No this is not another do you return a disc thread. This is do you pat yourself on the back after returning it? And if so, how much?
A) You don't pat yourself on the back because that little devil on your shoulder tells you, "why would I return this disc? I found it, and that bum didn't spend the time looking for it. So, what, am I supposed to put my name on every disc, with my number, and anytime it gets a little lost, let someone else do all the work for me? Because that is exactly what this person did. It wasn't even in a hard place to find it!!! I don't think so. Finders keepers A-holes. Now, where is the acetone to scrape this number off of MY new disc.
B) You find the disc, see it has a number, mumble a swear to yourself because you thought you just found a new free disc. Then, you make a half hearted attempt at contacting the person while hoping they don't respond. But, when they do respond, give it back, but are not happy about having to go out of your way to meet up with them and don't feel good about it at all. Yippity do dah, some jerk kid is happy to get it back. But it should be yours. And, the kid didn't even give you anything for finding his "favorite" disc. Lame and a waste of time. No pats on the back here.
C) You feel pretty good about it. That kid was smiling when he got it back and fed you that story claiming it is his favorite disc. And, whether it is true or not, you know you made some dude/dudet happy and therefore pat yourself on the back. It is a pretty good feeling helping someone out (Although, that near perfect disc would have fit in well with your arsenal). Oh well, life goes on, and you did the right thing.
D) You feel really good about it and will make multiple attempts to contact the person. You don't let it get to you that the disc had a number on it. You will even go out of your way to get the disc back to the person and, when he/she gets it back, and you see their smile, you know you are the type of disc golfer that makes the game a better one. You pat yourself on the back pretty firmly. Good for you!
E) You hope to find discs with numbers on them and are actually disappointed when they are blank. You know, deep down, that every time you return a disc, you are pretty much making the world a better place. In fact, after you pass away, it is most likely that the major religions of the world will ordain you as nothing less than a saint and a prophet. You literally beat the living H out of yourself patting yourself on the back so firmly. If only the rest of the world was like you!
