OK, a bit of a funny situation.
I had a grocery delivery.
It came and the perishable goods were given in a closed bag.
My routine is to tell the delivery guys to wait a minute while I inspect the order and close the door.
So I open the bag part and there is an extra item I didn't order.
A huge portion of premium imported beef steaks.
I never order steaks and without a thought, I double check that I didn't order it by accident and then proceeded to open the door and hand over the mistake (or missed - steak if you please).
Well the delivery guys were truly flabbergasted. They got very agitated and didn't seem to know what to do. They insisted that I inspect the printed receipt that they bring. which I did. The total would have been triple my total if I had ordered it.
So they reluctantly took it back, looking like they still had no idea how it got there in the first place or who it actually should be delivered to, if anyone, then I paid, and bye bye.
So why this story?
Why didn't I just keep the steaks?
I'm not vegetarian after all.
Suppose they later deduced that I was primary suspect based on their delivery history and which customers got closed bags?
Well so what? They could prove it how?
Would you have kept the steaks assuming you realized you could get away with it?
Would your first thought be automatically I'm handing it back OR thinking about or even keeping it?
The x factor was that being honest became a bit of an annoying hassle for me as they didn't seem to want it back.
Also and of course I can't really read the delivery guy's minds I kind of got the feeling that rather than being grateful and respecting me for being honest and giving it back, that they rather considered me a fool for not keeping it.
Like if it was them, they would have kept it, so what kind of freak is this farang?
