CvM - sounds like you got drunk and hired a pro then forgot about it the next morning and just assumed you picked up a civilian. Don’t fret. It happens.
Yeah, for some reason, I suspect the NYPD is not exactly going to prioritize this case. Yet another reason to legalize and regulate prostitution, to protect innocent people like CvM. Maybe we can even add a “how is my driving, please call this number” on the back of the bus.
That reminds me of a news clip from a couple years ago, where a KFC (i think) shuts down for a day and all these people complained very violently because they depended on the fried chicken, they interviewed these frustrated customers and they said “now what do i bring home to my kids for dinner?”
It’s just very very sad… i forgot which part of the US that was.
I’m guessing this is a comment about my geographic location.
But I’m American and have never had cat or dog. Plus I question if we are meant to eat other top level carnivores like wolves/dogs? We evolved eating large herbivores…the plant eaters eat the plants, and we eat them. Eating other carnivores seems weird?
No good deed goes unpunished (I never understood what this meant).
Anyways, I was at the Palm last night to indulge in a big steak with a buddy of mine. As I’m walking in, this dbag looking all business rushes in ahead of me. He’s wearing a suit under his large overcoat. He talks to the host and then checks his coat/computer up front. My pal and I go to speak to the host after the fact and I notice that I stepped on something. I look down, and low and behold, there is a black wallet. I open it up, and it looks like the dbag who rushed in ahead of me (from Jersey, go figure). I ask that we be seated and keep an eye out for Mr. Business. He’s in a table a few down from where my pal and I are at. I get up, and walk over to their table inwhich it appears they are having a business meeting.
Me, “Excuse me.”
Them, Scowl/Annoyed, “Yes!?”
Me, to Jersy Dbag, “Are you Mr. Business by chance?”
Him, Annoyed, “Perhaps, who wants to know?”
Me, “Well Mr. Business, you dropped this upfront, and I wanted to prompty return it.”
Him, (Face on floor game changer), “Oh my goodness, geez!, Thank you so much!”
Me, “No problem, I know what it’s like to lose a wallet, enjoy your dinner.”
And I walked off. While I could/should of put my Palm meal on that dbags Amex, I felt I should return it. I need some good Karma in my life.
^Please, he’s from Jersey. They went right on back to their business discussion. Then again I didn’t hang around any longer than I had to, this big boy was hungry!
I’m not sure why you’re so annoyed with having to return a lost wallet. It’s the right thing to do. I don’t know that you’re under any obligation to return it to him, per se. But if you don’t return it to him, then leave it on the floor.
Putting any part of your meal on his card would have been stealing.
And we also don’t know if he’s dead broke, because his business is failing. It’s quite possible that you have more money than him.
You did the right thing. Sleep well tonight, knowing that in some small way, you’ve made the world a better place.
