This morning, at the bank:
Walking into the bank, not too far behind a woman with several zippered money bags. She tripped over a wrinkle in the carpet, and dropped everything she was carrying in order to break her fall. Money went falling out/rolling everywhere. (I learned during the clean-up that she had misplaced the keys, and had therefore left the bags partially unzipped.)
Helping her pick up the money was rather awkward, just because I couldn't tell whether she really wanted a stranger handling her money. I guess she felt pretty awkward, too.
