Some things never change

I'm not a thief by any means. As a matter of fact, I can't stand thieves. But times like this make you start thinking, I should have told them the one they had was bad and drove off with it. But, I can't do this. Stealing is stealing. If it ain't mine and I take it, it's stealing.

Here's a little story about how honest I am.

When I built my 24 x 30 garage, I went to Lowe's to pick my insualtion for the ceiling and walls. Then the Lowe's here had their insulation outside in sheds. I paid for it at the outside counter. Told the girl plainly what I wanted. A guy who worked there helped me load it. I loaded full rolls for the walls, can't remember right now how many sq. ft. was in these rolls. After I got it all in the truck, I drove off. I get about a mile up the road and told my wife, let me see the receipt. The price she charged me seems awful cheap. It was. She had charged me for half rolls, or in other words, half as much as it should have been for the R13 wall insulation.

So I turn around and go back. I tell her that she didn't charge me enough money. She said why. I told her what she had done. About the same time the guy who had helped walked up and said what's the problem She told him what I had said. Both of them asked why I came back. They said you were gone and no one would have known. I said you are right, but I would have known. Both said this was a first for them. No one had ever said they didn't pay enough. Quit a few had said they pain too much.

I made her give me credit for what she first charged me and then let me pay the correct amount. Now I know some of you will say I am crazy. Maybe so, but that's just the way I am. I sure wouldn't want anyone to steal anything of mine, and I don't want anything that don't belong to me.
