Nothing Wrong Sis!

When something goes wrong, Someone needs to take Responsibility of it!

The Security guy didn't deny that you left the cylinder in his Care! Or did he?

I see Nothing Wrong ,Except your Conscience Pricks u to leave it for them!

So on Monday precisely, I went to this gas station to refill a 6kg cylinder. After making payment, I told the security standing at the filling spot that I quickly wanted to withdraw some cash from a nearby bank ( also wanted to buy a gadget) so he said I could go but I shouldn't stay long.

So when I got back after an hour or so, my cylinder was nowhere to be found. I explained to the manager and when the security arrived, he said he no longer knows where the cylinder was.

That was how the whole issue started, there was an old cylinder, i mean very old n rough one left at their pavilion. I was then told that perhaps someone went with mine and left the other rough one. They suggested I sud go with the rough one, and I said no, I can't take someone else's property.

When they started telling me gibberish, I went to the nearby Police Station to complain and an officer was asked to go with me.

To call to story short, the Manager finally called the MD and when the MD came, he said I should go with the rough one and if they couldn't find mine till today, I should come get a new one. That was how I left with the police officer.

When I got there today, the manager called MD, what I heard after the call was that she (manager) told one of her colleagues that MD asked them to buy me another cylinder (they produce and sell cylinder in this company).

I was finally given a new one, but I'm having this doubtful mind that perhaps I shouldn't have collected it or something.

Please house, help clear my conscience, did I do something wrong by collecting it, having heard the MD said the security and the Manager would pay for it?

Should I have just overlooked the matter right from time?

NOTHING WRONG..... BUT THE PERSON THAT STOLE YOURS MUST SUFFER

kingvick09:
THAT WAS HOW MY BICYLE WAS STOLEN AT IKOTUN GTBANK THAT YEAR SECURITY DENY

Temitopemo6e6:
dear all is well you did the right tin

GboyegaD:
You did nothing wrong. The security guy allowed you leave your cylinder behind so he should take the query for his carelessness.

emillysmigael:
You did nothing wrong...

lagusboyyy:
You are absolutely spot on.

Assuming, you never said anything about the gas cylinder to the security, then thats wrong. But you've already alerted him, preceding when you went somewhere else.

On point.

Aunty op..na because say na where them for dey feel gas....next time ehnnn nor leave any thing with security personnel attach to a company or organisation

Most times ehhnn ... the responsibility of security in a company na to protect employers property not customer or individuals property. Security officers most times nor dey allow you put something for thier care especially if it has nothing to do with thier employer...he supposed nor allow you put am for he care

Na because say the security officer na better person na im make he admit o... assuming say your stuff really cost ehnn he for deny am and the manager for begin speak English and also say you kept it there ar your own risk

Hmmmm. I beg to differ. An average security man in Lagos earns 20k or less. Paying for that cylinder May cost him 2-4k which is up to 20% of his salary. In these COVID times, that is a huge loss to take.

OP if your income is higher than his , u probably should have overlooked it and purchased another cylinder.

Sometimes, it is not about who is right or wrong but about what is best for everyone!

OP go to the Security Man and offer him some money. The guy wanted to do good now it is costing him dearly. Give am small thing. Beside that, I'm happy with the way you handled the whole thing. When things go wrong, someone should pay. I just think in this case, you should also pay a part too.
