Why the hell would any idiot want to run off with a $0 phone? C’mon.
That phone is worth twenty thousand times more than it could ever be worth to you, you jerk. Whoever you are who took my phone, been busy sparing thoughts for yourself I guess? Oh, I get a free phone! That’s so damn exciting. Whatever.
Spare a thought for me, damnit. I have appointments marked down on the calendar, messages of encouragement, birthday messages, and messages on my dad’s first death anniversary. I have sent out many an encouraging message that I am proud of and have kept. Let’s not forget that the phone belonged to my father before it landed up in your selfish, cheap hands. That may have no meaning to you, but it sure holds lots of meaning to me.
Society sure could do without such selfish individuals.
In just one evening, I have observed three kinds of human behaviour – the careless (me, obviously), the thoughtless, and the selfless.
The thoughtless fool who ran off with my practically worthless phone…what will become of him, no one knows. I just hope he somehow feels guilty about it. If it were any other phone, I’d probably not be so upset that this person was so selfish about getting a free phone…
The selfless, nevertheless, still does exist in our society. A couple who were passing and saw the person going off with my phone sat and waited at the scene (a bus stop) where I dropped my phone till I returned. They told me about what happened and offered to help me call my phone. Obviously, that was to no avail.
That done, they went off after apologising that they couldn’t help. I thought that they were great. I mean, they weren’t actually waiting for a bus at the bus stop; they were probably enroute to a late night out, or to get home, but spared the time to wait for me to get back to the bus stop.
Also, thanks to my good friends, Joel, Phuisee and Joey, for walking me through, calming me down, and just helping me slowly get over this loss. I will, slowly, but surely.
