"Spare change for a dollar."
Been hearing this daily when I walk down the street near work this summer from this young lady squatting on the corner sidewalk. Yesterday I answered, politely, "Sorry, I don't have any change." I really didn't. She said, "A dollar will do, then." I stopped and looked at her and asked sincerely, "You're asking for a dollar and you'll give me a dollar? A dollar for a dollar? I don't get it." She became irate and started yelling at me, "No! Spare change OR a dollar. Spare change OR a dollar." I walked away embarassed.
I could swear all this time she's been saying, "Spare change for a dollar."
