Today, I realised how poor I am when I found myself fishing out a two dollar coin someone had left behind in a public toilet bowl. FML

youshitme tells us more.

Hello all ... I've just seen the comments on this ... There were quite a few comments assuming that since I fished out a 2 buck coin from a dunny, that I'd be an unemployed dole bludger. I've never been on any sort of welfare. The previous comment of Sydney being a very expensive city to live in was correct. I don't earn that much, generally between $700-$1100 a week, depending on how busy work is, but I've never been a 'dole bludger', I work very hard, thank you very much.

Just keep hanging around where the people shit money and you'll be OK.

Today, I realised I have to stop looking at FML while on lunch break. FML.

Put your hat on straight, you look like a douche.

Fred, shut up. That's how he prefers to wear his hat. How does it make him look like a " douche?"

Two dollar coin? I thought you were in Wales. Do they even make a two dollar coin? Not in America! I call bs.

He's in ******* Australia. and we do have two dollar coins here.

new south wales is a state in Australia... fool

Erm, New South Wales is in Australia, yes. But isn't Wales in the UK? How can it be related to America in either case?

Canada has a two dollar coin. probable not the first to comment that but I had too lol

New South Wales in Australia relates to the place in the UK the same way that New York relates to the city of York in England.

Zeb, you dolt. There is no such place as "England".

Are you telling me American Airlines ripped me off and sold me tickets to a place that doesn't exist?! Dammit!!

Doc, there is!! It's a theme park between France and Ireland! They have like these actors running around with oh-so-cute accents, and this old lady who pretends to be a Queen!

Doc, you dolt. There's an England. It's Bielefeld that doesn't exist!

Ooh! Someone that knows their German memes! I'm suitably impressed!.

why dont you try fishing in one of those coin foutains at the mall? once the cops show up at least you might have made a dollar..

I did that and found 16 dollars worth of change without getting in trouble!

I was thinking this exact thought when I read it. There is ALWAYS a better way to make a dollar than fishing around in a toilet!

and i'm from California, apparently the most overrated state.

Don't most Americans have trouble locating South America on a map??

i think you are confusing south america with a state in australia.

I kinda feel bad for ya OP, it's hard in the streets

did you have to unclog the toilet by hand to fish this coin out? hahaha

.. and then he mugged someone for all their school money.

You fish it out, you wash hour hand, you've made $2 in 45 seconds. Considering a simple job pays $6 $14-ish (depending on where you live and the value of your currency) for an hour of work that's not bad. It annoys me that people seem to devalue money just because it's in a dirty place yet they'll punish themselves psychologically with a miserable job for hours at a time for less of a deal. Think of it as a public service, if money effectively disappears down the toilet however small it contributes to inflation with zero benefit to anyone.

That two dollars will buy you... a pack of gum! Yay!!

He's climbing in your windows & fishing in your loos..
