"I kept the cash because I needed weed"


Recommended Posts

Hadn't seen that, thanks for the link.

 

I can spend more than three minutes on diet coca cola and 147 unread comments. Jeez, what a riot.

Who says "Toodles"? Looks like old man handwriting, probably the same rowcrasher who was tripping next to me the last half the night.

They actually covered this on the Today show this morning and they mentioned that it was at a concert, but they didn't mention Wilco. And you're right that it sounds like a stereotypical Deadhead move. Not even necessarily that poorly intentioned, but not realizing the uselessness of the gesture of returning credit cards and drivers license, all of which would surely have been replaced immediately.

 

Definitely an amusing story.

I know. I felt bad making what sounded like a dig on Deadheads. I really didn't mean it that way. But ya gotta admit there's a stereotypical image of a kind of good natured, spaced out Grateful Dead fan. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

The person sounds like a dickhead, to me. No reason why the entire wallet and all its contents couldn't be returned.

No reason? Are you not familiar with one of the most sound and ancient of all legal principles?!? Finders keepers?!?

Finders/keepers, generally, works well for random items found by children. As an adult, it's a dick move to capitalize on another's (particularly a known other's) misfortune.

Some of my best friends are Deadheads! Seriously, I was just playing around with the stereotype, not meaning in any way to insult Grateful Dead fans.

 

As to what this guy did specifically, of course it was a dick move. I think what makes this seem so funny is the way he chose to explain himself, along with the futile gesture of returning the cards and license. Like that makes him a righteous dude!

 

As a aside, I lost my wallet at Solid Sound in 2013. I think it just slipped out of my pocket. But it was turned into security with everything intact and even a little note attached. So Wilco fans rule!

I don't take it as a personal insult. I just think it's a bogus stereotype and doesn't comport with my experience over the last 40+ years.

Same here as i approach the 39th anniversary of my first of 209 Grateful Dead concerts before Jerry died, only up to 58 Wilco since 2004 but trying! I can see it was basically in jest but very far from my experience since my close deadhead friends are super successful in terms of career/real world and hardly spacy other than in the midst of a spacy jam.
