So yesterday, I was walkin' out of Walmart and I found someone's wallet on the ground. After getting scammed for 450 bucks, I've kinda hit an all-time low. I've been contemplating fucking some people over, and with my 4 grand in debt, stealing seemed like a great idea. But I didn't. Took the wallet back to customer service and now trying to find the dude to tell him his wallet was found. Guess what? I won $3 dollars this morning on a lottery ticket.
When I looked at that, sure, it doesn't cover my losses at all. Doesn't even scratch it. But, it made me look up. Fuck those bitches who scammed me. I'm me. And I'm better than that. What's he got to show for it? "Oh, I scammed a good guy." Yeah, that makes you seem like hot shit, eh? Fuck that. At least I'm a good guy. At least I can walk down the street and not a single person would look at me as a bad guy in any sort of way. He can't say the same.
Karma may not have made up for my total losses. But karma gave me myself back. Taught me a lesson, and picked me right up with a small gift. =)
Sorry, guys. I'm stoned as fuck.

Your a good person TrainWrecked.
People should take a note out of your book!
+ Plus knowing you've done the right thing, and having heart is priceless, well done on being an example of a human being :)
I know it won't pay the bills, but I send you some flowers!
❀ ❃ ❁ ✼
Happy sweet stoning to you! :)

Thank you. =)

Thank you. =)
Most welcome!
I am on my own little session mission tonight too!
Railing and rolling! ;)
Enjoy it! You more than deserve it! :-*
-
+1 for being a good human being :)

I agree +1. I too do not have a "I need to get whats mine" type mindset. I wish I knew more people like you though.

I'm in a very similar situation. I've been jerked around my whole life and over the past 5 months have been ripped off a few times for a grand total of $780 (I babysit and people seem to think it's okay to not pay your sitter now?!).
I recently started working for a new website from home and the fifth was to be my first paycheck. I felt confident because the people who hired me were very thorough in hiring me and I trusted them.
Aug 2: email from boss confirming hours and check amount, asking for best way to send.
No answer to multiple emails for 5 days. I was sure I'd been fucked over. Again.
Today I get an email from my boss apologising profusely for the lack of communication and explaining what had happened. Got paid.
I generally have a "people suck" attitude, but this restored my faith in humanity a little, along with the people from SR I've done business with being legit too.
I'm high. Sorry.
***edit: My last sentence wasn't a jab at OP. LOL I ramble when I'm high.**
-
+1 for being a trooper OP. :)
-
Thank you guys, that really means a lot to me. =)

this makes me want to post 11 bullshit posts to get to 100 posts to give you +1! lol :) ... which i wont....but heres a start lol...ill come back to you when i can man, you deserve it. You're a better man than I... and probably most of us here ;) ... most of us would of emptied that guys wallet of its cash, so good for you man! and karma is definitely real, hence your winning of 3 dollars, and the highly probable chance the person who scammed you is getting raped in the ass as we speak.... by a giraffe ;) ... hang in there man. its always good to have a reminder of who you are, and what you value in life.
eventual +1 man

Does anybody around here have any interesting thoughts to share on what has been happening with the Bitcoin exchange rates? The first batch I ever bought cost me $4.50 each. Now I'm looking at $11. Looking back, I wish I had the money and the brains to invest in it... I read some history and it seems BTC have been this high and even higher, but then there was a crash and now it's climbing back up, steadily. Anybody know what was the highest point BTC ever reached? And why it crashed? :o
-
It's quite clear what is happening to the BTC exchange rates lol. You just need to think logically, the BTC is no different to any other currency.

Had to come back with that +1 for ya Trainwrecked. :)

Just keep going OP, I've gotten scammed as well *cough* Tony* cough and there are always people trying to bring me down but the good guy always wins!
-
Did you get knocked over by Tony Delta? That seems like fuckin years ago now, I just started then and I hadn't even properly heard of him before the shit proper kicked off with that. I'd have probs got shagged as well if I had because he had good Coke didn't he?
