    I'm so sorry but this is definitely a thinly veiled "I am so awesome I have my own practice and secretary" thread. It has feck all got to do with the phone.

    FYI.

    And the irony - I'm one of the most honest people I know.

    That's my experience with a cork man as well. He was psychological liar and I'm sure he still is.

    My sister had the same experience with a cork man too. A massive liar to get his cock rode.

    And a friend also had the same experience with a cork man. Her ex was another liar.

    I do have the iphone lost app and logged in to check location.

    Does your secretary realise that you can log in and see her location at any time? Sounds a bit much for you to be able do that…

    So you wouldn't want to know where your phone was if it was lost? Sounds retarded to me given the price of them.

    Uck. I'd have returned the phone because it's the right thing to do but I hate people going on about karma and using it like a parent would use Santa or Hell around a naughty kid.
    I agree; people should act purposefully out of decency and respect for others, and shouldn't require the threat of negative repercussions.

    Yea someone who does a good deed in expectation of a reward kind of negates the whole thing..

    People who do good things scare the hell out of me....

    See - I don't steal cellphones, or anything else. I also don't spend large amounts of my time to track down owners of lost cellphones. I've just got better, more relevant stuff to do. I'm indifferent to your cellphone - I don't want to take, I don't care if you have it.

    But these people who do good deeds.....they're is something wrong with them. A lot of serial killers and rapists did lots of 'other' nice things. It's almost as if, internally, they are trying to strike a balance between good and evil. 'Oh sure, I killed those girls; but I donated 500 euro to charity. I'm not ALL bad'

    Services the woman is interested in after checking my website. Friends and family can also share in the offer, which is a good christmas gift. Saying here would be shilling.

    My property, but yes she knows, the app is on the home screen and can't be deleted. She is not required to keep the phone with her outside of business hours and I've got a life, so tend not to be the creepy spy on my secretary type. I've used the app twice. Once to make sure it was working and once to check the phone location when I got the text to say it was lost. Considering the cost of one, I'd rather have a small chance of recovering it if lost/stolen rather than no chance. Before a cheap phone is suggested, I want to say the iPhone was an obvious choice, as the apps come in very handy for the secretary and its used as a mobile hotspot for use with the laptop she also has for business use.

    To the person who suggested some thin veil of "I have my own secretary" or whatever. My response is "pfffffft". I know this is AH and all and I expect a few funny replies (dragons :) ) but that reply is just sad. The story wouldn't have been understandable without including who was responsible for the phone.

    Also, i wasn't saying there are more or less honest people than before. I was just saying they still exist, because I've read so many threads about lost iPhones. Just clarifying what I meant there.

    Thanks all who took it for what it was.

    Some years back I lost my wallet in Carter's chip shop in Tullamore.
    It took me half a day of sweat, worry and lost work before I managed to trace my steps back to the shop involved.
    A smiling foreign national lady handed it out across the counter into my much relieved hands. [It contained my cash, credit cards and driving licence, among other things, and its loss would have been a personal disaster for me and my family at the time]
    She resolutely refused my offer of a reward.
    One of her grounds for refusing was that it was a customer who handed it in to her after spotting it on a seat.
    I remember her with great affection!

    Actually I'd say what drives most people to do good deeds is empathy and the brain's willingness to release happy chemicals when people act on it. Or at least it helps. And a lack of empathy is often linked with serial killers.

    Well I dunno about yours, but mine was not only a liar, but a sociopath a well (that's my diagnosis anyway :D )!

    That's what I reckoned too and I usually hate "I'm so cool and cynical" comments - although I obviously don't know for definite. The story is hardly a big deal though and of course there are plenty of honest people, as there always were.

    Your hatred of Cork people based on a handful of Cork dickheads is hilarious and bitter. It's idiocy to think people from a particular region are all a certain way just because they're from that region.
    Get this: I know people who are dicks and come from... various places, including - but not limited to - parts of Cork! :eek:

    I have to inter-ejaculate all over that. A lot of people from my hometown are a particular type of dickhead. I was once greeted with, "You're from X? You're the first sound person I've met from there."
    I won't knock Cork people but I think certain places definitely breed certain attitudes, especially for small towns imo.

    Yeh saying there's a lot of whatever trait in a certain area is fair enough, but stating a dislike of all of the people from that area is just pathetic. It's amazing how teenaged some adults can still be. I won't deny there's a breed of arrogant Cork person, but while it's a small city, it's still big enough to have s variety of other people, and plenty who don't buy that stupid People's Republic stuff (although a lot of that is a send-up of the arsey Corkperson - and lol at people who think it's all serious)

    but you said you gave the person 1k worth of vouchers, which is more than twice the value of the phone, therefore you would of been better of just buying a new phone

    I did similar recently in a club in town (Dublin City). A couple stormed off while having a tiff and one of them dropped an iphone on the ground. I tried to go after them but they disappeared in to the crowd. I knew the lad at the cloak room so I just left it with him so they could ring and collect it.

    I could have sold it for 200/300, but who really cares about that? I felt better about giving the phone back and hopefully a similar gesture will come back to me in the future!

    awaits response telling me i was stupid :D

    1k worth of my service, which is about 5, or 6 hours work and which will likely result in referrals for my services anyway. It would have been a big inconvenience if I had to replace the phone. Its now back where it belongs.
