I was walking across campus in the rain and saw someone with a distinctive umbrella that looked exactly like mine, which I lost a couple weeks ago. I mentioned it to my roommate. as we walked into the cafeteria. Buying lunch, she was standing in line next to the girl with the umbrella and asked her about it. The girl replied that she’d found it and was carrying it around in hopes that the owner would see it. IMMD

… If I’d been caught with an umbrella I’d stolen, I’d totally say the same thing. – P6655321
It would definately make my day as well (resists urge to post “first”)
Something similar happened with my iPod but it didn’t quite work out the same way.
Excellent!
how awesome is that?!
There really are good people left in the world!
That was so nice of the girl
People here would be like “finders keepers!” when it comes to lost items.
I have questions. Was it raining when she was walking around with the umbrella? If not, then that adds several layers of awesomeness to the equation. Second, what exactly did your roommate say? “Hey is that my roommate’s umbrella?” or something like “Where’d you get that?” Did you trap her into saying she found it or was it totally volunteered?
The first line is “I was walking across campus in the rain” so I’m guessing it was in fact raining.
Lol. Thanks, Bob. Yes, it was raining.
To answer the second question, my roommate asked, “Where’d you get your umbrella?” And the girl replied she’d found it. My roommate said that her friend had lost one just like it. And then the girl said she’d been hoping the owner would see it. According to my roommate, the girl seemed genuinely nice and happy to return it, which made it more awesome for us.
lol funny and cute
I bet my umbrella’s cooler. It has the world map on it. (The old one, from when Russia was the U.S.S.R.)
USSR = Russia + 14 other republics.
e.g. Ukraine, Georgia, Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, Armenia, Lithuania, etc.
USSR was an “umbrella” state.
Be my friend?
Don’t remind me…. I was rather put out when Germany reunified right after I’d finally memorized all the countries and capitals of Europe when I was in the second grade… I gave up on the effort when Yugoslavia broke up.
If I’d been caught with an umbrella I’d stolen, I’d totally say the same thing.
I definitely thought of that, but I didn’t really care. I was just happy to have it back without a big fuss.
GMH.
I hope the thing that made his day was the fact that thats a such a bad excuse for why she was walking around with that umbrella.
Thats really cool ^.^
lol
This reminds me of that little joke story…
Y’know, the person says that they were walking around and an old woman comes up and accuses them of stealing her purse. She attacks them to try and get her purse back, so they start hitting her with the purse they just found.
