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 minutes and finally got to his house during peak hour. All he did was say, "Oh, cool." FML

Drug money. But you don't do something for the reward, you do it because you feel it's right. YDI.

Holy crap entitled much? Instead of doing something for a reward, why don't you do it because it's the right thing to do? And how is he supposed to know that you drove for 40 minutes? What I would've done is turn it in to the police, or if I found it in the store, turned it in to the store manager, rather than driving for 40 minutes and then expecting a reward for not stealing it. It's ridiculous how people expect to be rewarded for not doing the wrong thing. Plus, how do you know you returned it to the right person? It had an address written inside? That could've been the address of a friend's house, or a house someone needed to make a delivery to. Maybe you just gave the wallet to a stranger who decided to pretend it was his to keep the money.

you should've asked for a reward. 10%. Maybe he would've given you something to at least pay the time and gas you spend on bringing that back.

You should have just called and had the guy come retrieve his wallet.

You're a retard. If you wanted money, you should've kept the wallet. If you wanted to do something nice for someone, you shouldn't have to get a reward to do it. Makes me believe you're a two-face who expects to get paid to do something nice and then walks away thinking what a great person they are. Can't have the cake and eat it too.

well that was a good thing to do.. but that guys an ass.

and that's y u shouldn't have false nice intentions

you did a good thing. the best reward for doing something right isn't a prize. it's the goodness of your heart.

ahah Geez... makes ya not want to do good deeds anymore, huh?

haha that's it if I were you I would kick his ass Lol

YDI, no person should do the right thing because they want something back. If you wanted to do something and get money, you should have kept the wallet. What you did was ultimately selfish anyway. First, you expected a reward when none should have been expected, and secondly you only returned it because you could not stand to feel guilty (if it was really just money you could have kept the money). Thus, you got what you deserved.
