Returning a Wallet
I was at a toll booth this weekend and when I pulled up to pay (an automated toll booth, no attendant) I found a wallet on the ground. The guy that had been in front of me had gotten out of his car to pay so I knew it was his. I picked it up but then I thought -shit, how am I going to find this guy to return it? I was thinking about pulling off and trying to find a phone number for the guy but then I saw him pulled off on the side of the road searching his car.
I pulled in behind him and returned the wallet and he gave me twenty bucks as thanks.
I felt good. Thought I'd done a good deed but I had a couple of people tell me I was dumb for bothering. And one person asked if I checked how much money was in there.
What's with people? Seriously? Wouldn't you return a wallet to someone in that circumstance?
