Nut Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Well today I cashed my check and as I was walking away I realized there as $100 more than what the check was for. Well I went back and told the person she made a mistake. I handed her the $100 and she double checked and said thank you. The relief on her face made me smile also. Then I went to the tire place and spent $100 for a tire and having another 1 repaired. It still made me feel proud about myself. So always be honest.

Tominator Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Re: Honesty WTG Fred. That happened to me a few years back. I didn't notice until I came home, but immediately took it back. 2 months later the bank called me and said "we made a mistake, we need the money back." So I told them I already returned it, showed them the receipt, and the issue was dropped. 3 weeks ago I got a check in the mail for $780 for a blacktop job I apparently did for some woman in Westerville. Funny thing is, I don't remember doing that work. I still have it, keep forgetting to drop it in the mail. I guess a less than honest guy might try and cash that check, eh?

buckee Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Re: Honesty Way to go Fred. I would have done the same thing. Not only is it the right thing to do, but that girl would have had that $100 taken off her paycheck, most likely. No wonder she looked relieved eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Re: Honesty Think of all the double cheeseburgers you coulda bought!!!! LOL, j/k, I had a vending machine dumps is purse once. There was about 60$ that fell out of it, so I took it home and called the people. They gave it to me as a reward for being honest! How bout that eh?

snapper Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Re: Honesty Good deal...although, don't you make a mistake or they make a mistake in their fav. I lost $60 from a Mac machine once...reciept said I withdrawled $80 (which is what I wanted) but the machine only gave me $20. They checked everything a few days later and found all "their" money came out right...they weren't ahead $60...sorry about my luck!!!!!!!! I no longer bank with them...but I don't know if I could have been as honest since I feel they still owe me $60. That was about 10 years ago...so with interest...$100 would prob. be fair.
