You don't feel like going out of your way to return cash to someone while you would report a lost dog? It's the exact same process. You wouldn't go out of your way because you want the money. There are a ton of dog lovers out there who would argue the exact same position as you are with money right now.
The chances of someone desperately looking for $200 are just as high as someone searching for a dog, believe me. At minimum wage in Ontario that's 20 hours work. You think someone is just going to write that off? How can you make that assumption any more than you can that they won't go searching for their dog?
And no, I'm not assuming anyone has twisted morals for keeping lost money. I'm saying they're a selfish douche, plain and simple. And I want for them to admit that.
That's a whole piece of bullcrap. Money has no name, no nothing. At your rate, 200 bucks is what I make a month, and I would be douche if I lost it, not if someone else had found it.

Being a saint only leaves you open for the masses to stomp you 6 feet under.
I don't get those warm fuzzies for doing good deeds, but I do get warm fuzzies from fulfilling my selfishness. Thus, one option is definite better than the other, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not sugarcoating things.
I can help someone I'll never see again nor care for, or I can help myself. In most cases, I'll help myself, but it depends entirely on the situation.
Wow, selfishness manifesto, LOL
