Do-Gooder NO MORE

This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by LibrasRule36! on Friday, October 9, 2009 and has 31 replies.
So, I am work and went to the ladies room. I go to wash my hands and there is a sapphire and diamond gold ring sitting on the counter. I was the only one in the ladies room (I didn't see any feet under the stalls) so I pick the ring up to take it to the security desk which is less than 12ft from the ladies room. On the way there, I see this woman fly by me. I get to the desk and the guard is checking in a visitor so I wait patiently for him to acknowledge me. The lady who whizzed by me is now at the security desk (looking sorta frantic). I'm just thinking to myself that she needs to wait her turn as I have been waiting for mine.
That's when it happens - She looks in my hand which happens to be rested on the counter and shrieks "Where did YOU get that!!?? It's mine!" Before I could hand it to her she grabbed the ring out of my hand.
Everybody got quiet, stopped moving, and stared at us and I feel my ears, neck, & face get hot. I explained to her that I saw the ring in the bathroom and was at the desk to turn it in to the Lost & Found. After she saw (and heard) that I was irritated she started with some lame ass story that it was a Mother's Day present from her children blah, blah, blah. All the while I look at her like she has an eye in the middle of her forehead and waited for her to at least thank me.
THE HEIFER NEVER EVEN THANKED ME!
The moral of this story is: My happy ass will continue to do what I've been doing - leave people's shit in the bathroom where it belongs! (Someone is ALWAYS leaving something in the bathroom like keys, cells, brushes, makeup, coins, documents, sweaters, etc around here. Normally I don't touch them BUT I felt compelled to take this ring to security - Well, never again)
Sad

BTW - I am just mad right now and realize that MOST people are grateful when someone finds something that is valuable to them.

But still...

Aww. I'll thank you for her. You did a good thing.


Thanks, Jason. I 'think' I am mad because I don't like scenes and everybody was staring at me. I was so,so embarrassed.

Do good because thats who you are. If you expect people to thank you then you'll be disappointed.


Bravo, Dew. Bravo.

It's not the thankyou that matters, with a Libra it's the drawing of attention to the situation that effects us. We dont like scenes good or bad, as LR36 said she was hot and flustered and everyone was staring...
but yeah, doing good comes naturally to us so picking that ring up and taking it straight to lost and found, I bet you didnt consider anything else.

Girl, I hear you -- BUT, don't let ignorant a $ $ people stop YOU from doing what's right. I always do stuff like that, and there is an expression "No good deed goes unpunished" and while that has been my experience too. I do what's right not because of any other reason than the fact that it's the right thing to do...even if most others don't. With that being said, even in this horrible, ugly world, there are STILL good people out there that return wallets w/OUT taking the $ , etc. Quick example - me and some of my girlfriends went to the NBA All Star Game in L.A. several years ago. We had gone shopping at the Chanel store on Rodeo Drive. My friend bought a bag of makeup. We went to lunch. Left the restaurant, only to my friends horror to remember she left her bag in the restroom. Well, it was a ZOO all over the place with all those people, but guess what - some honest person turned her stuff into the restaurant, and the restaurant was honest too, and gave the bag to my friend when she explained it was hers and provided proof. So, there are still some good people in the world. So, since that woman didn't say it, "THANK YOU!" Now, here's a cookie smile

Oh, I totally get that not drawing attention thing - I can't stand that either, and my ex who was a Libra, HATED scenes too. If we were mad at one another, nobody would ever know. We were not into public displays good or bad. He always thought people who made scenes and stuff were stupid, and even if they were right about something, they still ended up looking bad because they didn't handle the situation with class or tact! I had to agree with him on that!

::::::::::UPDATE::::::::::

Ok, so this morning when I get to my office I see that the message indicator light is red. So I log into the system and listen to my messages and one message is from security saying that a package is at the front desk for me. I go to the front desk and ask for the package - it's a white letter sized envelope. I open it and see two free movie passes inside [ from the lady who left her ring on the bathroom counter.]
This gesture tickled me - I STILL have not gotten a verbal apology but it's ok; I guess this IS her way of thanking me. Besides, these tickets are just in time because I definately will use them to go see The Stepfather smile

BTW - If I happen to see her I'll be sure to say "Thanks." Tongue

Ooooops typo -

Exactly. (Although a thank you would have been nice but, whatever. That's what *I* would do if someone found something valuable to me. Like I said before I know most people would've been grateful)
Our lobby where the security desk is located is huge and minimally furnished. The floors and walls are marble and ALL sounds are magnified x 1000. Even speaking at a normal tone is loud so you could imagine the sound of a frantic shrieking lady - recipe for embarrassing scene!

Jeez, she got you movie tickets and you're still not satisfied...if you wanted to be worshipped for doing the right thing, you might as well have kept the ring.

Just sayin'


What the hell? I see reading for comprehension isn't your thing...where did I say I wanted to be worshipped.
You can save the drama.

Its not the muscle she should be afraid of.... It's the switchblade and the billy club combined with my acute intermittent explosive anger disorder that she should fear!

LL, you are much too much! You can bring it down 1000 degrees and get out of arse-kicking mode now...she left 2 free movie passes for me at the security desk Tongue
They definately will be used because I WANT to go see The Stepfather this Friday.
details
LOL!! I saw that! That's good, at least she made and attempt to say thank you in her own way. Maybe she was too embarrassed to face you after her little outburst!

LOL...I know one thing - I sure as hell was embarrassed Tongue
The gesture tickled me b/c I realized that she may have been a little ashamed.
