Forrest Gump 9 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 So you sitting in a waiting room waiting for your turn/table. You see an elderly person approaching the door so you stand up and open the door for him to get in, but his wife is following about ten steps behind, so you stand there and holding the door for her too. The elderman got in the room headed for your seat and sat down. He saw your some cash on the seat and proceeded to put it in his pocket. You later found out it was your cash when you pull out your phone. What would you do? I didn't do anything and it was $50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Let him know you lost some cash and is wondering if he is sitting on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustlestiltskin Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Well I'm not a cuckold so I would've told the old timer I was sitting there earlier before I held the door and that it came out of my pocket. If he started avin a giggle then I'd hook em in da gabber m8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbospec29 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 At least kindly ask if they found any $ that you know fell out of your pocket where you had been sitting. If they had said no, you can then decide if you want to call him out on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Gump 9 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Cut your losses and move on. Or Let him know you lost some cash and is wondering if he is sitting on it? Yeah, I didn't find out until they've left the room. Well I'm not a cuckold so I would've told the old timer I was sitting there earlier before I held the door and that it came out of my pocket. If he started avin a giggle then I'd hook em in da gabber m8. I would not let an old man steal $50 from me. The problem is he a person I looked up to and respect. Kinda like Docs to the rest of us.

Geeto67 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 The problem is he a person I looked up to and respect. Kinda like Docs to the rest of us. Wait...you know him personally and you didn't say anything? barring some extenuating circumstance like you know he is on a fixed income and eating dog food for dinner, why wouldn't you say anything? At this point it's too late to say anything, but seriously man....it's always better to just be friendly and mention something than it is to judge him as a thief from afar...even if he may be one.

Dr. Pomade Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 $50 lesson learned; pay better attention to your money. Buy a money clip and move on. I would not have said anything to the guy either. Better to stay silent and allow the old man to think he just got lucky rather than open your mouth to announce you can't competently manage your own money.

I don't judge him at all. I just want to know what to do the next time I'm in the same situation. And I only found out it was my money after they already left the room. They are old and retired, but they are very well off. But knowing old people they love money. My dad doesn't use money anymore but he loves it when we give him money. I've paid for their dinner before without letting them know, so the money doesnt bother me. It just bugged me for some reasons. I guess I held him to a higher standard?? That's why it bugged me.

Dang, well, if you know the person than it should be easier to ask for the money back, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 The lesson here is.... USE A FUCKING WALLET Are you twelve? Are you a meth addict? Did someone mug you 10 minutes earlier and someone saw and gave you 50 bucks to help you out? ^^Those would be the only acceptable reasons for having money bills in your front pant pocket. This isn't an issue of ettequite. If you realize the money was yours, explain the situation and get your money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is sad and true, my wife probably knows how much money I have in my pocket that I do. I just remembered that $50 because she gave it to me to buy a gift certificate. Also I've always put my money in the front pockets, but this one was in the back with my phone. Oh well, lik you said, lesson learned.

SRTurbo04 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I guess I held him to a higher standard?? That's why it bugged me. Why ? How is he supposed to know it was your money? Are you thinking he deliberately knew it was your money and took it? Maybe the guy saw money and thought it 3was his lucky day. Have you never saw money on the floor and picked it up?

Grudes Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 All kidding aside, it sucks but there is not much you can do. If you ask them for the money, they might think your just trying to get the money. At least it was just $50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I would have said something along the lines of what others suggested, "I lost a $50 when I was sitting here, did you happen to see anything when you sat down?" Partly because $50 is $50, and partly because he did nothing to justify keeping it. I wouldn't necessarily have expected him to turn it in, but I would expect him to hand it over without feeling bad about it. If he said no, he didn't find anything, I'd probably pussy out and just secretly hate him until he died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Somebody you know, that finds $50, and assumes it didn't belong to someone he knew or didn't care. I don't care about your age. If you have friends/family around and you find money, you give it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHIEF Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Tells me old man river is not a good person. And he's "well off"? Old dude bro is a dick. I would've asked who's this was and who was sitting here now and even next year (maybe not the year after that). You need to find new old friends. As these seem like a bad influence. Betcha they call out "Bingo!" when they know they don't have it. So now they steal attention and money? That's war medals thrown off a bridge around these parts.
