The trick is to decide ahead of time how you will react instead of making a snap judgement when the situation presents itself. For example, my hairy primate friend has already decided to be honest at any price. It's a done deal. He doesn't even have to think about it and I know I can trust him implicitly.

BTW, I'm glad you got your wallet back. Imagine if everyone were that honest. :)

A person is either honest and honorable or they are not. There is no such thing as situational morality.

Perk, suggest you re-evaluate who and what you are. Then examine how you want to be perceived. You are always communicating...sending some kind of message...think about the message you have sent in your post...

Maybe this situation will be turned into a good experience...suggest you go to the manager of that station and pay what you owe. Try it, you may feel really good about the experience.

Problem is, that we have not found any that is up to the task. Maybe we need to recruit PoundStone to give it a try...?

I don't care who you are, or how fast your car/truck is. There is always someone out that that can kick your ass, or beat you in a race.
 
WOW,Alot of good responses on this subject!!:)
As previously stated,your not taking from from the big guys,Your taking from the little guy!Whether its scaming a gas station or stiffing a waitress or cashier:)
About 25 years ago, I was at the beach with my family and realized I had lost my wallet.(All of our vacation money was in it) While deciding how to overcome this problem,A guy approached us and asked me my name,then told me his daughter found a wallet washed up on the shore about a 1/2 mile down the beach and I looked like the picture on my licence.He handed me the wallet with all $3,200 and cards in it!!!! I was shocked, not only did he return the wallet,He refused any reward!!.I was finally allowed to give his daughter $50,His response was that he knew that someones vacation depended on the wallet.To this day I never carry more than a couple bucks on me I am more trusting of people(not always the best way to be).
THIS IS A TRUE STORY!!!!!:)

I doubt that. When I was young, I got into lots of fights. Learned early on that if you feared the other person, or didn't think you could win, you had already lost.

Mikey is a fighter and is the same way.

I should add that size and strength does not automatically make you more formidable. You need to know how to apply it in order to win.

Yeah, I was making a joke (kinda). I had read that Mikey was a fighter.

"Oprah...or Montel.................?

"Sticking it to the man"...............?"

I hate to interrupt your recitation of apprentice cliches, but what does redicilious (ready-silly-us) mean.........?

Don't say you're sorry to us.......

Take the money you owe the gas station. Drive there and say you're sorry to the guy (that) you fkn ripped off.....
