Last March, when I was doing shopping for the Sri Lankan New Year, this kind of an incident happened. After buying some clothes, I came to the counter. I wanted to pay in cash. But when I was checking the wallet, I realized that I had forgotten to bring the money. Luckily, my debit card could save me. Otherwise, I don't know how embarrassing would it be.

Whenever I notice that I don't have money with me, I pay by credit card. On other occasions, I just give up buying!

Yes, my colleague asked me to buy a bread, I went to the bakery, and then when I had to pay, I didn't had my wallet. So I asked the lady if she can gave me the bread and I'll come later to bring the money. She agread, and everything was ok.
