Finding money and P C Knobheads

chillin117

This morning at 7am found a 50 at Busaras Luas. Mentioned it to a guy(Knobhead) in work. He immediately jumped up on his soapbox and told me I should have handed it in, Store St Garda right beside you etc etc... So at 10.30 bought a sambo and said to him '' Only 46 left now'' and he blew a fuse ! So at lunchtime I topped up my phone and said ''Only 26 left now(Just to wind him up) and the ****er reported me for ''Not being honest'' to my manager ! So in the afternoon I got cream cakes for everyone and he hit the roof and walked out and went home ! What a bellend !
That's it really, I work with a knob. 50 is not worth my while reporting so I just spent it, The ''receiving guard'' probably would have done the same.
Would you just spend it ?

If no one around immediate area was looking distressed or alarmed , yes I would keep it.



Actually about two years ago I went to an ATM to withdraw money and right there in front of me was 150e still in the cash dispenser, not a sinner around, bit of a mystery, but that went in my pocket to.

If it's in a wallet hand it in if not it could be anyone's and the person claiming it's theirs could just have seen it the same time you did. I would give benefit of the doubt on a person looking for a €50 but if they could not tell you how much it was then nope.

Cream cakes for everyone, that's how I'd spend it too.

Don't the guards just keep it and unless someone comes and asks about it either give it back to you or keep it themselves? I doubt anyone would be going to the guards asking about 50 quid. I wouldn't anyway. Especially in Dublin you could have lost it anywhere!

I've found cash and kept it before, but in recent months given my very vocal disgust over the level of homelessness in Dublin and how the council is refusing to do anything but make the problem worse by reducing its housing stock, I'd feel like a total hypocrite if I did so now.

Would probably give it to the first homeless person I met. I have it on anecdotal authority from several people that if you hand found money into a Garda station, unless it's a very significant amount of money it tends to not make it very far from the person one handed it in to.

bodhrandude

Unless the person who lost it had their name written on the note, I wouldn't worry about it. :pac:

aaronjumper

Yeah as said if you see someone looking distressed, checking the floor or if it is in a wallet with I.D. then hand it in.
Otherwise just enjoy your luck and move on with your life.

Like the Guards are going to waste time trying to find a home for a 50.

KERSPLAT!

Real life trolling, nice OP :cool:

Oh sorry, did I come across as ''worried'' ?

What's "PC" about it?

Does "PC" now mean "something I dislike"?

Severard

The fact that you kept winding him up about it was great, ha ha. A bellend of the highest order.

Fleawuss

He didn't go home over you not handing it in. He went home over repeated baiting about it. You might look up what further action he can start with HR against you for that which is a far more significant workplace issue than what you did or didn't do with the 50.

Azalea

Nah €50 is a lot of money to some people, and that part of Dublin city centre isn't an affluent one. I agree with the guy you work with about handing it in (not sure what "PC" has to do with anything - that isn't the meaning of the term). If it was a tenner, different story - but €50 is more than a quarter of a job-seeker's weekly income (to put it in context).

racso1975

The guards hold it for 3 months when hand it in if nobody claims it they write to you to come get it. Happened my brother.....Still think he was a twat to hand it in.

Mr.Carter

You should tell him you bought a scratch card from it and won another €50.

Can't wait for Part 2 tomorrow.

You know it goes back into the atm and is refunded to the person's account after a short amount of time right?

You can ''Dig Deep'' what if etc, 50 is 50 = nothing really, Hardly found it in a sleepy village in the west did I ?

I think he means it's PC to hand in any money one finds.

I'm sure the Garda would be grateful. After all, Gardaí like cream cakes, too.

Found a 20 outside SV yesterday. I saw who dropped it, so I handed it back. I bet I still go to hell.

And what about this:

Three girls go for an interview.
They are asked the usual blah blah. Then they ask "if you were walking through Busaras and you find a €50, what would you do?
Girl1: I'd pick it up quickly, put it in my pocket and then buy cream cakes for everyone in the office
Girl2: I'd pick it up, ask around if anyone lost some money. if not, I'd put it in my pocket, cream cakes for the office etc.
Girl3: I'd bring it to Store St. Garda station, give them my details adn if it isn;t claimed within X months, I'd go back and collect it.

Which one got the job??

Ok, I don't like travellers but I cant say it, I think Its gone way over the top, You cannot express an opinion anymore but you are jumped on. If someone asks for your opinion, they should accept your opinion because they asked you. They may not agree but should accept it

I think Conor knows what PC means but is just saying your definition of it in the opening post is incorrect.

Trolling ? It's only 50 ? Are you Trolling ?

I found 70 euro at work a few months ago. Handed it in at reception but it was never claimed so they gave it back to me. I then gave it to charity because I'm awesome

Bongalongherb

€50 ? I'd just keep it and think nothing more of it. But as was said, if I saw a person looking on the ground frantically I'd go over and ask the person did they lose something and what exactly did they lose, if the person said €50 note I'd just give it to the person and carry on. Now if it was around €400 or more in an envelope that I found, I'd have to find the person to give it back to imo. You just don't know how bad that person would feel if they really needed it and by mistake just lost it. A few hundred is a lot of money for some folk.

If you leave it in the atm eventually the machine takes it back and re-credits the account that took it out

I'm not sure exactly, but it happened to me before and I realised it about 2 minutes later and went back to the bank where they told me that it was most likely taken back in and it turned up again about a month later in my account. I'd never heard of this before though and maybe it doesn't work on all atms

Fuzzy Clam

Deffo wouldn't hand it in the Guards. Found a watch years ago and handed it in . went to the station a year later to see if it had been claimed. Guard behind the counter had no record of me handing it in. Surprise, surprise.;)

You left out the repeated bit about the baiting. If HR don't do something about it then it will be worth more than 50.....to the guy who was baited.
