Why would I check money? Is that a serious question?

Look people, here's the deal. I don't "check money" what I do is I end up with some change at the end of each week. I don't like carrying a pocket full of change so I throw it in my luggage, just like I have done for over 100,000 miles of traveling in the last 10 months.

I don't want to spend one second longer in security by putting a bunch of change in a bucket, which holds people like me up so I put it in the luggage compartment.

Is it my fault it is in there, and that I rarely take it out? Of course it is, but do you think that is free license for just anybody to take it out? Didn't think so.

Look, it's my mistake assuming that TSA or some greedy Canadian would be cool and not steal my money, and I can live with that, but why can't I bitch about it too without putting up with you on top of it?

Nobody every took the money in there before, now they have and now I am mad, end of story for me, but you have to try and be funny be asking me why I would check money?

Do you understand basic concepts? Do you get that after all of this time, I just may throw the change in there, and forget it's there and as long as I don't have a pocket full of it, I don't concern myself with it?

Do you understand that when someone steals my money, it makes no difference that I shouldn't leave it in my bag, because people shouldn't be STEALING MY GODDAMN MONEY! Do you get these concepts at all?

Don't come here and talk as if I said that I put $20,000 in unmarked bills in my luggage and I am shocked that someone would steal it. I have a compartment with a bunch of change, and a bunch of other misc. stuff, and some ******* decided to give him or herself a tip that day.

If you put money in your pocket, and you grab something in that pocket and some of your money falls out and I pick it up and put it in my pocket what happens? Am I the ******* for not telling you that you dropped some money, or are YOU the ******* for not paying attention.

Don't answer, because the answer is that I would be the ******* for not giving it back. Now, I understand this scenario is not the same as mine, but to make a point of the big picture which in this case is STEALING, you see that I am not mad because I am stupid, I am mad because it's bad enough that my bag is tossed around with no regard, and someone stealing money is not cool.

As far as "loose change" yes, I do consider $40 loose change. That's not because I am rich, it's because it's money that I forget about, and it is in the form of quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies, so it is loose!

If I pull out 2, $20 bills do you think I consider that loose change? Of course I don't, so don't take one remark and make it out to be what you want it to be!

This is not some song that is open to interpretation, it is a comment posted by someone who flies a lot, and there is only one meaning here.

That meaning is that no matter what you or anyone else thinks, my money is MINE no matter where I put it, so when some ******* steals it, I am by nature going to be irritated.

Argue your point all day if you want, you won't change my mind, but I understand your need to feel superior over me by thinking that your comment about me will make me feel like some kind of idiot.

You people just flat out do not get life, and simple concepts such as "The big picture" because you can't see past the words...it's unreal really.
