On the Bx15 bus across 125th St., a woman [hereafter 'Borrower'] stepped on and asked if anyone had change for her $2. After a few moments another woman ['Lender'] sitting near the front of the bus held up a TransitChek metrocard, then stepped up and put it in the machine. The Borrower started thanking her profusely, and the Lender said no problem, it's unlimited. After the Lender sat back down the Borrower attempted to give her the $2, but the Lender refused to accept it. As she kept on thanking her the Borrower attempted to thrust the money at her, but the Lender parried and it fell to the floor. The Borrower was unfazed and moved on to find a seat. The Lender picked up the money and forcefully stuffed it into one of the Borrower's bags before sitting back down again. The Borrower continued to thank, saying "no really, I just appreciate it so much, so helpful of you." At this point other passengers seemed to join the chorus, saying "that was so nice of you, so very nice." The Lender looked like she just wanted to be left alone.
