I was just grocery shopping and mysteriously had an extra 90$ on my foodcard. So I exclaimed to the cashier, “wow i love surprise extra money”. The person in line behind me said, “i wish i got surprise money”. So I took 5$ and tossed it in her bag, she said “No Wait Dont!” but I had already spun around and was on my way out of the store.
So what was that? Good or bad?
A good deed because it was kindness and generousity? Did her stating she didnt want it make it immoral and thus i should have stayed so she could give it back? Did it all happen as it was supposed to so that she would display herself as nonneedy, I could do the kindness, and, by leaving before anything could change, the state of reality was frozen as is for us beings within?
Please tell me whether I’m good or evil; thank you! :)

Your username is pUrE EviL. But giving away money is nice. What was it before, Allo IIRC?
Careful doing that with mystery money. If it was a banking error, you may end up on the hook for paying it back and they won’t accept that you spent it. Just be aware this is a thing.
nice usernaem too :)
this is what it looks like for me (in case u have different emojis). im possessing another body on tuesday tho, and physical forms always have different energies, so I’m about to change to a diff name :)
While hiking with my boyfriend and dog I was waiting outside a supermarket one day while he was shopping. A woman and her daughter came to give us some dogtreats and a bag of sweet buns because they thought I was homeless. I couldn’t do anything but gracefully accept. We did enjoy the sweet buns and a few days later we spotted a woman with her daughter begging at the train station and were able to pass on the kindness. We are also always on the lookout for beggars with dogs to share out some treats. All in all it caused more goodness (and only slight embarresment) in our lives.
I agree with the consensus that this was a good thing to do.
It was perfect to leave before the shopper could reject it because it allows her to save face. Either she did need it but was too proud to admit it, or she actually didn’t need it and can just pay it forward.
Since you left quickly it made it clear there was no expectation that she should pay it back to you specifically, which could have had unsavory implications
If that person really didn’t need it’s, up to them to pass it on to someone who does. What you did was an act of kindness.
Nah, good deed.
What is a food card?
What is it used for?
You chop up lines of coke with it
food. its for poor people that otherwise have hard time affording food
Oh it is a SNAP card?
Chaotic good
The BEST kind of good!
So I took 5$ and tossed it in her bag…
I kinda wish you’d take another $5 and toss it in to finding a better user name.
Good thing for sure!
If it were me and the lady behind me turned it down like that, I’d probably just say something like…
“Well I was blessed today, so I figured I’d pass a bit along. If you’re sure you don’t need it yourself, then perhaps go buy a meal for a homeless person or buy a kid a toy for Christmas. Pass it forward.”
No evil here, you did a good thing 👍
Chaotic neutral
It was a nice thing to give a random stranger something they could actually use. If she felt she did not actually need that, she can easily give $5 to another stranger. Since none of us on the internet were actually there, we really can’t judge since we didn’t see your or her expression, or tone of voice. Being nice is not a bad thing. You were genuinely nice with no agenda or malice, that’s the line between good/bad.
There are plenty of poor people who could use help and instead you gave it to another middle class person who like all of us finds thingsia little short - but realistically has enough.
it wasn’t evil - but it wasn’t a good deed. There are better ways to give away money.
Great idea! Next time my friend shouts me lunch I’ll refuse because I’m another middle class pleb and he should feed a homeless person instead.
