My Cheapness almost killed someone

I just finished both a cardio session and followed with a 90 minute power yoga class so my brain is a little fried. The parking lot across the street from the studio offers 2 hours free parking. I was minutes away from that expiring and having to pay $1. (I'm unemployed, every dollar counts. Trust me it sucks.) So what did I do?!? I did what any cheap bastard would, pulled out of my parking spot like I was about to pay $1000 instead of a measly $1. I did look back, I didn't see any cars or people so I went. But then I get a knock on my passenger side window that scares the namaste out of me. There stood a girl with a big smile on her face and a yoga mat in her hand. She says, through smile, "you almost ran me over!" Of course I apologize at my stupidity but she laughs and says it's no problem!!! NO PROBLEM?! I would have been pissed. But she had just came from the same class as me and she was probably feeling good and fried as well. Anyway, I made my way to pay and of course I didn't make the 2 hour cut off. But my cheap self didn't care anymore, I almost killed the poor girl! So I pay with a 10 and after pulling away I count my change, 8 ones. 8 ONES!!! The cashier was $1 short.....my cheap self came right back.
