i can't keep my damn mouth shut

i went to a motel that generally doesn't yield great tips. the guy was pretty average, and the room looked like it had been lived in for more than a couple days. i told him the price (about $25), and he gives me a wad of money, which he claims is $28. i say thanks and leave.

as i'm walking down the corridor, i count the cash. there were two $5's and six $10's. i go back to the room and bang on the door.

"who is it?" he says.

"i think you gave me too much money," i yell back.

he opens the door and explains how he had two piles of cash. he exchanges the $70 for $28 and i count it to be sure. he thanked me and closed the door.

now, don't you think nobility is worth more than just a thank you? i mean, i don't know very many people who would willingly trade a $45 tip for a $3 tip. all i had to do was keep walking and never look back.
