[QUOTE=Scumpup]  
I was taught by the nuns to be the good samaritan because it is the right thing to do, not because I expect recognition and thanks. Thus, when I do something like chase a man down the street to return his bank card to him after he left it in the ATM, it doesn’t bother me when he just snatches it from me and turns away.

Well bless your heart.
