So last year I bought a motorcycle. Took my written test $10, then went and took the driving test and that was something like $15. When you take the written test you get a 4x8 paper that is your premit, then you take the riding test and they just stamp it, its then a full blown license. However its only good for a year, you have to take it back to the stupic BMV and get them to stamp the letter "M" on your license and thats $20.

Anyways long story long, last year I never felt like droping the $20 to have an "M" stamped on my license. So I kept my paper in my wallet and was planing on geting the stamp in may right before its no good. Well it got realy beat up and was in about 3 separate pieces, just looks like a piece of trash, and from time to time would fall out of my wallet when I was paying for stuff.

Well about 2 months ago I noticed its wasnt in my wallet and couldnt find it anywhere. Yesterday I got a unmarked letter from someone with nothing in it but my old paper license. So happy. Saved me time and money. I wish I could thank them. Heck they spent 44 cents just to give it to me.

I always tell people if I get too much change. Just doesn't feel right taking it. Cool story. My parents were at a restaurant a couple weeks and there was a group in the booth behind them, or beside or something and the guy told a funny story (can't remember about what now) but my parents kinda chuckled when they heard it. The guy walks over, snatches there bill up and says, "Have a nice day" and it was like...a $50+ bill for the meal. I thought that was pretty cool

Man thats good to hear! You were lucky the right person happened to stumble across a crumpled piece of paper that day.

yep went to welding supply store bought some welding gloves dropped a 20$ for 8$ gloves. he gave me like 22$ in change 2 tens and 2 ones. I promptly told him he gave me too much change. i dont know how many people are like this. but its just the right thing to do
I returned a video card to staples a couple months back and the girl gave me an extra $20 back, for some reason I decided to count the money in the parking lot and realized it. I walked back in and gave it to her and she didn't seem grateful or anything, kind of gave me a weird look actually. I was just being a nice guy and didn't want to have any more bad karma come my way because my computer and my car had taken a crap within days of each other.

There are still decent people in this world. They sure are a rare breed though. On a related story, a guy in my class saved me $40 bucks on two stupid light bulb sockets. I was pretty grateful for that.

I have a similar story.

While we were dating, My now wife and I went to see the Blackhawks at the Chicago Stadium. For those not familiar with Chicago, the staduim was in a real crappy area. You always drove the "beater" and always "tipped" the local kids to watch your car for you. I told my wife to leave her purse at home and just put her driver's license in her pocket. several days later, her license showed up in the mail with a nice note saying that she hoped she got it back in time to enjoy her 21st birthday!!!


:beer: :icon_cheers: :beer:


Never forgot it, and have found and returned several wallets (and cell phones) since.
