Do You Pick Up Things Off the Ground?

I do.

I almost didn't pick this up. Hsu and I went for a very chilly walk this afternoon, and we were almost back to our dorm when I stopped amidst the scalpers of basketball game tickets to turn over a small piece of sunshine on the ground.

The words on it made our jaws drop.

A post it note.

I did it a lot at school. It was weird because I'd pick something up, like an old pen lid or something and just put it in my pocket. Then I'd pull it out in lessons and just be like "Why did I bring this?" I pick up any monies more than 5p as well.

I took the "see a penny" motto to heart at Comp for a few months. Due to the loose pockets of my class mates I made over sixteen quid in the end on dropped pennies at all. Of course what constituted as "dropped" was quite liberal.

I pick up any coins, including 1 and 2p pieces. Every little bit helps. I counted over £8 this weekend.

(Most of it was, of course, from change.)

Uh sorry no, I already wash my hands far too much.

I pick stuff up all the time. My personal favorite was a notebook I found in Juneau, Alaska, but BJ made me put it back in case the owner came looking for it.

I pick up things all the time, once i was walking through a forest with friends and i found a digital camera by a tree in its case and in perfect condition

Also pick money up, its suprising how much money you can get even if its 2ps ans stuff

Yeah, I pick up any money on the floor that's more than 5p. Always comes in handy to have. I can't really think of anything terribly interesting that I've found on the floor lately. I don't obsessively pick up everything off the floor, but if something catches my eye I'll take a look.

well, it saved me time once.. a lot of time.

My phone was broken and i had no contact with my family at all, and they expected me to take the bus, but they didn't give me money -.-" .

Walking to the bus stop i notice a bus ticket on the ground. I pick it up and check the dates and it expiry. It was the last day for it and boy, was i lucky. it worked and i got to get home instead of walk ^^!
