No it happens here. Except when it happens in America it's largely related to some huge scam.
=/ Expect some asskicking when your friend finds out.
Karmakarmakarmakarmakarma
What goes around, comes around. I would've given it back.
He's gonna kick my ass over three dollars that he may never realize he even lost?
Damn.
Maybe he likes kicking asses... Y'know one of them new-age fetishes?
If that's how you treat friends, I'd hate to be your enemy.
A penny found is a penny earned.
Three dollars found is three hundred times better.
It's only three dollars :cool:
Isn't it, a penny saved is a penny earned?Quote:

buy some pie
You're a terrible person, and it would buy at least 14 cans of carbonated drink here.
Mik now: would've given it back.
Mik in his early teens: would've kept it ( depending on his financial situation).
You know, $3 really isn't that much money, but that's not the point. It's the principle behind it. If someone (especially a friend) drops/loses something and you happen to pick it up, it's expected of you to at least notify the person that you found it. YOU SUCK!
No, he's going to kick your ass when he realizes $3 is worth more to you than friendship. Or honesty. Or human decency. Or not being a crap.Quote:

I dound TWENTY dollars the day before yesterday, but no-one was around so I had no way of finding out whose it was. I kept it, then bought afternoon tea for a friend and myself.
If your friend is the kind of guy who keeps being a pain just for fun, then try this someday: offer to buy drinks or hotdogs or something, then hand over three dollars. Once you've finished eating or drinking, say "By the way, that money used to be yours. You dropped it last week. Thanks!" and see how he reacts.
Alternately, you could do the basic, decent, honest, moralistic thing and give it back. After all, he may have been sent to Earth in human form to test your altruism. You never know...
Haha, it's Jesus and you failed.
God doesn't test people.
Omg it's 3$. I bet linus does things 300 000 000 000 000 ^ pi(e) (thanks Big D) times more heinous than that regularly.
Not terribly familiar with Job, are we PG?
Hey, free monkey. I mean money.
Use the money to buy yourself something and that's just not cool.
Use the money to buy him something and he'll think you're really cool.
Give the money back and you'll actually be really cool.
I'm with 'Chao on this one. I mean, seriously. Don't steal from your friends. Steal from your family like a decent kid.
If a pirate did this it would be cool, so unless you're a pirate or affiliated with a pirate I'm sorry but you suck. :trout:
These comments would worry me if any of this stuff was true.
Free money! I want some!
I voted the Raistlin option.
Exactly son, exactly. If you can't trust a friend to return a simple three dollars, then can you trust him for something big? It's the principle of it.Quote:

Morality is so highly overrated in practice, although the concept is admirable. Nevertheless, remind yourself of the benefits you recieve from a trusting relationship with a friend and what you stand to lose if he ever realised you were the one who had his missing money and never told him... Best to at least cover your tracks, although coming clean and giving it back would be easier and probably increase his respect for you... after he gets over the fact that you didn't give it back right on the spot.
Also, $3 isn't worth the hassle if they find out. Better steal more.
You people need to stop believing what Linus says. Jeez. Then again, a liar isn't that far from a thief. :)
Raistlin has only been sucking for 18 years :(
