I was really stressed rushing to the metro this morning to get to work. I realized that I didn't have enough money on my Smart Trip card so I begrudgingly had to stop at the pay stations to put more money on my card. $3.25 to get to work every morning - that's almost $7 roundtrip a day!! Can we say Ripoff with a capital R?! To put money on your card you have to swipe your card in the beginning of your transaction and at the end of your transaction. I tried to get through this process as quickly as possible:
1. Swipe Smart Trip card
2. Enter in amont
3. Insert debit card
4. Enter PIN
5. Swipe Smart Trip card again to close the transaction -- um, hello, I said swipe Smart Trip card.... swipe, swipe, swipe - nothing was happening! I was freaking out because the train was coming and my card wasn't swiping. I frantically turned around for help and found a Metro employee and I told them that my card wasn't swiping. I'm sure she heard the panic in my voice.
Her response:
"Um, miss, that is your Starbucks card."
Ha.

Yup. Did that.
Metro is so damn expensive. And I heard they might jack the prices up!

I had a similar experience trying to pay for my Walmart purchase with my library card.
LOL! I was in zombie mode reading this (yes I'm really admitting that) and you wrote it out beautifully, such a way that I laughed out loud and now have a big smile on my face :)
