I go to the front desk, tell the lady I found this phone, and she looks at my like I'm an idiot. She says "okay, give it to me" and I wtf. Five seconds later and this black dude probably in his mid 30's comes from the front door and says thats mine, I just came back to get it. I was like cool, I gave it to him, deadlifted 189 kg's 4 times and felt like a boss!   | ||

Your not a idiot, the people who would look at you like that have no morals. Morals are something to live by, its not what you get its the feeling and gratitude. I had a fortune cookie a long time ago and kept the fortune because its something I try and live by. It sits beside my best friends framed photo, newspaper obituary and pall-bearer flower from the funeral. "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." This is my moral code that could apply to many situations in life. | ||

It sucks because every time I get the chance I always want to, knowing that I would literally have to do no work to get it, then I realize some guy probably busted his ass to buy it and I just return/turn it in. | ||

He wasn't over hearing the conversation, so its impossible that he would have known about the iphone. Why would he be looking for a iphone? He must have known it was missing, so it must be his.

This actually is normal. Many people would contemplate whether to steal the phone or not. Its a nice expensive do-dad, your only human. | ||

Maybe if it was a wallet full of cash with no ID and you can argue you have no way of finding its rightful owner, but to take a phone you see sitting around is just stealing since it's so easy to figure out to whom it belongs. edit: ChefStarCraft, you're right, I guess if it was obvious the phone was lying around it was nice of him to turn it in. | ||

The good dead was returning the phone. Not committing theft could have easily meant leaving it where he seen it, in this case someone else could have stolen it. In my opinion it definitely is a good dead. | ||

You think so? I would think it's pretty common to be honest... On April 19 2011 06:43 Slaytilost wrote: Are you questioning that because of the black dude? Cause thats racist bro! Are you insinuating he was questioning him for those reasons because he was black? Cause thats racist bro! | ||
