You know, every once in a while, someone will do something that REALLY reinvigorates my...

... belief in the potential goodness of most human beings.
.

This morning, I took a cab to my doctor's appointment. Running late, I grabbed a bunch of cash from my bedroom
in several "piles" and shoved them into my pocket.
.
.
Getting to the hospital, I fumbled in my pocket and pulled out money to pay the driver.
.
.
Later, Kali (whose phone number I had used for a contact number) emailed me and said the driver had found
something valuable and was back at the hospital -- if I could describe it, she would give it to me.
.
The only thing I could think of was that I had pulled out a wad of cash accidentally while reaching for the fare, but
I hadn't paid the slightest attention when I grabbed it that morning, so I didn't know how much or the denominations..
.
Sure enough, eventually I connected with the driver...
.
.
.
$260 in twenties.
.
.
.
Take THAT, those of you with dark and dismal Hobbesian views of human nature. She could have very easily
just pocketed it -- how would I know?
.
.
.
I gave her $10 and told her how much she had done besides just returning money. I'm wishing now that I
had given her more.

3. If she works for a cab company rather than being an independent driver,

call the company and tell her boss

[MiddleFingerMom]

4. I thought of doing that, but had some things going on and forgot it. Thanks for the reminder.

5. remind me to tell you what conclusions I jumped to

guessing what it was

yes I told her you might have forgotten your own ass if it wasn't attached. you need a manpurse. but then you would probably just lose that.

6. Kali told me I wouldn't keep losing my cellphone if I shoved it up my ass.

As this time reinforces... it's a leetle uncomfortable, but I think it's gonna work.

8. That was very kind

I think we all want to do the right thing, but circumstances sometimes prevent us from doing so. We've all probably done things that we are not proud of...the fact that we are not proud of those deeds is a clue to the better nature of most people.
