Never Ceases to amaze (irk, irritate, infuriate) me

A few days ago, I was taking the jeep to school like I've always had. I saw this woman just about to get her change from the far she just paid. Midway through giving the change, the driver realized he overchanged her. So he took back 5 pesos thinking he was giving the girl 6 pesos in change when he just had to give her 1. What he didn't know and what I saw was that he mistook a 10 peso coin for 1 peso.

You know what the girl did?

She showed her friend the 10 peso coin, grinned, and then pocketed the money with nary a hint of guilt on her face.

Sheesh....

Whatever happened to common decency?
