My bicycle competitor is also a dumpster diver. I'll try to get a reference on that 75%. I'm going to post soon on learning theory and finding coins. "Modeling" will be featured and my belief that others are learning to model my behavior and are checking my coin hot spots.bleasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117557746170305645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526582242783946817.post-28519981581334550892009-04-29T16:51:00.000-07:002009-04-29T16:51:00.000-07:00I have been meaning to ask you about these situati...I have been meaning to ask you about these situations that you have written about. I, too have had differing reactions from people who are aware of my regular routine. Some have pointed to a coin that I might have missed, others have asked me not to return. I also honor that. Mostly I do not come in contact with any of them because I am out early enough in the morning that the businesses are not open yet. <br /><br />I will admit that one time I had a little run-in with a person who got unnecessarily nasty with me. His attitude was way over the top. The guy had an extremely large girth so I smiled and told him if he wanted his penny back he would have to chase me. I ran. He didn't. It was in a different city so I wasn't worried about returning. <br /><br />As far as salting, if they throw them down I'll pick them up. And I'll be laughing as I count them!<br /><br />I'm a little skeptical about the 75% who said they would pick up a coin. I wonder if they really would. And they would have to *see* it first. <br /><br />I know of only one active moneywalker that crosses my path. If I am late getting out there is a good chance that he will have *scooped* my good spots. This guy is a dumpster diver as well, a sport that I have yet to take up. (My daughters threatened to take away my shoes if I did!)<br /><br />It is nice to have someone to talk to about all of these important issues that we face on the streets each day!
