Hmm, is this the "Lottery Fallacy"? The odds of *me* (specific) winning the lottery are very long. The odds of *someone* (general) winning the lottery are very good.

I understand "sir" to be short for "senior", as a title of respect. It isn't necessarily gender specific. We can change words however we want to.

Found a wallet with 50 Euro in it in Italy. Spent an hour trying to find police, ended up leaving it at a train station. Kind of ruined my vacation. Then at Disney I found $50 cash on the floor in the hotel cafeteria. Notified staff (who were happy to take it). I didn't give it to them, didn't say how much it was, left my contact info. Not much you can do to find the owner, so I'm not going to "gift it" to the hotel staff.
On the way home I left my headphones on the air plane, so kind of zero-sum for me. (The headphones had my contact info in the case, never heard from anyone.)
