So I was at an ASDAs today, found a phone at the side of my car on the ground, assumed someone dropped it as they entered the car that was next to mine when I got there.
It was a Samsung Galaxy without pin lock so I browsed it and found 'home' in the contact list. I rang it, someone answered, I assume the owners dad or something as he said 'hi Katey, mum was wondering when you'd call'

Explained who I was and how I got the phone - kicker is he would not believe me and kept calling me a thief, said he'd boil me alive if I hurt his daughter etc.. Apparently 'Katey' came in as well and he asked her what happened, she started ranting about how I must have pickpocketed her phone and she'd never leave it anywhere etc.. Saying I was setting them up for a house robbery and calling me 'scum' etc..
Long story short I didn't exactly tell them I was at an ASDAs quite yet, just hung up and put the phone down exactly where I found it and drove off :o


I feel kind of bad now, what would you have done?
 
I would have told them to go **** themselves and threw the phone in a bin.

If I was feeling a little more charitable though, I would've turned the phone into a police station and thought nothing more of it. Can't say I'd feel charitable after that diatribe, mind.
 
Should have said It's not your fault their darling Katey is a useless **** and that you was trying to help them out then that your now going to put it under your car wheel and drive over it.... then do the above.

ungrateful gits
 
I probably would have run over the phone on my way out of ASDA if i got that reaction to be honest.
 
Should have dropped it off at the nearest police station. But yeah that kind of attitude from people sickens me and is all too frequent.
 
I would have told them to make sure their doors and windows were locked and then had a good laugh at the thought of them not sleeping, not before i had used katies facebook app to update her status telling all her friends she had herpes.
 
I'd definitely have run over the phone if they reacted like that after trying to do the right thing. Some people don't deserve the time of good people.

this this this! didnt think about that.

Status: Noshing off a herpes ridden tramp in Asda car park
 
Phoned a premium rate number before dropping it?

Seriously though, well done for doing the decent thing and even though those vacuous ingrates didn't appreciate your good act of human kindness there are many people out there who would have.

I just hope the first person they spin that yarn to tells them how ungratefully paranoid and stupid they were.

At that point I'd say you're crossing a line really. The police would actually have cause to look for you.
 
I'd have likely been slightly abusive back to him, told him to wind his neck in and that I'm putting the phone back on the carpark floor where I found it - "good luck getting here in time before someone else finds it and decides not to call you"
