How do you say thanks?

[J_V]

I woke up to a knock on my door at 6:30am on a Sunday. After scrambling to hide my morning wood, I answer the door. The dude has my wallet that he found of the street. I guess he matched the ID with the name on the buzzer (he lives in my building). All the money is still there over 1500 bucks. I was half in a daze and stunned as I didn't even know my wallet was missing. I thanked him, but didn't process the levity of the favor right away. I thought peeling off a hundred would look ungrateful and dumb. Plus, he wouldn't have accepted. How do I thank him?

All I know about him is that he a huge shaggy dog, wakes up with the roosters, lives in a penhouse and is almost certainly gay.


Joke away - but I need some real ideas also.

A nice gift for a [censored] (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/140005446X/qid=1114377562/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/102-7319598-4464926?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)

Buy him a gift certificate to some nice restruant or offer to take him to dinner (as friends not as a "date").

There is only one solution...you're going to have to go gay for a day.

[Jazza]

bottle of wine is best IMO

and it allows you to spend anywhere from $20 - $1000, and he can't refuse it

Yeah, for $1500, I'd say you at least owe the man a blowjob, if not full-bore anal sex.

[Lazymeatball]

How do you know he didn't rob you in an attempt to meet you for a date?

I think the bottle of wine idea is good since it lets you spend a decent amount of money, like 50-100 bucks, and since you put time into picking ti out and buying it, unlike peeling off a big bill, he would certainly accept it and probably really appreciate it. . .

reminds me of the those George Takei soundbytes on HowardStern.

[Schneids]

I think the most sensible thing to do would be buy him restaurant giftcards to a few places.

[Ulysses]

Hummer seems appropriate. Do it in a "just friends" kind of way, not a gay way.

[Inthacup]

Ask around the building and find out what he likes. a personalized gift would be much better IMO.

Agreed.


For the gift: Unless going gay for a day somehow appeals to you (maybe you think he's cute or something) I think the bottle of wine idea is a good one.

[jakethebake]

This is awesome. Tough to find people this nice. I say introduce him to big steve, another nice guy.

[Blarg]

Get him a pellet gun for the roosters so he can get some sleep.

Or the bottle of wine or some kind of really nice food/wine gift basket sounds good. Those can be pretty cool. Stay away from cookies and sweets, though, as some people just don't eat them.

Oh, and remember the penitentiary guideline: You're not gay if you're pounding ass, only if it's your ass getting pounded. So maybe there's a solution that works for both of you.

[JTG51]

I vote for the restaurant gift certificate.

Not everyone likes wine. Everyone likes to eat.

You would say this. Maybe Red Robin with bottomless fries??? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

As for the reward, spontaniety would have been best, and maybe $100 or $200 would have been really cool. But now, I'd have to vote wine, especially a good bottle.

Someone else here had mentioned that you should ask around the building to see what he likes and go that route (not the "gay for a day" type either). This is probably the best course to take here.

[Stuey]

A small gift wine or a free dinner sounds good. Put a short handwritten note in with it. Telling him how much you appreciate his honesty ect. get a chick to word it for you.

I would also make a point of telling other people that live in the building about his classy actions. Don't make a big deal out of it but if you happen to be talking to a person that lives in the building mention it.

When someone does something nice like this and does not want anything in return the least you can do is give him some good press. Then years from now when someone starts to pick on the gay guy. Or he asks to bend a rule like put up a few extra flower boxes or maybe they get mad at his dog for barking. There will be more people than just you willing to stick up for him.

You will be sticking up for him right?

I look at like a trade in sports. You owe him future considerations. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[mason55]

I assume he enjoys living, laughing, and learning?

[J_V]

I'm certainly glad, I'm not important enough to get misquoted for real.

[J_V]

It's too bad you're not dropping by for the weekend, I'm sure he could use one your go-to shiny silver dress shirts.

[J_V]

I'm going with the $50 restaurant gift certificate. If I was certain that he drinks, I'd go with wine. I'll put a thank you card together as well.

Pretty classy move. Good suggestions all-round.

I guess I'm taking the safe route. The best play would be a Barry Manilow's greatest hits CD, Will and Grace Season 1 DVD, and fruitcake - but I don't have time for that.

Jeez, he saved you $1500. Make it $100 at a nice place.

[Arnfinn Madsen]

True story:
My neighbour found a mobile phone on top of a pizza in the backyard a Sunday morning. She brought it inside and called a few of the saved numbers, among them the owner's dad. After a while the owner called and accused her of stealing it since he has never been in our backyard. What a nuthead.

[astroglide]

$50 is weak for a cert, make it at least $75 unless you're shipping him to applebee's

this is when you smash the phone

If you end up opting for the ass-sex, and he wants you to pitch, at least have the decency to give the guy a reach-around.

[beerbandit]

someone mentioned bottle of wine or case of beer, not a bad idea ---

depends on how well you know the guy, and by the description doesnt sound like very well

maybe a groomer coupon for his "shaggy" dog or even a dinner coupon for somewhere

must be nice to live by honest people----

cheers

[Kellermann]

Give the guy $500. (Yes, 500).

He could easily have run away with all your dough so be grateful and show him.

I would say anything less than $200 is absurd.
