Thief Returns Stolen Laptop Contents On USB Stick

While it's true that Sweden is responsible for unleashing IKEA and ABBA on humanity, not everything they produce is terrible. Their thieves are some of the most considerate in the world. An unnamed professor at Umeå University received a USB stick with all his data after his laptop was stolen. From the article: "The professor, who teaches at Umeå University in northern Sweden, was devastated when ten years of work stored on his laptop was stolen. But to his surprise, a week after the theft, the entire contents of his laptop were posted to him on a USB stick. 'I am very happy,' the unnamed professor told the local Västerbottens-Kuriren newspaper. 'This story makes me feel hope for humanity.'"

So let me get this straight.

You had a "friend," a term I use loosely here. He lost god-knows-how-much-work when his laptop hard drive died and your first reaction is "I told you so?"

And you defend this behavior and claim he deserved your ridicule, yet think it's not unsympathetic.

If I were you, I would investigate the possibility that you may be a psychopath. At the very least you're a horrible ass and a poor excuse for a friend. I would much rather have this "stupid" friend than you in my life.

deserve - To have earned or merited; to be worthy to have; To reward, to give in return for service

I'd say anyone who knows the risks, and has a seatbelt, but doesn't use it, has pretty much earned the reward of dying for their stupidity (or whatever else has driven them to eschew said safety measure).
