A long time ago now I gave a guy back his wallet that he had dropped on the floor - and no, i didn't check to see how much money was in it.
More recently I gave my parnter some money to give to a homeless guy and we alway buy the Big Issue (only from authorised sellers though).
It's Deja-vu all over again!

I saw an elderly woman drop a tenner in the street in Croydon and so I picked it up, chased after her, and gave it back. She was so grateful she was almost crying.
I got to the station, went to buy an ice cream, and found I didn't have enough cash on me. The woman had long gone by then, selfish old bat.

http://forums.contractoruk.comThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I once gave a contractor the time. But as he was going to an interview through another agency I gave him the wrong time.
At least it's a start

A doddery old geezer phoned up the company saying we'd sold him a faulty chicken rotisserie and he wanted to return it. I told him that we're a software company and that we most certainly hadn't.
He just hung on the phone confused, and I wasn't doing anything else at the time, so I took his number and some details, tracked down the chicken rotisserie company he was really after, and put him through.Comment

Excellent Sir !put him through.
Had me in stitches :-)Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
