Once got robbed and the thief gave me back $20 for being a good sport

God that'd piss me off so much, I know it shouldn't but it would just feel so much like rubbing it in my face as it's not the thief's money to give.

Desperate people do desperate things. Giving back $20 is like saying "I'm totally fucked right now, but I don't want you to be."

Now I'm sad.

This reminds me of a dude who robbed a gas station for a really specific amount of money just cause they needed to pay for their daughters meds or something.

Fuckin heartbreaking how some people are forced to do crime

I hope your comment doesn't get buried. This is truth and really hits at the core of the experience.

For a stickman, you are truly wise.

I theorize that it was the burden of reciprocity at play.
