About a year ago I was buying new reels for surf fishing. Amazon had a deal on Penn 4000's for $30 - can't turn that down so I ordered two of them, plus I needed a smaller reel so I ordered a 2500 to go along with it. Amazon sent me a message and said they were shipping the 4000's but the 2500 was on back-order. I got the 4000's and all was cool. About a week later I got a box and it contained a 2500 and an additional 4000. I waited a couple weeks and never heard from Amazon and I checked my Master Card and I had only been billed for 3 reels. Now I hate to admit it in public but I kept the extra reel.

Okay, I lost the eyes on a couple of rods recently and I had this extra reel from the Amazon deal and I go to Amazon and find this deal on Ugly Stix. I ordered 3, 7' MH fast action rods. I get a message from Amazon saying they shipped two and the third one is back ordered. I got the two last week. Yesterday, while I was out fishing the delivery guy dropped off a box. You want to guess or should I just tell you? Yep. two rods. Checked the debit card account and I've been charged for three. I'll wait and see, but they sure make it hard for a guy to remain honest. I can always use the extra rod and reel for when relatives come from up north so it's not like they will go to waste but I hate feeling guilty while fishing, this is supposed to be relaxing.

To be honest I would say. Lucky.. blessed or whatever it is. I think the stars lined up and somehow this happened. I wouldn’t worry too much. I think it might have happened for a reason. Maybe pay back is a good thing in this situation. You could analyze it as karma. Religious reasons. Etc. You did good things in your life. You didn’t receive 4 dollars from a person that only has 5 but owed you 2 or 3. No one that sent it to you will go broke or starve.

I have had things very similar happen. Usually nothing I bought but just things that I was like how in the world did this ever transpire? I wonder if it was payback for many times when I have helped someone that wanted to pay me and I said no way. People I never knew. People on a freeway in high heat. People at the end of an off ramp I had absolutely no reason to get off on. I helped them. Maybe sometimes I wore myself out. Other times it was nothing.

Recently I happened to have my little very small jumper box/usb lithium battery. A guy was in need of of a jump right where I was. I got him running. Just do something good for others when you can. Don’t endanger yourself but it’s easier than most selfish people think.

Chalk 1 up to lucky side of the chart ,sooner or later Murphy's law kicks in and we think corporations are against us,, maybe pay it forward at a restaurant or store I mean as long as it's reasonable pay for the person in front of us, makes me feel I helped,,,

Amazon is notorious for that. Sent my sister 2 desks. My daughter ended up with the extra. Sent my wife 2 jackets for me for Christmas. Instead of the one she ordered. I figured Bezos isnt going to miss any means over any of it. I’d chalk it up to Karma repaying you for living right!

I remember someone being a total mad female dog in a line at drive through coffee. When I got to window. I ended up getting food and coffee and told lady in front of me had paid for it. So I paid for person behind me. Kindness is good. Apologies are good but I sometimes would rather just not need one.

I have had this happen with Amazon as well. I ordered a range finder and they sent me two. When I tried to send the one back they would not take it because they said they only had a record of one being sent out to me.

Well I've done my part. I contacted them and spent about 10 minutes with a robot who couldn't quite grasp the idea that I had received too many. I finally left a note that said I was keeping the extra rod and if they wanted to charge my account they could do so. Amen.
