A beggar in a suit

Today when I was walking the dog, strolling actually, enjoying the surroundings and thinking about how beautiful Zürich is, I was approached by a man in a suit. This is of course no news to me, but it was surprising when he held his hand out, displaying coins. Oh, I thought, maybe he wants to change into a bill or something, but no. He stated that he had only 7 francs, and needed 8 for parking or something. All the while he had a 100-francs bill sticking out of his wallet.

But I gave him the one franc coin, and only after I realized that in most parking garages you can pay with cards.

I could smack myself for being stupid!
