She Lost Her iPhone – Honesty Story #22

Have you ever been at a restaurant where the tables are so close to each other that you can hear the person at the table next to you better than the person that is sitting across the table from you? You even have to be careful not to bump elbows. Yeah, you know what I mean. The food at this Persian restaurant in Atlanta is great, so I won’t complain. Okay, so you are probably wondering what this has to do with honesty. Let me tell you…

The lady sitting next to me came back from the restroom quite excited about having found someone’s iPhone. She told about how while she was washing her hands she heard this cricket-like sound distinct to an iPhone (this is news to me, I don’t have an iPhone yet). So she looked around and eventually found that it was an iPhone. It turns out, the girl that had left it in the bathroom, realized it was missing and started calling her number from another phone in the restaurant. Long story short, the lady that found the iPhone returned the phone to the girl. As you can imagine the girl was quite happy and relieved to have it back.

The lady sitting next to me, went on to tell the gentleman sitting across the table from her (and all of those around her) about another story of a cell phone she and her friends had found in a New York taxi. By this point, we had paid and were heading out of the restaurant. Even though it was a bit awkward hearing the whole conversation next to me, it was great to see first-hand, people being honest and doing the right thing.
