A strange bout of honesty.

Today on my way to work I decided to stop off at the local supermarket to buy a pork pie and get some cashback. I asked the young lady at the counter for £10.00 and she gave it to me then got a little confused and tried to give me the money again.
My reaction was to tell her instantly that she had already given me the money and I passed it back to her. On walking out of the store I began to feel p*ssed off with myself that I had passed up the opportunity for some free money and got in a proper strop.
However as I began to think about the whole thing I rather realised that my instinctive reaction was "to do the right thing". This made me feel really good about myself; I had evidently not done this out of any fear of being caught (the security gaurd cannot ask you for a reciept for a ten pound note!) some it must have come from my sense of right and wrong.
Anybody else had a similar incident and if so what did you do?
P.S. In what a belive to be a good karma moment later in the day someone gave me a nice fan to help cool myself down !
