Middle-aged, heavily made-up woman with steely helmet hair, standing by a parking meter: "Hey! Hey!"
I look around. She does mean me.
"Do you have change for a $5 note?"
"Let me see." I fumble through my purse. "I'm sorry, I only have 20 cent coins, which I need for something myself."
"That's okay. 20 cent coins are just perfect." She holds out her hand.
"No, I mean, I need them for me. Sorry."
Helmet woman gestures at the bank behind us. "Can't you just go in there and get some more?"
