circumstances that often leads them to over valuate good fortune as well as bad all while obscuring the true origin of their circumstances as well as their own power to effectively change them.

money is filthy, don't pick any unnecessary bacteria, jeez.

pbradley 09.25.2009 05:38 AM

I know a few people that do it. I'm sure blunderbuss has it in perspective, I was just saying.

Not at all, but it's hours after my bed time.

But, true enough, it does provide some comfort to anxiety.

I bet you're a fucking riot at parties.

"C'mon everyone, let's have a conga!"
"I'll have no part of this sickening display, with your cod-alterity; did we learn nothing from the failure of the Saturnalia?"
[under breath] "Prick" [normal voice] "Ok, cool, Bradders isn't in..."
"Don't call me Bradders, I wish to abide by my full nomenklatura because..."
[interrupting]"Right you are Bradders - who else is up for a conga?"

pbradley 09.25.2009 06:04 AM

Don't call me Bradders, I... god damn it.

But, yeah, I suck at parties until I'm thoroughly intoxicated, and then I'm a hoot.

I found £16 on the floor in work last night. One pound coin, a fiver and a tenner.

I pick up every penny I see. I've been told by observers that I might be part Jewish. I call them Nazi fucks and pocket the change.

last weekend, it was a dollar bill. that's like 100x good
luck.

you touch random pennies but not elevator buttons?

wellcharge 09.25.2009 09:35 AM

i pick up every penny and then i put them in a jar.

i hate to admit this but i've gone on walks just to find them

floatingslowly 09.25.2009 09:38 AM

I have selective neurosis.

I'm over elevator buttons though....mostly.

sometimes I still use the Lil robot on my keychain to push them.

mostly, I just wash my hands constantly.

it doesn't matter at the moment since my house is a swine-flu reservoir.

mmm tamiflu.

notyourfiend 09.25.2009 10:39 AM

i like to pick it up and see what date the penny was printed.

Rob Instigator 09.25.2009 10:46 AM

I pick e m up. money is money.
waste not want not

plus sometimes youfind a very old one.

I carry a 1934 buffalo head nickle I found . it rules

floatingslowly 09.25.2009 11:01 AM

yeah 25 years ago, I found a misminted penny that was worth $125.
