I'm becoming more cynical

Popped out for a quick lunch yesterday and walking down a busy swanston st, I noticed a $10 note, neatly folded length wise, lying on the road.

I was the nearest person to it and it looked like a complete note, but my first reaction was to keep walking.

I don't know whether I was thinking it was a 1) TV Prank 2) dodgy note

But further analysing my immediate reaction, I realised that it was pure cynicism - I figured, that there's no way, on such a busy street, that this note wouldn't have been picked up earlier.

Maybe it's also because it was $10, and it was folded lengthwise. If it was a $50 or a $100, I might have been more inclined to risk looking silly.

But yeah. I'm definitely becoming more cynical. I'm sure I'll be yelling at little kids in the park soon, calling them whippersnappers and such.

*sigh*
