Traci is always excellent at playing a villain lol! She’s literally the best actor on the history of WWYD.

Actually seeing someone drop it vs just randomly finding it is completely different. I've found $50 on the ground before and wasnt about to take it to a cashier in the hopes that someone would try and claim it knowing good and well it would go right in their pocket.

[@josephina4678]

yes if I see that someone has dropped I will give it back immediately. In this scenario it's really obvious that it was dropped by the cashier so I would give it back. But if I would just find money that's not too much and it's just laying around... yeah it's mine now

[@alexaonther0x]

Very true. One time when I worked in the Dollar Tree I found a 20 on the floor in the middle of an empty aisle. I picked it up and stupidly(?) handed it over to my manager asking her to hold it in case someone comes to claim it. She said ok and put it in her pocket. I wish I'd had kept it and waited to see if someone reported missing $20 but somehow I thought I'd get in trouble for not handing it in 🤷‍♀️

[@Supersoccerchic]

@@josephina4678 I do the same thing and yet I'm called "selfish" because it's not mine in the first place. I know it's bad to do that but if no one is around and I didn't see who dropped it or it's on the ground outside, I'm taking the money. What if you find $20 out on the sidewalk? Are you telling me it's selfish of me to pick up that money? No, it's not because it's just lying on the ground.

[@Supersoccerchic]

@@alexaonther0x Next time, don't be stupid. If I was in your shoes, I would have kept that money in my pocket.

It was probably tough to reenact this scenario multiple times and get someone to react properly. A lot of things have to go perfect

[@mr.x8259]

The fact is, without cameras or witnesses, people will always take the money.

[@Supersoccerchic]

I would and I seriously hope I wouldn't get in trouble or get ratted out by the people around me. If you have no business talking to a stranger or judging me because I took money, you need a hobby or a job. People really need to mind their own business these days and stop meddling in other people's lives that is of no concern to them.

[@ultimakey3111]

Are you joking? Just because it’s what you’d do doesn’t mean it’s what everyone else would do. Some people don’t have main character syndrome.

[@simpleplanfan011]

I had the opportunity to take a wallet someone dropped and it had several $100s in it. I didn’t and chased down the guy instead. He gave me a $20 for giving it back. Do the right thing and good things will come to you.

[@Priya3]

@@SupersoccerchicYou're so right. I just hope you don't cry when your own money is stolen and people "mind their own business" rather than helping you. It feels good when you get away with it but when the same happens to you, you won't be saying the same thing. Imagine if everybody had the same mindset as you have and criminals were left alone.

[@NeroBaelside13]

If I see someone drop money or I know who it belongs to I will always make sure they get it back. But if I find money and there's no discernable way to tell who dropped it, that's another story. I lack trust in strangers so I'd assume after turning it in someone will try to claim it even when it's not theirs. Same if I went asking random people if they dropped their money. Someone might lie about it.

[@Supersoccerchic]

Yeah so? If I saw money just lying on the ground, I'm pocketing it. I don't care if it's wrong. I'm pocketing any money I find on the ground. I don't even care if it's dirty sometimes. Free money is free money, especially if there's no one else around to claim it. I don't care if it's $1 or $500, if it's on the ground, it's free for the taking, especially if I didn't see who dropped it.
