Guest sk1nzHEAD Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I was at a local ski resort (Keystone) today riding. I spend A LOT of time up there because I'm a seasoned pro downhill rider, and have never come across any problems, til today. I left my backpack with the lift operators at the bottom of the lift because they claim it to be a safe spot to keep/store your items. I hate riding with a pack so I usually do this.. BUT, today I came back from one of my runs, grabbed my backpack for a snack, and noticed that 15 dollars was taken from my wallet. I mean, it's merely 15 dollars, but that's not what angers me. The fact that anyone would go through another's possessions and take their MONEY absolutly gets me going. The guys quickly replied with their scripted, "No, no one has been in your backpack." Of course Keystone isn't liable for any lost or stolen items, so I'm not mad. It was just last week I was playing my friend in foosball, he laid down 15 dollars on the game, so I took the bet. I won the game, and politely resfused to take his money. So much for karma!!!!!! I'm a pretty positive guy, and have a positive outlook on every aspect of society, but today...today..my hopes have kicked the bucket. Thanks for listening to me shamelessly vent!!!

PokerPacker Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 *sigh* yeah, we all learn this lesson sooner or later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boysetsfire Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Don't worry man. Everyone has to deal with this from time to time. Personally for me, I don't know whether to be polite to people anymore (holding the door for them, saying excuse me, thank you, etc). Rarely does someone do it to me or when I do it to them do they appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Had the opposite thing happen. I was at the National Press Club a few weeks ago and somehow a check from a client fell out of my pocket or case. I didn't realize it at the time. When I was ready to go to the bank, I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. Yesterday, I got a call. Someone at the press club found it and mailed it to a third party who used to work for the organization, but no longer does. She tracked me down and made sure I got the check.

Mass_SkinsFan Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 ak1nzHEAD, feel a little bit better in that you learned this lesson at a relatively young age and that it only cost you $15. I hate to have to say it, but people just cannot be trusted for anything. Remember in the future that the only person you can trust, who's actually looking out for YOUR best interests is YOU. Sorry that you had to learn the lesson that way, but it could have been a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Weirdo Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hey, at least it was only 15 bucks and not 1500 bucks or something with a lot more meaning to you. You have to look at the bright side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I have undeniable trust in certain people in my life, not everyone out there is the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sk1nzHEAD Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 that's because as bad as I don't want to believe it, other people can be utter pieces of ****. Guess I have to get my head around that and trust only myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boysetsfire Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Seems like the wrong way to look at it. Kindness isn't about being rewarded. I know how it comes out. I'm not asking you to say "thank you" or whatever. In fact it doesn't bother me the least bit if you don't acknowledge it. I guess what I was trying to say is, i'm tired of people being rude about it. I can't stand rude and ignorant people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 There are certainly still people that are trustworthy and upstanding. I have found wallets in movie theaters on two occasions and mailed them to the owners if I couldnt get the phone number. I have found many cell phones that have been returned. I lost my cell phone years ago breaking up a fight and had it returned from a random teen. I left my wallet in a cab once and the cab driver brought the wallet to my place of work at the time and came in to personally return it. Just be the best person you can be. I almost agree with MSF, but I know that it isnt always the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I have to get my head around that and trust only myself its not that you can only trust yourself, its just that you can't trust anyone you don't know (and some people you DO know). Unless you know you can trust them, you pretty much can't trust them. so goes the world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RideorDieChic Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Karma is not on our time, she is on her own time, and may manifest in ways we least expect. So don't lose hope, you do sound really hurt and you should be, but leaving money with complete strangers was not very wise. Always secure your valuables:doh: . Not so much because you mistrust others, is more so just as a means of protection. There are a lot of honest people in this world, the lift operators you came across just aren't in that group, that's all. Take it as a lesson learned, and it was a easy price to pay, fifteen buck for life lessons doesn't come very often dear .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 ...Thinkin' 'bout them happy days I had over the summer growin' up fast to face life, and harsh realities that come with the territory didn't know when I was young, so many get hung to hang....

Maxito Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Next time you go to any ski resort make sure to put your belonging in a locker. Most ski resorts have lockers to put your belongings. Like people mentioned here that you can't trust people with your belongings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
