hey guy's and dolls, i was tempted today and wondering what you would do?

like a lot of people we just don't make enough money so today we got paid and we went to our bank to cash our checks. our bill collectors likes it that way so when we got it cashed my wife looked at me with a alarmed look upon her face and said they gave us fourteen hundred too much. i replied count it again after the fourth time we were right so what to do? we thought of going to breakfast and coming back later but that is dishonest. now think about this you all we are not behind the counter so they are depending on us to do the right thing although she was at fault. so i could hear her boss telling her that she was fourteen hundred short so that would have been her job and or proscution. again think it was fourteen hundred that is over a thousand dollars so what to do? we thought of just pulling away and never going back but again we heard her boss tell her that she was fired and then her husband leaves her and she has to go on welfare or maybe end up starving. so what we did was we pulled back around to the drive through and we had her count it again then she asked do you have only two checks we replied yes she caught it. so she counted out our allowance and gave it to us and she said thank you like we did her a favor and chuckled stupidly. so man were we ever tempted then i wondered how many out there in cyberland would have played a jesse james and ran for the hills or those who would play a saint and do the right thing? So think about this before you answer because i want only honest answers. but think about this also fourteen hundred dollars would have paid off a bill or paid our credit cards down or off. also i thought that the bank could have been nice and gave us like a cancelation price maybe one hundred for a reward so what do you think do you agree with me also or do you think i am fishing in a dried up pond? then think what you could do with an extra fourteen hundred so i am waiting to hear what you have to say about this matter.

    Wow. You're a much better person than I am in someways.

    I'm not going to lie...I probably would have kept that money. However, you did the right thing by returning it. You very well saved her job most likely and, besides, it might have caught up with you in the long run. Congrats for you being an honest and caring person. Many people would not do such a thing as what you did today. I am in awe.

    ok i'm going to humor you. look he continues to be a similar guy or woman you ordinarily enjoyed. He in simple terms likes different men. it is not as vast of a deal as your making this out to be. And the bible additionally tells you the mind-blowing thank you to punish your slaves. And that to devour shellfish is an abomination. They have been regulations written via previous men over 1000 years in the past utilising the advice that they had which replaced into little or no. Plus Jesus by no potential pronounced something against homosexuality. And if he did have a undertaking that's in contrast to he does not are available the time of it. gay relationships have been very elementary in Roman way of existence who have been occupying the holy land on the time. only one thing to mull over for you. And if he's gay i'm sorry there's no magical treatment in case you attempt to tension him to be with a woman you will in basic terms tension your son out of your existence

    To hell with what the cashier thinks. You did the right thing. You may not be rewarded with money for what you did, but remember this one word: karma. Not always a bad thing. There is karma for good as well.

    Also, why did you return it. Did you do it thinking there was something in it for you, or truly do it for her sake and to do the right thing?

    I will leave you with this quote: What's right may not be popular. And what's popular may bot be right.

    Ps. To answer your question, I would do the same thing. If you had kept it, you would not be able to sleep that night.
