There are some who believe we MUST put every portion of a cent someone 
might be owed into his pocket no matter how many hoops we must go 
through to get it there. That is a supportable argument, but there is 
another side to it.

Where would the world be if we all individuals demanded everything WE 
are owed?

I got rear-ended by a wealthy man just yesterday. He was very apologetic 
and offered me not only his insurance and business information (senior 
VP at a financial firm most would have heard of), but his personal cell 
number as well. However, there is no apparent damage to my $8k car. 
Nevertheless, I feel I have a moral and legal right to be a pest about 
it: to force him or his insurance company to paint the tiny scratches on 
my bumper and send me to the hospital for x-rays.

But I won't be a pest about it. In turn, I'll do what I can to prevent 
others from pestering me about dumb shit. Life's too short, and there 
has to be SOME limit to what others "owe" me and I "owe" them for every 
TINY liberty we take with one another.
