My wife, who works in retail, recently found a wallet at her place of employment. Contained therein was every credit card known to mankind and $2000.00 cash.
Let me begin by saying that the gentleman who lost the wallet was EXTREMELY fortunate that it was someone like my wife who found it and not someone like myself who wouldn’t have thought twice about lifting the cash out before returning it.
My wife and I are students and we have a child. I can only imagine how tempting, especially at Xmas time, it was for her to keep the cash.
However, she called the gentleman in question (why i am calling him a gentleman escapes me because he proves to be quite the contrary.) and had him collect the wallet.
This man did not even say thank-you. His only comment to my insanely honest wife was ‘yeah, it would have been a pain replacing all those cards’.
Nice buddy…real nice. Even if you won’t cough up a reward, and I say ‘won’t’ because he was quite well off if judged by appearance and wallet thickness, the least you could do is say thank you.

Where does one begin with this bitch. Basically, you are what is wrong with society today. People like you deserve everything you get. Karma will find you.Asshat!
Are you calling the poster an asshat? I certainly hope not, they could have kept the cash and tossed the rest without even batting an eyelash. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t think about it either Leafs Fan…everyone would look at it and at least have the thought make a quick dash across their conscience. They did the right thing and buddy wasn’t even thankful, sure you shouldn’t have to have thanks for doing the right thing but come on man…2K in cold hard cash returned untouched deserves at least a “Oh my god you people
What an ungrateful cheapskate.
The poster is an asshat.Sure, a thank-you would be nice, but a good deed isn’t a good deed if you expect a reward or even thanks.I’m really proud of your wife, though, she makes me feel good about the world even if for a moment.
A simple thank you would have been nice, however.
Last x-mas season I found a very recently dropped wallet out in front of where I work. I tracked them down with canada411 and left a message. I could care less about getting anything in return, I just know how bad it would suck to have to get all of that ID and other cards back.I was rewarded with a bottle of dessert wine. Nice.
Hey, I just noticed that you’re both wives. Man, and nobody even cares. Thats awesome, what a wonderful and accepting world Halifax is these days. Kudos, Halifax.
Yea all nice and warm n fussy like. The reality is that this guy didn’t even say TY. What an asshole! Next time lady, keep the cash and drop the wallet in a mailbox. People are such dickheads these days.
ummm….what is wrong with THIS statement- “and not someone like myself who wouldn’t have thought twice about lifting the cash out before returning it.”
your wifes a pussy
