I'm TOUCHED!!!!


vera.chandler I'm really touched friends from this news at
Vera.
vera.chandler One more thing to add AED 500/- for such a great deed by such a low earning worker, is toooooooooo LOW :( What do you think?? I love Zakaath..... atleast like that, the bahraini could have give little more. What do you think? Vera. Captain Australia Who has 55K dhs in their wallet? Even in 1000s it must have been huge! But yes, that Bahraini (?) is a bloody cheapskate. 500Dhs? He should have at least got a few thousand. He should have thought of it as idiot tax for a) keeping that much cash on him and b) bloody losing it. What a lovely story though. That man is a champion. If there were more people like him in the world.... Captain Australia PS: Holy sh!t. 750 a month? I earn more than that in a day. Snow He really is very cheap guy. But maybe the 55k was his entire life savings and couldn't afford to give more. desertdudeshj Its usually these kind of people who are the most honest, I've returned extra change on an occasion on two but I'm sure I would have 2nd thoughts about the 55k. Even if for a few fleeting moments. Some years ago a friend of mine who worked then as a driver for Budget rent a car, was driving a return back to station when in the back seat pocket found an A4 size envelop sh!t load of cash didn't bother to count it, and yes returned in. No rewards ! vera.chandler
No rewards !
Thats so mean... vera.chandler
In a day!!! thatz a gud newz now in recession.
HOW MUCH would you have given if your 55K was lost and returned????
Answer sincerelyall of you-
Me: 5000 dhirhams for sure.

10 percent is a reasonable finders fee, so 5k is fair, and especially for such a low wage earner.
You know quite a few people refuse to accept a reward anyway, poor or not poor. I refused in the past when finding a lady's purse because I don't need the money, and anyway giving the help is it's own reward. I'm sure most of us are the same. But for taxi drivers or labouring staff to refuse (as they often do unless you really press hard) is far more noble. Snow
I would accept the reward, coz if I don't, it would deprive the other person from from feeling good about himself/herself by not allowing him/her do something good in return, and it would also make me look like someone who thinks she's too good to be rewarded by others.

vera.chandler I wanted to know how much each one of you would pay if you were in place of the bahraini, who got back the money
Vera. Captain Australia I'd give him 5K Speedhump
I have to follow you until you drop something.... RobbyG
Where was it you live? Ah yes....
...I'm not waiting for the 'price' to drop ;) Bora Bora
Of course you would accept the reward you little troll. We can only hope that you would do something useful with it - like getting your face waxed. I bet you are so ugly that you mother had to tie a porkchop bone around your neck just to get the dog to play with you!! desertdudeshj
:shock: FIGHT ! FIGHT ! FIGHT !
So where ? In the parking lot after school :D Misery Called Life
Women play easy now...and Bora Bora man you've got a sharp tongue! Speedhump
OMG!!!! :D Serious trashing LOL. Speedhump
come on man, in the playpool I filled with mud here just for the occasion...
RobbyG
You are not a teen sissy now are ya? ;) Bora Bora
Like you didn't appreciate it. Actually I was being kind. RobbyG
Speedhump now we're cooking! Speedhump
True...seeing you spit fire is pure joy :D RobbyG I'll bet its because of the puppy eyes she got there as a Kitten. I'm in love with them ;) Misery Called Life
Dignified son, that's what I prefer! RobbyG
Never heard of the Wild Wild West, now did you son?
:lol: Bora Bora Bora Bora
Watch it MCL you could be next. I am feeling very feisty today. And that was me being kind to the troll. Misery Called Life @ Bora is your husband at home as intimidated of you, as I am right now? :lol: Bora Bora
he wovs me. it's me that's a pussycat at home Misery Called Life
ha ha thats endearing! :)
دق الخشب duqq al-khashab (knock on wood) kanelli Bora Bora hun, you've been losing it lately and it's been an interesting read! I soooo know how it feels to lose it once in a while :lol: RobbyG
I luv honest woman...so sexy :wink: kanelli :wink: Bora Bora
K, hun, that was me showing my sense of humor. :D rudeboy its better then having no reward. Snow
Troll!!! Thanx I love looking like a troll, characteristics that are highly valued by me and that are more down to Earth than any other.
I suppose I should take your advise on how to spend my money and to start waxing my face Mrs. High Position Jolie.
And oh, if you think I'm ugly then so are you...! Bora Bora
I told you its YOUR HIGHNESS.
