Ive returned one or two cellphoens ive found on the back steps when leaving cinemas behind teh screens.

Taken both to the service counter and turned htem over, or two the clean up employees that come in afterwards.

Remember that time, like 2 summers ago we were downtown by the CIBC building b/c Derek had to get out money and some drunk chick just left the bank and crossed the street and dropped a crap load of 20s. I dunno if it was you or one of the other people were with...but we told her she dropped the money and she was so thankful b/c it was $100 or more.



Also...if I see people drop things, even if it's just a little toy that a child has dropped I always pick it up and let the person know. I lost things ALL the time, so I know how crappy it feels when you lose even the smallest thing.

I found one of those USB jump drives in Niagara Falls last yr on the road where I pulled my car over. Took it into work, was able to go thru some documents and figure out the owner, who lived in TO. I emailed him to tell him I'd found it, and he said it was important to him, so I dropped it off at his place. His wife offered a reward but I refused. It's all good.

IN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY!!

you know Jaxy1 - if this was a third country world, you would never seen that fucking passport again.

Manila was a stopover on the way to thailand. Cheaper flight that way (saved half).

Weird place. Looks like latin america but everyone speaks english and looks asian. Very poor though. And ive never seen such cheap prices! Shopping there is amazing.

As for the third world comment. I once dropped a $20 US bill in Argentina and had the shopkeeper come running after me to return it.

Manila is in the Philipines yes...south east asians...thus the reason they look asian. There is some Spanish decent in there as well. Unfortunatly you are right now, it's not that rich of a country.

i would have done the same... i remember finding cell phones and calling the ppl and having them pick them up from my house... some of them didnt even say thank you but u know what.. thats their call not mine im a nice person and i would want someone to do that to me if they found my phone thats why i do it

I was bouncing at a bar one night and I saw a guy pull about 300 bucks from the atm he then took his recept and card and left the money in the slot. I grabbed the money before another drunk patron used the machine and took it. I then went up to him and handed the cash back. he was very very thankfull. I then informed him he was cut off at the bar since he had clearly had too much if he forgot in a 30 second period of time that he had withdrawn 300 bucks and left it. (his speech also confirmed it). i caught him with a drink his buddy gave him like 5 minutes later, he got the boot.
It was really bitter sweet to be nice like that and then have to ask him to leave a few minutes later.

I had my phone stolen out of my car while I was at a job site for a few minutes this summer. I called it and the guy picked up. I asked if I could have my phone back, he said no and hung up. I called back again and offered him 250 for it bc I needed the numbers out of it and he couldn't resell a telus phone for much after i called it in stolen... he told me to get lost. that was that.

I had a buddy in Toronto who did the same when his phone got stolen, the guy agreed to meet up but only for 200 bucks. he agreed and showed up with five buddies and took his phone back and walked away telling the thief to go f*ck himself. I was hopefull for the same result but the guy who took mine didn't take the bait.

if it was lost then I totally would have honoured a reward for it.

Originally posted by Doza At the risk of sounding cocky and "full of myself", i just wana tell this story. I was at the local comic store a couple months ago and i found a 100 dollar bill just sitting there on the shelf. Then i looked over and saw that this little kid crying and explaining to his dad how he had it but he must have dropped it somewhere. I could have easily kept it but decided to give it back. Now that's great and all, but what pissed me off was that neither the dad OR the kid (he was like 12 or 13) said thank you. The dad just fuckin yanked the bill outa my hand and went off. Don't know what the point of that story is, but it just really got me mad.

lol what a douchbag, I woulda taken that shit back!

The rudness and lack of respect for people amazes me. ******s.

The people in Manila were SUPER nice. Unbelievable. Armed guards everywhere and security to the max. You had to get frisked to get into the local mall! But even the security guards on the streets would always smile as you walked past and say "good evening sir". Truely classy people in such a rough environment. Very polite.

I really hope the phillipines can get it's act in order because my brief encounters with it's people have left me with a very good impression.

Wow, can't believe someone returned it. Maybe there's hope for humankind yet.

but it has all the souvenir stamps of the places ive been.

Do you have to return this passport when you get a new one issued? What happens to the stamps then?

they cancel the photo page and clip the corner making it void. But you still get to keep it.

Well I'm really glad that you had a great experience there. It's always nice to have nice security guards, b/c although you have to get frisked and stuff to go into the mall, it doesn't seem as bad when the guards are trying to be extra friendly.

I've always wanted to go to the Philipines and my mom promised she'd take me, so I hope it happens! It's a beautiful country...from the pictures I've seen. I really hope they can get their act together though like you said. It's too bad that it's a fairly poor country. My mom was telling me this morning that there are some pretty wealthy people that live there...when she grew up there she had a maid, a chauffer, a woman that made her clothes and such...but then there are other people that are living in those big cement sewer tunnel things (before they're put in the sewer - you see ppl skateboarding in them all the time), b/c they have no where to live

sometimes the girls working the door at Guv are a little 'extra friendly' with me. I've had my nuts held on more than one occasion. Once I almost felt the need to go and get tested because of how 'friendly' one of them was. I even told her I don't normally go that far without at least a first date, she didn't seem amused and carried on. I then introducted myself and gave her a wink.

I walked away and shook my head, I then cried myself to sleep that night after hanging my head in shame all evening.

i saw some crazy shantys even in the short time i was there. Its definately the poorest country ive ever been to. But even still it has an amazing mall in Makati called Glorieta. Very modern and so cheap!!

Shopping in the phillipines is by far the best selection for the best value ive ever seen on my travels.

Funny you mention the maids and the chauffers. In argentina many middle class people have these things. When i explain to them that only super super rich people in canada have those luxuries (or even the luxury of someone else doing their wash) they look at me with confusion. Because they always think that no matter how good they have it there, life is always better in "the first world". Its one of the biggest illusions of our time.
