Inflation
There's a dude outside the Harvard Square subway station charging "$1 to tell me off". I thought about calling his mother names and then demanding a dollar, but then it occurred to me that the price of telling a stranger off has really risen dramatically and without my noticing! I mean, wasn't it just yesterday that you could tell someone you didn't know off for .36 cents? What is this world coming to?

Let me get this right, you pay him a $1 to have a go at him? Why would you demand a $1 yourself?
I prefer to ask permission to throw coins at people begging for money, I live in the UK and prefer the heavy £1 coin.
Bum - "Any spare change?"
Me - "Got a £1 if you let me throw it at you hard you can keep it, ok?"
Bum - "For sure!"