And, yeah, nah nah nah nah nah Snow Right, what's yeah nah nah ...supposed to mean? portland It only shows that there is still somehonest people in a place like this or in the world. I wouldn't accept the reward if it was me, im content and happy that im done something good. Speedhump exactly. and you spread karma by showing the person you helped that money isn't the root of all happiness. Bora Bora I think that the good feeling you get from doing something good is reward enough. Speedhump I think you meant to post that in reply to my comment after you in the other thread.... ;) portland yup, money is just a paper and can be spent on with just a zip. while the feelings of good deads roots down to your concience, something that is worth while you can carry even from the grave. rudeboy yeh it doesnt really matter how much he got or why the bahraini was greedy in giving only 500dhs. if i did something like that i wouldnt be sad if i got no reward whatsoever but i would be happy knowing that I did a good thing in my life. Bora Bora
good things come in many different ways. ahhhhh :D Speedhump the title of this thread is 'I'm touched'...come over here.... :D Bora Bora
thanks, I needed that. Give me a sec while I get my commando gear off. Misery Called Life The 55k I'd return, the reward? Well if ur giving me one then it better be out of genuine gratitude, not some flimsy dhs 500 note! I'm sure with this Bahrani dude, who recieved his lost moolah, the issue was who returned the cash. Lets say an Emirati woman returned the cash, you think he'd give her 500 bucks? He kinda figured that the labourer would be satisfied with 500 bucks. If a labourer returned the cash to me I'd reward him with maybe a 1000 bucks, and I'd definately keep in touch with him. I'd make him a friend! Bora Bora
google it you simpleton and leave the yeah off. Snow We all know that money is not the root of all happiness, but I see no harm in accepting the reward. I'm doing no harm to anybody by accepting the reward and you cannot avoid money or being involved with money in this world, so I see no point in going out of my way just to prove that "it isn't about the money" even if it really isn't about the money. Speedhump
shouldn't take long seeing as going commando is about the absence of 'gear' (I wonder how many people think we're nuts) :P Bora Bora
Only those who don't get it.
I'm the exceptionto the rule. I'm packing. Snow
You're packing??? Noooooooo. I hate to see you leave. Bora Bora
Do not speak of which you no nothing about you twit.
Did you google: nah nah nah nah nah? RobbyG
For real: Me too :cry: Speedhump
Um, that comment seems weird in a pre-op kind of way.... :shock: WhiteJade
I regret sooo not rewarding the labor who had my purse returned or making friends with him...otherwise I might be leading a way happier life now :roll: Speedhump
One small act of negative karma won't be punished by dire consequences I'm sure. Just consider that luck or fortune plays a big part in our lives, no matter how hard we try to plan. Hang in any keep trying. ;) Bora Bora
WJ are you being a clever little bird here? Did I catch something that someone may have missed? hehe WhiteJade
Deep~BB, what's that :?: Stylinexpat
I agree with the 10% part. The guy should have given him a bit more then what he gave him as a reward. :roll: Show just how far down some gulf nationals look down on their foreign laborers. :roll:
That man will be rewarded one day in heaven for his good deeds. Wish there were more good men around like this man.[/i] Snow
Pure BS. Next time learn to say it face to face. WhiteJade
Say what :?: Misery Called Life
You really do believe in Karma, eh? But isn't it contrdictory you talk Karma, and then you say Luck? I mean aren't the two absolute antonyms? Snow
Oh so you don't know what to say now that you're given the chance...how sad! Just say what you need to say, silly. Bora Bora
WJ, ignore her. She's a total twisted twit. WhiteJade
Wow enlightening. So grateful. Misery Called Life
Haha heaven? Where is that? In the Burj? Maybe at the French Rivieras? Speedhump
I don't think so. Is Karma the same thing as pre-determination? I didn't think so. I don't think a belief in Karma excludes the existence of luck or fortune, but tell me more if you know it, I'm no expert :D Speedhump
WJ this Snow is a complete idiot. She (?) does this at people completely for no reason. I also suggest you ignore. ;) Misery Called Life
Neither am I, thats why I asked!
Karma is my opinion is sumthing you and you alone are responsible for. As they say, What goes around, comes around! It's your actions today, that will define your tomorrow.
When you talk luck, destiny, it's mysterious. Leads to superstition, false beliefs.....How can man control luck? If man had a destiny that was pre-determined, then how a concept like Karma make sense? Speedhump We are blind men leading each other by the hand here :D We need an expert I think... But anyway, Karma (if you believe in it) is a world force, the effects of your actions don't necessarily come back to you immediately or even in the near future. But ultimately your actions should reflect back to you. But in the short term, do random occurrences, call them good or bad luck/fortune, also still occur? These are things which occur outside of your sphere of influence, and have effects on you, and it's your responses that affect your Karma. Or is it that ALL events are the result of Karmic force? If so then my belief in the existence of luck or fortune is wrong. I know some people would say that belief in luck, Karma, and other similar concepts are just superstition anyway. I wish I knew more as it's an interesting concept. RobbyG
You are absolutely childish you know that. Pathetic at times.
