I feel like crap right now. I went to the gas station this morning. We live in a very small town, so everyone knows everyone else. While i was pulling up, the owners of half the town pulled up infront of me. They dropped their credit card while they were heading inside the door. I grabbed it before anyone else could. They own dozens of credit cards and wouldnt be able to tell if they were missing one. Anyways, i went to give it back to them as they were coming out th store, and they just prtended like i wasnt there, because they dont like people who arent as rich and popular as them.
I ended up following them home, just to try and give them back their credit card. When they got home, they got out of the car and started yelling at me for following them. I then handed them the credit card, and they snatchd it out of my hand and walked away. I didnt evn get a thank you.
I though doing good deeds was supposed to come back around????
You had no idea how bad i wanted to shop instead

You did the right thing don't ever doubt that - the other person should get an award for being the world's biggest jackass!

Obviously they were in a bad mood and initially misunderstood your intention. They may be feeling embarrassed now and sorry for having yelled at you, when you were just being kind and helpful. They should, anyway. But try not to concern yourself with their feelings. What's important is that you were doing the right thing.
Of course you feel angry and disappointed. But I encourage you to keep on showing people kindnesses, even when they don't appreciate it. Sometimes it just works out that way.
It's easy to stop sticking your neck out for people after an experience like that, but in the long run you yourself will benefit in many ways by continuing to reach out and help when you see a need.

Everyone knows money cant buy class, right? If they had any class (Like you do) they would've reacted much nicer. Thanks your lucky stars you are who you are and not like they are. I live in a town outside of Malibu, Ca. and EVERYBODY here is loaded, huge bucks. I cant stand more than half the moms at school. They make people like you and me realize who is really "rich", ya know? Money isn't everything. Shopping will come the right way for you. Now give yourself a pat on the back for being a decent person. I'd much rather be you than be like them.

Remember this the next time they drop a credit card. Don't use the card - just cut it in half and throw it in the garbage. Being rich doesn't mean being polite, and that is the unfortunate truth. I hope that someday it is YOU that owns half the town and they come begging to you for a loan, whereupon you can say "remember when..." - it would serve the jerk right.

You should feel good! You did the right thing & its true that what you sow will be what you reap, maybe not in this instance, but in the future good things will come. You know you are a better person, so thats a good thing, & you can hold your head up high & know it.
Sounds like they are very rude people, & being rich does not make them better than others, or happier, one day they will find that out, count on it.
You are richer than they are, in more ways than one, well done.

No good deed goes unpunished.
Good karma will come back to you.
Those snobby people will get their karma soon, it already started when you intervened.
A thank you from snobs like them don't carry any weight anyways so don't think about it anymore, just know that you did the right thing and just cuz they have more money doesn't mean they are better than you, they don't even have good manners or disposition.

I would feel the same way as you. I don't know why 99% of rich people are snots. I can't stand most people with money for that reason.
God rewards all good deeds and I really believe that. You will be rewarded and good will come back to you-trust me on this one.

You did the right thing and it will come back around some other way. If you would have shopped you might be in jail for credit cards fraud! They obviously don't know how to treat people and you do !! Be proud of your self. Thank god there are people like you in this world!

well...it could be a simple misunderstanding. since they're rich, they're watchful for people who may stalk them or take advantage of them. or they may just have a bad day...which has absolutely nothing to do with you! it was very nice of you to drive to their house and hand them the credit. that was a good deed. but whatever they do is their business. don't take it personal....you did your part and i am sure you're not doing it just to get a thank you from them right? so forget about it and don't take their reaction personally...it may be millions of other reasons you would never know. enjoy life!

Doing good deeds not always bring something back, but it'll bring you a happy mood (but this one ends up in bad) and becoming a better person. Even he's the richest people, but since he behaves like this, rudeless, he'll get his payback soon. Don't worry.

You didn't do this " good deed " for the card owner....you did it because you know the difference between right and wrong.
Feel good because you are Good ! Not because someone tells you !
I don't watch TV because I became tired of watching other people living ....Now, I'm living and watching other people watching TV.....See ?
Life is not what other people give you.....Life is what you give of yourself to Life .....your reward is in living a good life....
You are popular with me !
