I’ll Be Back to Pick It Up … As Soon as I Get Out of Prison

A man dropped off a pocketwatch with my father-in-law for repairs. He came back 25 years later to pick it up. Another time, a guy dropped off a bag of watches for batteries. He came back five years later after he got out of prison. The batteries were all dead and we had a hard time getting him to pay for new cells, but he eventually did. — Contributed anonymously to the 2022 Big Survey
