Re: Some things you just can't make up.
Whatever you need to do to justify it I guess. Something tells me your not mathematically illiterate so that excuse wouldnt work. What if the guy had been going through a rough patch and wasnt thinking clearly or had other things on his mind at the time, does that suddenly make it alright? If the situation was reversed, wouldnt you appreciate it if someone informed you of an error you made and saved you money because of it?Nope, the last thing I said was merely a bonus. The guy obviously didn't know how to make the calculation, and he shouldn't be trusting someone else to do it for him. It's not like you literally took money out of his wallet. Hey, your excuse could be that you were mathematically illiterate too.Comment

Re: Some things you just can't make up.
I agree, though I think most of the people I try and associate myself would share the same standards, if that's the right term.
I'm not at all on big on carma, religion, etc. But I do believe that you treat others with respect and treat them the way you want to be treated.
I've had bad days where my mind is elsewhere I give a cashier the wrong amount of money (a 5 and a 10 instead of a 5 and a 1 or something) and I would hope that they would do the right thing and give me back my change insted of putting it into their pocket.
The same goes for lost goods. If I find a wallet or a purse, I try and find the owner. I don' think "jackpot!" I know the stress that comes with losing a wallet as I've done it a few times and it sucks for anyone to have to go through that mess.
I'm going to stereo type this tow truck driver and assume that he probably isn't educated and probably doesn't have a lot going for him. The last thing I'm going to want to do is take money out of his pocket that he earned and that I owe him. Sure an extra $25 would be nice in my pocket, but it'd just feel dirty to me.Comment

Re: Some things you just can't make up.
Okay, well to be honest if the situation rose up I wouldn't really take the $25 from the guy. Heck, I don't think I would ever even test him like that either. I'm the kind of guy that lets people bum rides off him, then when they ask how much they owe me I say, "It's okay." I sometimes feel bad taking money from people, especially in fear that I'm overestimating the cost of something. I also do the same thing that Trevytrev11 does with a wallet.
I think I was mostly saying that no person should ever be incriminated for "thieving" this guy because he failed to make a proper calculation. If something like this ever went to court, I would love to be on the jury panel shaking my head the whole way through.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment
