I hate to admit this, but I am not perfect! Ok, I know, you already know that I am not perfect - nobody is. However, I made what could have been a costly mistake yesterday, but fortunately because of an honest person it all turned out well. What happened, you ask? I went to the ATM machine at my bank to withdraw some cash and left my ATM card in the machine. Stupid, I know, but I need to rant a little here. Why does the machine hold on to the card so long anyway? It takes so long for the money to come out that by the time you get your money you forgot your card was still in the machine and you just want to grab the cash and go, which, unfortunately, is what I did. At the gas station you get to hold on to your card the whole time. Rant over...back to my story. Fortunately, the woman who used the ATM Machine after me saw the card and turned it in to the bank. I was not home when the bank called to notify me of my missing card, but Alan was home and took the call. [Side note: Alan couldn't work yesterday because he was prepping for his bi-annual colonoscopy. He had about 7 polyps removed but they were small so he gets to wait a whole year until his next probe. Yay!]
So, my word to the wise: if you go to the ATM, don't drive off without your ATM card because your story could end different than mine. I am going to be a lot more careful from now on. Honesty really is the best policy, especially when it turns out in your favor!
Dishonesty, seriously, is one of my biggest pet peeves. I strongly believe that most, if not all, of the world's problems could be solved if people were COMPLETELY honest in all they do and say. This world would be a much better place to live if honesty prevailed.
