That sucks but if you don't want to do something, you have to communicate it clearly. If you refused and people ignored your refusal, I feel like you shouldn't have to pay for the list money as it was pushed upon you despite your protests.

learn to say no. and how could you lose the envelopes that fast? ydi

Being elected against your will sucks but losing the money is on you.

Maybe you should have just told them you did not have the capacity to do the role? They cannot make you do it.

How did you manage to lose 3 envelopes of money on the trip to your car... What?

I don't understand what I'm reading, but when people try to make you do something you don't want to do, and you've already told them "no" multiple times, tell them to go fuck themselves, and ignore them from that point on. Incidentally, you should "lose" the rest of the envelopes, and teach those fuckers a lesson.

you just sound unorganised to me, first thing i would do if someone was trying to give me money in a hectic hallway, i would get them to go with me somewhere less crowded, i would then take the money and immediately, put it in a safe location on my person, like for example a handbag, purse, wallet or inside jacket pocket. Finally, when someone asks me to do something i dont want to do i tell them to piss off. I have also never had to rush anywhere as i always make sure i have plenty of time for any actions i need to take. so imho, you deserve it :)
