You know those times when someone makes some small but extraordinary gesture that renews your faith in the common man? The kind that leaves you feeling all unexpectedly pleased and maybe even a little warm and fuzzy?

Today I was responsible for just such an occasion! I found a phone someone had left behind in a lecture hall (a SE w800i, if you’re bothered). I tried to trawl the phonebook for an entry like “home” or “mum” or something, but it was all in moon-language. I did change the ringer to something loud though, and waited for someone to ring it, at which point I answered with “hey, who’s phone is this?”

Long story short, I returned the phone to a very relieved girl of Asian extraction, who invited me to have Chinese food with her and her friends some time. I’m still going to hell though, not only because I did this in-between trying to swindle vending machines, but also because I was not wearing any underwear.

I’m pretty sure if you do a good deed while not wearing underwear it cancels out.
