She has her groceries and she's ready to go. She messes around with them in her cart while she drops this huge wad of cash with a few 100 dollar bills and walks off. I go to pick it up and tell her she dropped her money.
I could have very easily kept this money and bought a ton of junk for myself, but no, I do the right thing and give it back to her and what does she do? She walks off. Doesn't even say thank you, not one word. What the crap is that?

Of course not, but at the very least she could have said thank you. That women didn't say one word to me. She took the money and walked off.

well you did say she was on a hurry. plus its pretty common to see that social behavior toward a stranger. cities are very different than a smalltown but then again smalltowns in reality arent as much fun as the ones on tv...like the Eddie Griffen Show....or PleasantVille

I do live in a small town though. Just imagine Mayberry and you pretty much know what my area of NC is like. Aunt Bee not included.
Except there's a prison next to my house. I guess it's not so much like Mayberry but some of the people are naturally nice.

That's bullshit, but it's getting really common.
I found a lost toddler at the mall last week and I had to stop everything I was doing to chaperone her until I could find her mommy. Her mommy was a real bitch who didn't appear to be even looking for her lost kid. I didn't expect a medal but I don't even like kids so a thank you would have been nice.

I get pissed off if I hold the door open for someone and they don't say TY, and I live in a big city.
I'd say 90% of people usually do say TY.

Straight up. LOL @ this chump picking it up for her and crying when she didn't give him a pat on the back for it.

you should have slipped a bill in your pocket and gave the rest back. that way when she brushes you off in a huff you don't feel like an idiot for doing the moral thing.

honestly, you really should have just followed the bitch home, killed her, taken the cash back and then some.

thats a bit presumptuous.
he was commenting about the poor manors of the woman he had just helped out rather than the fact that he was hurt he didn't get a thank you.

i don't know, i guess i'm a bit of a hardass when it comes to things like this. i am constantly treated like this where i work by customers, never getting thanked, or even acknowledged. it used to bother me so much, but now it's like, fuck it. people are going to be like that, and how they act and treat me means nothing to me.
Thats ridiculous.
X3 on the "what a bitch"

I totally understand. Yeah, doing the right thing is its own reward and all that, but it's not like you were anonymous; you were standing
right there in front of her and she could have had the decency to at least smile or something. But sometimes people are so defensive about
making a mistake that they can be almost hostile toward the person doing something charitable. You were clearly the bigger person, here. (y)

Often when I'm in the moment I don't think that clearly.

I would have kept the money and bought as many of those big gallon sized rainbow sherbet things with the cheap red handles just so that when I was loading them into my car in the parking lot, people would be walking or driving by thinking "That guy knows how to party."
