left behind
I hosted a group of people in my home this evening, and after they left, I discovered a crumpled-up piece of paper that had been left behind. My insatiable curiosity wouldn’t allow me to throw it away without first looking to see what it was. When I opened it up, this is what I saw:
After handing over a $100 bill to pay for lunch at Reggio’s Pizza at O’Hare, this person apparently spent the next two years waiting for just the right moment to throw the receipt away… Be careful what you leave at my house, folks — it just might show up on the internet! :o)

I’m so glad you caught the date on the receipt. That is what is most profound to me. The idea that a receipt like that could hang out until 2007 before getting dropped, boggles my mind. My purse usually gets so overrun with receipts that I have to clean them out every few weeks or month. It isn’t even possible for me to have one from 2004 to drop somewhere.