Your undertag has gone loser style. Its the lowest you can go, Snow, against people in-a-tag. Plus that avatar you got there doesn't increase you credibility either with your Loony Tunes crap. I say you are a 5 year old from my perspective. Bora has proven herself worthy.
So I think that you need to go back to your childish playground and dig in the sandbox. I see you found yourself a bigger one now with Snow in it. The sandbox called Dubai. :idea: Snow
Is that so? Thank you for giving me an insight on what you think the situation is in your messed up mind, but I have to say that I totally disagree with you Robby G. RobbyG
Obviously, otherwise you would have grown up already and removed that 'lower than low' personal attack on people from your undertag.
Miss Messy Snow uaekid robbyg, the name bully boy really fits you now LOL, look at your self ! going around the forum fighting and calling ppl names, running after the girls (don't try hard, they saw your pics ) and high jacking every thread and turning it into a fight zone. you became worst than me :) childhood issues robbyg or is it trying to attention ? RobbyG
You're dreamin' again Kid.
I'm just protecting some friends here. :lol: Snow Lol. Keep it going. You're going somewhere with this trust me. Sharp Hmm!!... I think we're not focusing the ToPic!!......... Come baCk to Dubai!!........... Bora Bora
Snow. Just when we all thought you had hit bottom you have shown once again that you can sink even lower.
I have yet to see anyone take a personal attack on another member with their undertag.
You have demonstrated that you have no class, lack any kind of intelligence and that you are very childish and negative.
I don't know if I should be flattered or afraid of you seeing the interest you have taken in me. Using me in your undertag is, IMHO, the only way you can strike out at me. Well, you missed your mark because hell would freeze over the day you can toe to toe with me. You just don't have the wit or intelligence to do it any other way. And do you realize how you embarrass yourself?
Keep the undertag it doesn' have any affect on me. In all the time you have been using it I have not acknowledged it. The only reason I am doing so now is that a friend of mine, something I don't think you have, defended me. Speedhump
That's just wrong. This snow person is running round attacking people for absolutely no reason at all, complete nonsense posts. Bora has lost her sense of humour as I did, and now Robby has, and rightly so. Why don't you get a big coffee, sit and look back a few days and read some? Read back to where snow has first made some irrational comment about a person in various threads.
Then apologise to Robby ;) RobbyG
This is what I call an honest and supportive character I could definately be friends with.
I wish there were more of this kind of people on DF. :idea:
Thanks SH. Speedhump I will in fact support anyone who I believe is getting a raw deal. Doesn't mean I always agree with you and the same the other way round I know. But there's nothing wrong with trying to be fair ;) RobbyG
I guess you are the same like me. Way to elaborate when its not really necessary 8) :wink: vera.chandler Now please...please....please..... STOP this. I never thought dubaiforum was such a fighting stage. Forget everything and be frendz again. SHAKE hands and come on.. Vera. sage & onion
WTG Vera :lol: vera.chandler ???? RobbyG
I like your avatar. Always been a fan of BMW.
Way To Go Vera !!!! (WTG-V) :wink: sage & onion
Its OK, I'm just supporting you peacemaking efforts. RobbyG
And I just helped you a little by explaining those ackward looking forum slang...Vera doesn't understand at first.
Now she does. My pleasure Sage. 8) sage & onion
Thank you RG, such a gentleman you are RobbyG I knew you had some dignity left ;) sage & onion
Some????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I'm full of it m8 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: vera.chandler Thanks for the compliment on my avtar. sage & onion
Hey Vera, you should have copied the quote, then we would know who you were trying to thank. Speedhump Robby, he said he likes BMW signs...of course he does! ;) RobbyG
I drive one for about 8 years now and part of the members club.
Yeah I really mentioned the BM this time :wink: :lol: Speedhump A friend had an M3 but he sold it after a year or so because he was sick of everyone just wanting to try to cut him up on the road or race him... He's quite a competitive guy and so his blood pressure was getting too high :D RobbyG The M3's sure get the eyes turning on the roads. Especially the latest M3 V8...ohhh my what a firm sound. Listen to this: I get touched by that ;) Speedhump made me hard :D dresden / Speedhump
:D :D :D gtmash
Yes, poor people exist here.
Someone mentioned Zakat. It is at 2.5% of your ENTIRE monetary wealth per year. Assuming that 55k in that cheapskate's wallet was his entire life savings, Zakat for ONE year would come to be Dhs 1375. Someone's not being a good Muslim. The rich ones rarely are. Misery Called Life
Let's say that the Baharani has 55k for life savings. Assume inflation at 6%. No interest since money is in hand and not in bank. Even in money in bank lets assume interest at 1.5%, unless he made a new FD account at 8 or 10%. At inflation of (-)6% + interest 2% + charity (-)2.5%, the Bahrani will actually end up bankrupt!
