Something just happend

swerve

Good Evening Polkies.

So I'm checking an old e-mail addres the one that I also use for paypal transactions and I see I received 220 dollars from a seller I bought a video game from 2 months ago.

So I don't click on the link in the e-mail I just go straight to paypal and login... and sure enough I have 220 dollars waiting to be accepted. I call paypal and the guy says I can accept if I want or I can deny since I obviously know it's not intended to be mine. I called paypal to make sure everything was cool with this guy. So I then deny it.... and not 10 seconds later I get an e-mail saying Thanks.....

lol he sent that money 3 days ago... I bet he couldn't sleep until I clicked the deny about 20 minutes ago.... I'm glad I'm honest... i mean how many 18 year olds shopping on amazon looking for **** to buy just get blessed with 220 bucks then don't take it? I know all of my friends would have taken it.

bleh guess it'll pay off one day... i just hope i get laid (comical part of the article i just wrote.)

Nothin' like a little good karma.

$220.00 would have gotten you laid in most towns.

Well done, Adam.

I've got 3 sons 19-25 that would have been hard pressed to make the same decision as you. Sometimes I think they live by the 11th commandment....Finders Keepers:rolleyes:

I'm really just kidding.

Good work! One thing I've learned in life is to ALWAYS be honest. Makes life a lot easier and less stressful.

Seems every one else has processing fees....why not you

bank teller: and the processing fee is 20$
me: but I filled out the whole form !! What do you need to process?
bank teller: it will need to be stored in a file and how would you like to pay?


edit: but good on ya for being honest it will come back to you.

swerve

it's going to take alot more to renew mine. clicking a is a pathetic excuse for proving honesty but now days it doesn't surprise me. i most likely shouldn't be getting as much satisfaction out of it as I am... but oh well.

Goog job, Swerve, hopefully the good deed will come back to you threefold.

I went thru a BK drive-thru on the way to work this morning, had no cash, so used the debit card. The cashier was having problems, she finally hands me the reciept, I pull away, look at the reciept, and the total was wrong, too low. I backed up to the window and showed it to her and the mgr, they said don't worry about it. It wasn't alot of money by no means, but I pointed it out anyway. Don't want the girl to get in trouble because her drawer count is wrong because of my transaction. Anyway, kudos to you for the honesty.

did you get the huge sandwich thing? with all 8000 calories?

I went to a very popular hangout in my hometown called "The Hotdog Shop". The place is from the 50s and still looks like a 50s diner when you go in. They serve the best hotdogs I've ever eaten, and their shakes are to die for. Anywho...

Was in there about 2 years ago and I went up to pay the cashier. She handed me back my change, but instead of giving me back a single dollar bill and some coinage, she handed me back a $10 bill and some change. I checked my bill, told her about the mistake and handed her the bill back. She said, "Oh", with no emotion, and helped the next customer. Man, i was pissed. At least show me some love, baby!

Of all the things in life, showing no appreciation is one of the things that really pisses me off. Kind of like last month at work where I busted my **** for 4+ hours for someone I don't even work for and when it all was done, I told him I was finished and he said, "Ok". No thank you, nothing. I will never forget that, ever.

Got the sausage, egg, and cheese croissanwich combo with a small coke, I think the combo might have enough calories to save Ethiopia.:D
