I need to VENT!!!!!!! Because I'M MAAAAD!! ??????
I need to VENT!!!!!!! Because I'M MAAAAD!! ??????I just went to Woolworths to pick up a few things. I'm waiting in the queue and I dropped a R100 note (yep that's me trying to hold everything because I didn't want a trolley). The lady in front of me picked it up. I thanked her and held my hand out, and she said, "The things found on earth are kept by the collector," and walks away.
??I was like oh HELL NO!! I looked at the person behind me standing in line, they couldn't believe it either.... this can't be real life right now, right?!
So I took a deep breath and I turned back towards the lady/thief/or whatever you wanna call her and as I approached her I said, "Do I look like I'm in the mood?! Let's not play games. Go ahead and give me back my money."
She had the nerve to ignore me completely and TRIED to walk away from me... SOOOOO, of course, I left everything and followed her to the car park as I was calling the police (because of course somebody's about to go to jail... not sure who at this point though, her or me). She was almost running at this point to get away from me, which was the first sign of real intelligence ?? this lady had shown. ?? When she got to her car she put her bags on the ground trying to quickly get her boot open.
I was boiling at this point! I decided that her “finders keepers" rule just presented the perfect opportunity for a great teachable moment... SO... I ran full speed ( probably not that fast), and grabbed her shopping bags, and headed to my car yelling, "The things found on earth are kept by the collector!"
I got in my car ignoring her every attempt to get my attention. I was outta line I'll admit, but she was too. I was MAD ?? but I had a sense of satisfaction at the same time. Anyone who knows me knows that I've never stolen anything so this is completely out of character for me. But anyway I get home and open the bags and what did I find?
3 packs of fillet steak
3 kgs of wild caught salmon
2 kgs of potatoes
And...
A six pack of Heineken
I can't help but think to myself... WOW! Not bad for R100 ??????
In all seriousness.... this is just a joke to see who would read the entire post.
If you made it...please copy and paste and sit back and enjoy ??????. Hopefully, I just put a smile on your face!????

But what the hell, the finders keepers law (in SA law too) is that you have to make a reasonable attempt to find the original owner
I would write a complaint to the shop and expect a refund as well. and a video camera feed of her stealing.
How much is 100 SA rupees? 7 euro?
But it does feel like a breakdown of society. could have gotten a lot of likes on youtube
no idea what i would do.
Laughed out loud.
Thanks for that
Thanks for the laugh.
So you didn't invite someone over for a romantic dinner?
That would have been a happy ending.
Must wonder how she would act the next time, did she learn something
Was almost disappointed to find it didn't actually happen...
As I was reading it....I was thinkin ..."you go girl"....
Nice! Half way through I suspected that you were having us on. I would suspect this sort of thing to happen in Gauteng, Limpopo, or Kwazulu but never in Capetown.
Nice story! Did the police show up?
not a chance. The normal excuse is a lack of transportation.
I know it sounds funny, but it is the holy truth. They tell it to you straight over the phone and when you drive out there the place is cluttered with police vehicles.
