Lord God Angry Over Taxi Drivers Decision to Return Money

[Cadaverous Pallor]

As my husband said earlier - he disagrees. If $500,000 seems like a hard figure to wrap one's brain around, I pitched the idea of leaving $500 in a cab - what would the reward be? He said he'd offer nothing. Not even one dollar. I would totally pay the guy - probably, hmm, $25? Again, pulled that out of my ass, but that's probably what I'd pay him.

OT- I always find it funny when some odd topic comes up and I discuss it with my husband, only to find out we have totally different views! But it is always interesting to find out what others think. That's why I like it here

My only experience with finding a fist full of money in a cab was in SF. We went to get in the cab and I saw the money. I grabbed it and yelled at the guy who had just got out and was across the street. I yelled a few times before he noticed and I gave it back to him. He handed me money, I said no thanks. He said I wish I could give you more but please take it. My husband grabbbed it, said thanks and we got in the angry drivers cab. He actually was mad that we had given it back. He was trying to drive away as we got in!

Anywho... he gave us like $3 for a for returning a fist full of cash and I wasn't angry, mad or sad. I was glad he had his money back! I can't imagine getting to the club or whatever and realizing I'd lost everything!! It was nice that he offered but I didn't expect him to. Now if I found a case full of diamonds maybe I'd think differently, you never know
