I returned someone's wallet and they took out 100 to give me and I refused to take it but they tucked it in my shirt pocket, so I threw it on the ground and left. Money is meaningless to me. I have a job which pays my bills. I was not insulted by the money, I was simply indifferent to it. Am I stupid or abnormal?
The money was a token of his gratitude, throwing it on the floor was not only rude but also kind of irresponsible.
It's a very immature thing to do. Even if you don't want it, then give it to someone that needs it.
I, personally, disagree with you there my friend, about thinking that no one would need the money you tossed. I wish I was standing near you when you had done this.
I hope that was a joke. There are tons of charities and homeless people. Heck, give it to a random Joe on the street if you don't want it. Tossing it on the ground like it's nothing is childish.
Hey Recluded, I'm Random Joe, or Joe Random. Algum's just my IIN name. See my license, first name Joe, last name Random. Lol. But it's Mr. Random to you Sir Anonymous Post Author. You can call me Joe, Rucluded and the resta y'all.
The person who tried to give me the money saw me toss it on the ground so I assume he picked it up.
It was a stupid move.
It took you time, effort and expense to return the wallet so refusing the reward means you lost money on the deal. Morals aside, it still created an expense on your part to return it. Refusing the compensation was a stupid financial move.
You also blew it by being rude/socially inept. Connections are invaluable and you don't really know who that guy was or what he could potentially do for you but you acted rude so all of that angle is probably out the window now.
If you really didn't want the money, you could've just told him to donate it or just shut up and donated it yourself and not destroy a relationship over your weird ideas.
Could have used the money for unselfish purposes, or just saved it. Not normal.
Even if you didn't want the money I'm sure the nearest animal shelter & its guests would have appreciated it.
Not trying to be rude, but I don't feel sorry for you. You got a job that pays the bills and you're so financially comfortable that you can just toss a $100 into an ashtray and that would mean nothing? You don't know what it's like to financially struggle week after week just trying to survive, do you?
Yep, not normal, lol. If this scenario actually happened in real life, a person throwing the gift back is eccentric for sure. If anything, you could have donated the monetary gift to someone else.
If you absolutely insist on not taking the monetary gift. There are friendlier ways to refuse the gift.
Very funny, ha ha ha.
If you're not interested in the money, how about sending it to me to pay some bills and rent that I'm struggling to find the money to pay? Lol.
The wallet owner wanted to return the favor for you and you rejected them, which is insulting to them.
I feel bad for that person.. Even if you didn't want the money, you shouldn't have thrown it onto the floor. It's really rude, like insulting someone who just wanted to repay you for what you did. I understand that attempting to stuff the money in your pocket must have been a bit uncomfortable, but there was no need to react the way you did.
Id say you are an idiot my pal. Sorry but throwing away money that could save someones life? You. Are. Simply. STUPID. Throwing away money. Is literally one of the number one dont do's i hope someone found it and spent it well.

It's not normal at all. It was totally immature of you, and, where I'm from (and perhaps also where you are from), it's considered a crime. The other person was a little pushy, but the sensible thing to do would be to compromise and take the money. If you were afraid it was fake money and the whole thing a con trick, you could check it with the authorities afterwards. There was no need to be rude and destroy an important component of the economy.
I disagree. Stuffing the cash in the OP's pocket without permission was rude. The OP should have returned the money yet again suggesting it be donated to a charitable cause.
Yes, it can be interpreted as rude, I agree, and the option you mention would also be valid. What is not ok is throwing away money or, really, committing a crime against the state, however light it may be, every time someone is rude towards us.
Except the cash was never destroyed. It was transferred to the next person picking it up.
We don't know that for sure, and we cannot count on it. And, in any case, it was most probably damaged, and throwing objects in the street is a crime of pollution anyway, even if it's not money. In this case, it just happens to be two crimes at the same time.
We can count on it because in order for it to be a crime, the bill would have to be INTENTIONALLY rendered useless by his act (which by his description, it was not) and it would have to be reported and prosecuted (extremely unlikely). Not a crime.
In trivial financial dealings, 98% probability is functional certainty. Clinging to the hypothetical, as you are doing, is suggestive of financial ineptitude. Please go study Maths.
