A Moment of Contemplation
This happened some time ago.
When something truly dreadful happens in the world, if there is a national 'two minutes silence' being observed, our shop will join in.
Once, just as the two minutes silence was about to begin, I was serving someone who was hard of hearing. Someone, who actually had quite a loud voice, possibly so they could hear themselves talk.
The two minutes' silence started and the customer left my till. Then, just as a reverent silence fell on the store, my customer wheeled round and shouted: 'You short changed me! YOU SHORT CHANGED ME!'.

Maybe it was an existential statement in response to whatever the silence was for?
I like to think so, I really do.
