When I had my first miata, I took a toll road to get home. I got on an an unmanned booth. I would occasionally throw money in the booth and the gate wouldn't go up. I'd drive right under the gate.

On more than one occasion, I could see a paper dollar either folded or wadded up and stuck in the machine with a bunch of quarters stacked up behind it. On another occasion or two I'd see a few dollars in quarters in the change return. Clearly the universe wanted me to have those to make up for times that I got screwed by the toll booths.
