Money and Transportation: Honesty doesn't pay

Honesty doesn't pay

By Hayls5 - 04/07/2009 02:19 - United States

Today, I was driving with a friend when we saw a wallet in the middle of his neighborhood road. When we picked it up, we saw it was loaded with cash. We drove to the man's house to return the wallet, and when we handed it to him he told us, "I would give you a reward but I don't have any cash." FML

Today, I found a wallet belonging to some guy, it had $355 inside. Because he had his address written inside, I decided to return it hoping for a reward. I drove for 40 mins and finally got to his house during peak hour. All he did was say "oh cool". FML

Today, I helped a "blind" man across the street. He kindly said thank you and patted me on the back. Then, I went into a store and realized my wallet was missing. FML

Today, I left my wallet on top of my car when I filled up with gas. I drove away and didn't realize it until I got home. I went back and found it on the side of the road. Empty of my credit cards, pictures and checks. All that was left was my driver's license. FML

Today, I got a taxi home from work. Only having notes in my wallet, I told the taxi driver that I'd run inside my house and come back out with the change for the journey. He agreed, but only if I left my bag as collateral. It seemed fair. An hour later, I realized my wallet was missing. FML

Today, I went shopping with a friend. She picked up a hundred dollars on the floor that somebody dropped. I told her, "I feel sorry for the retard who dropped the money." When I got home, I checked my purse and realized that I was missing a hundred dollars. FML

Today, I bumped into a man on the street. I apologized and he picked up his wallet. To clear the awkward silence, I pointed out that his wallet looked like mine. It wasn't until I was on the next street that I realized it was my wallet. FML

Today, I found a $100 bill on the ground and was thinking, "I'm so lucky!!" I opened my wallet to find that $300 was missing. I looked back and saw some guy picking up $300. FML

Today, the police called because someone had turned in my wallet that was stolen. I happily drove home only to find that my house had been robbed and ransacked. FML

Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML

Today, I was pulled over and fined $100 for driving without a license, as I'd accidentally left home without my wallet. I later found my wallet wedged beside my car seat, where it had been the entire time. FML

If not getting a reward is an FML for you, you truly deserve this one. Whatever happened to human goodness?

You guys are all missing the point. If the OP didn't return the wallet, the owner of the wallet wouldn't have any of his cash at all. Not to mention the mess of having to call all of his credit card companies, and replacing his liscense and all other documents. So, even if he needed that money for something, tough shit!! I would have been more than happy to give the OP half of whatever money that was in there, and be happy i got ANY of it back. The guy who owned the wallet was a greedy, incosiderate ****!! I hope if he is stupid enough to lose his wallet again, whoever finds it keeps all of the cash and tosses the rest.

You should have been like "Oh, really? I guess it isn't your wallet then. Never mind." and grabbed it and run away.

For all you know, he didn't have the cash. Just because the money was in his wallet doesn't mean that he wasn't already obliged to give it to someone else - and he could have already been late on that since he lost the wallet

Although it would be courteous for him to show some appreciation for you bringing his wallet back, it makes you a greedy, spoiled bitch for expecting a monetary reward. You did a good thing, yes, but the fact that you posted this on here is a bit sad.
