deird_ljWhile depositing money at the bank today, I discovered that someone had, at some point in the recent past, given me a 20c coin from Fiji, instead of an Australian one.
(20 cents from Fiji is exactly the same size, colour, and basic look as an Australian 20 cents. But it's not legal tender, so banks won't accept it.)
My first thought:
"Ack! Some bastard has given me the incorrect coin so that he could get rid of it! How horribly unfair! Stupid horrible person!"
My second thought:
"Hmm. Next time I have to give someone loose change, I'll have to surreptitiously hand them this one, so it can be their problem instead of mine..."
The irony didn't really strike me until a few minutes ago.

I love it when Iget a foreign coin in my change. I sort of collect them, not seriously, but I always think that I'm sorta meant to have them :-)
Weird, I know. But then, that's also sorta my dictionary efiniton :-)
Still under Willow & Tara's spell,
