The kid having his stick stolen thread reminded me of being at the airport here in Calgary.
Inside the secure area waiting to board I saw some Westjet employees. A pilot, some stewardesses etc. Right as they called for us to board our plane I notice that in the EXACT spot they were standing there was a pile of money.
At this point I've got literally 20 people ahead of me and at least as many behind because we had just been called to board. I noticed the money and pointed it out to my friend. She said I should just go grab it.
My problem was that with all these people around I didn't want to look like a jerk by sprinting over and taking the money, don't get me wrong I'm not above picking up lost money I just don't want to look like a degenerate. I also wasn't sure if anyone else had seen it, how awkward would it have been if me and another guy tried to grab it at the same time. I did go pick it up and it was about $40 IIRC so my cab ride when I got to Kelowna was basically free.
