    Hi everyone,

    I had a moral dilema this morning. After dropping DS1 to school went to co-op and had to get £10 out for essentials. There was a lady in front of me using the ATM and when she left and I read screen it said 'Would you like to do another transaction?' OMG! She hadn't taken her card out and it was giving me the chance to take some free cash!

    You did the right thing Skintnutta - now you will be able to live with yourself, forever :T:T:T

    Good on you for being honest. What goes around, comes around. :T


    Sorry, but I really don't think anyone should be praised for not stealing money from someone's account. Not trying to get at you, but how someone could even suggest on a public forum they were tempted to nick money is beyond me.

    What Skintnutta is really saying is "I was tempted to steal some money from someone who I do not know, but who drives a big car (presumably thereby deserving all they get). However I resisted that temptation - is there anyone else out there who would have taken the money?"

    Skintnutta, you clearly did the right thing, but I just do not understand why this is a moral dilemma, or deserving of praise.
