Faith in the Human Race

[Dell Boy]

With all the negativity about I think it would be a good idea to have a thread where folk can post good maybe unexpected moments where people have shown an extra bit of kindness or thought.

For me I've just got off the phone to the owner of a shop I was in yesterday. Without realising it I'd left my credit card in the shop. With a bit of ingenuity he managed to track down my contact details and just called me then to say he had it in his safe keeping and that I shouldn't worry. I'll collect it tomorrow and in doing so will feel a little better with the world.

On the train a few months back I realised a guy had accidentally dropped/left his wallet but he had already got off, I was about to get it when a lad who didn't really look like the most honest of people picked it up and started going through it. There's me thinking he was looking to take money, next minute he was on the phone to the guy telling him he'd found his wallet and would wait at the station to return it.

Blowing my own trumpet a bit here but still...

Last year me and the wife went to Speke retail park and as I got out of the car I noticed a camera on the floor.
Nice little compact it was, Panny Lumix if I remember rightly.
Obviously I picked it up and since there was no-one in the immediate vicinity I put it in my car.

On the way home I was thinking that it would make a nice little camera for my daughter but then I thought what I'd be like if I'd lost mine.
Frantic, I'd be.

When I got home I started looking through the pics (no, not in a pervy way!) to see if there were any clues at all.
There were loads on it, holidays, general snaps then one of a wedding. On one of the wedding snaps you could make out the name of the church.
So I looked it up. It was the one on Church Road in Woolton so I rang it up and asked if I could bring it in so the vicar/priest/rabbi whatever could see if he knew them.
Turned out he knew them very well (it was their daughter's wedding a couple of weeks earlier) and he said he'd ring them up.
Later that evening I got a phone call of a very well spoken lady who was sobbing down the phone at getting her camera back. Turned out she hadn't got around to saving the wedding pics.

I still didn't win the lottery that week though.
<shakes fist at karma>

Ffs when I go the retail all I find is 14 year old girls who get dressed up to go to McDonalds...

To counter this good will, 16 year old Taliban victim Malala Yousafzai celebrated her birthday with a speech to the UN.

During this momentous occasion, "Miley Cyrus" was trending worldwide on Twitter.

Faith in humanity promptly lost again.

I did something very similar to this once when I was a kid. I picked a wallet up, walked to the sweet shop in Northwood and was about to hand it in. A fella was there who was asking the guy behind the counter if someone had handed in his wallet. I said I'd found a wallet down the road and gave it to him.

Did he thank me? Nope. He looked in the wallet and said, "you've robbed fifty quid out of this haven't you ya little b*stard?"

True story.

I'd have told him where to go!! Urgh, what a rude man.


Today I saw a little boy about 3/4 maybe who was in all his sporty/boy clothes and a little cap but then was pushing a bright pink toy pram around the supermarket. It was adorable to see - good parenting! I hate all the 'boys must wear blue, girls must wear pink' stuff.

Left my house key in L1 Pizza Hut a while back - guy working there literally chased me through L1 like some sort of James Bond scene to give me it back instead of just putting it in lost property or whatever.

Also dropped my card outside the Home & Bargain in the village. A woman had picked it up off the floor to stop it getting wet and stood round for 20 minutes waiting for someone to look like they'd lost something and gave me it back when she asked what I was looking for.

At Christmas I left my brand new boots which my girlfriend had just bought me in a shop which stayed open 20 minutes later than it should have just in case someone had realised they were missing a bag when all the shops had closed.

Basically, I'm a dosey [Poor language removed].

No mate that's not going to happen. I'm a new man at the minute trying to see the good in everyone. I'm going to go in to the shop tomorrow and give him £20 or something as a thank you.

very good mate what time you finish work.

It was late this evening mate about 8 or so I think. Off at a family wedding this weekend.

Take care C man!
