Where I live that would NEVER happen If I dropped money in a Wal-Mart. Shoot, I have dropped money before in there, I just say "someone else needed it more than me."
Same here. It usually makes them realize that im doing them a favor. Not just beacuse i want to. Common courtsey usually seems to have gotten lost in todays world. OP you did the right thing i commend you for it!:beer:
You did the right thing and that's what counts.
Bro are we thinking about the same Sharpstown? I went to Sharpstown MS my 8th grade year and Alief Elsik for part of 9th grade. That does NOT describe said area last time I remember it. LOL.
EDIT:
Never mind, jokes on me. Sarcasm is sometimes hard to discern on the interwebz. lmfao

That was you? My bad bro .. i just didn't want you to see the nude photos i had in my photo library.
I found a phone at walmart parking lot few years ago. I called everyone in the phone book, well first few people did not believe me phone was lost..And then girl who lost it ended up meeting me. Wasn't too far from my house. She thanked me a 100 times, and offered me money. I didn't want anything. I felt bad because she was a college student.
I thought about that the other day. I usually hold the doors for guys, older people and I can't even get thank you.
No good deed ever goes unpunished.

What a dick...you did the right thing!
i believe that's the Mobile Me app and its $10 a month :dw:
my buddy works at the Apple Store. they had a guy grab an iphone 4 and run off with it. they called the police and tracked the phone right to the guy's house in less than an hour lol. he answered the door and was arrested.
+1
+1000 i feel the exact same way. these days, i hate turning anything i find in because the dbag employees will probably just keep it for themselves. often times the manager is just like them :burn:
years ago i found a wallet and found the info of the chick it belonged to. she was about my age and i thought, hey, ill drive it to her house and maybe she'll be appreciative :dancenana: well grandma answered the door and said thanks and that was about it :bored:
about 10 years ago, i found a wallet in a parking lot with $1k in it. completely empty except for one type of id card with a number on it. i called and it was the right one. the guy and his wife showed up and said he had dropped it and it was their rent money. they looked very poor and the wife was pretty much in tears. they offered me some cash but i declined. i felt glad i found them and saved their day. had that one id card not been in there or had a number on it, i probably would not have been able to do anything with it. i sure as hell wouldnt give it to the guy at 711 lol.
I say thanks when they leave it for me, I get the same back.
funny.
I lost my BB in the snow in front of a 7-11 sidewalk / parking lot last year. It took me literally 10 min before I had to pull over and look under my seats etc for the phone. not in the car and I was like wtf!! turned around and searched inside the store, out in the snow outside everywhere, in garbage cans EVERYTHING because I knew i dropped the phone there somehow. *edit even rang the phone like 10x from the cashier's cell and wandering around like a retard looking/listening for it. rings and rings and goes to v/m* was there for like 20 mins and very pissed at this point before I gave up.
When I got home wife says this guy called he found your phone, turns out he found it and took it with him in the 10 or so ****ing minutes that I had left and came back. I ring him back but he left town and couldnt hook up with me until later that day.
I finally meet him that evening, he's a landscaper with a truck full of mexicans, I tell him here take a $20 thanks for finding my phone, he says give it to my guy here he found it, of course mexican takes my money.
I wanted to say "why the **** didnt you just leave the ****ing phone inside with the cashier!!" but didnt considering I was glad to get it back in one piece. but it would have saved me a lot of bs if he did.
OP sounds like your guy is a major asshole, but having been through it, next time just leave the ****ing phone at the counter.
thanks

Really? Im pretty surprised you guys are empathizing with the guy who got his phone back and wasn't appreciative.
First of all, you don't leave valuables lying around. It doesn't matter if your at the gym, leave it in your car. If you don't have a car, keep it on you. Secondly, I personally rather have the person call me and tell me they have my phone then have the counter keep it as they can just as easily take it. I would be excited as hell if someone called me and told me they had my phone and is willing to return it.
Geeze, I guess you guys arer the type would have said "cool" when he returned it.
Yeah I agree with that even around here. If a druggie had found it it would have been snorted up their nose. But at least I sleep good knowing that if it did belong to someone that really needed it they have the opportunity to get it back, if they just call and ask.
Might be a dumb question, but what would be the point of keeping it anyway? Not like you could have activated it.
Finders keepers. He should have known better than to let it sit around, like someone leaving a dog in a hot car with the windows closed.
Sometimes you have to be selfish and forget the rest.
