We had several steal things (really, steal when things are practically given away?) and had a lady short change me. She gave me a $10, I was giving her the change and she insisted she gave me a $20. It went round and round and she started yelling, so I just gave her the extra change to get her to be quiet and leave.

I love a bargain but sometime I will just pay the extra money, to avoid the stress!
