Today, I saw an elderly woman drop $20 while shopping. Trying to be a good samaritan, I picked it up and tried to hand it back to her. She accused me of stealing it and beat me with her purse. The manager had to fend her off me. FML
LittleGina tells us more.
OP Here: Hello, let me answer some questions I am seeing and straighten things up a bit. 1. I don't work here, I was a customer, therefore, it was not my manager, just the store's manager. 2. The elderly lady had not seen me walk up to her, I was unable to explain anything before I was being beaten with a purse and called a thief. So, I guess she saw me at the corner of her eye holding a $20 before any words came out of my mouth. I may just simply be giving her excuses, but I honestly think that's what happened. 3. The solution was that she was escorted out immediately, but she did get her $20 back. 4. Will she ever know the real story? I don't know, and frankly I don't care. 5. Don't worry, I still have good intentions, she didn't mess anything up!

Karma is a bitch though--keep that in mind. And good things happen to good people so just wait and see what happens!

Karma is the cosmic force that is believed to weigh one's soul after death to determine which form it will take next. Every bit of comeuppance and reward isn't Karma for the same reason every shower you take isn't a baptizing.

Hopefully the $20 will come in handy for her when she gets charged with assault?

Well yeah because people definitely steal stuff and then try to give it back. That makes PERFECT sense.

#10 THANK YOU! I'm just sitting here like "Doesn't giving something back to someone defeat the whole idea of 'stealing'?"
