There's no law like that here. New Yorkers operate under the finders keepers clause of the state legislature. and yeah we get it already. youre finnish. great. and you know what? it kinda did make me feel good.
and honestly all you guys do is say the same thing over and over again. if i had left it there someone WOULD have taken it. the guy obviously had no idea it was missing cause it had been there for like 3 hours before i put it in my pocket. it woulda gone on sitting there into the next class, allll day.
<realtalk>we do NOT have a lost and found </realtalk>
and im not putting up fucking posters and im not hunting the guy down. sorry. if u guys expect everyone to do that you're living in a fantasy world. if he comes back asking for it (WHICH IS WHAT HE SHOULD DO IF HE FUCKING WANTS IT BACK) then i'll give it back to him. sorry if u guys dont agree, but you're all kind of shit heads. <3
I lost my cell phone a few months ago in class (I'm pretty sure they fell out of my sweatpants pockets) and didn't realize it until I took about 10 steps outside of the building. I hurried back and searched the classroom but it wasn't there. There's no official "lost and found" but guess what? I decided to go to the main office of that particular building and ask the secretary if anyone had found a cell phone. They had, and I got my phone back.
A relatively decent, logical person from my class must have found my phone, picked it up, and instead of pocketing it (
here's the killer!) walked down the hallway and dropped it off at the main office. It was a fairly nice phone and I'm sure they could have racked up hundreds of dollars in phone sex or phone tarot-card-reading bills if they wanted to.
Nope. You know why? Because NOT KEEPING IT is the obvious, decent thing to do.
Your excuse that HE/SHE should come looking for YOU makes zero fucking sense. I must have missed that part of your story where you left your e-mail address on a post-it note in the lecture hall or on the chalkboard. I'm sure they've got plenty of ways to contact you!
I mean, goddamn:
EVEN IF the professor who teaches the class before you is, idk, a three-headed dick monster and you can't stand to look at him long enough to mention the found MP3 player,
EVEN IF you were born without fingers and can't hold a pen or a piece of chalk to write a note,
EVEN IF your school building has no main office (I find this hard to believe)...
You could have still taken it to the campus police/security, since it's their job to take care of such matters. Oh wait. That would have been too much fucking work.
