I bought a jacket at the thrift store yesterday and found some money in one of the pockets.
It was only $1.16 -- small change, I know, but still.
There was a credit card receipt from a photo lab in the other pocket, with a woman's name on it -- the jacket's previous owner, I assume.
I felt a momentary flash of guilt, or honesty, or something unfamiliarly humanitarian and wondered if I should try to contact the woman to return her lost money.
Fuck that.
Finders keepers, bitch.
It's mine now.
Can I get a Whoop! Whoop!
