Passing Out the Positives

[rhonawestbrook]

Last night after Orientation at Fox & Hound (which was WONDERFUL BTW and I start officially tonight at 7) I stopped at the grocery store on my way home. While in the bread isle, a handsome young man walked up to me holding his hat in one hand and his green basket in the other.

“Excuse me miss,” he said, “I don’t mean this in a stalkery way or

That is wonderful! What a great story! :-)

I like to give appreciation to folks in service to me at the moment... Like a nurse who was especially kind, or a doctor who took his or her time with me or the garbage collector or mailman... Whoever! :-)

OO this is awesome! I have to go to Target today and I am SO going to pass this along to the checkout people.

Thank you girl!

[rhonawestbrook]

Well I LOVE this story!

Wish I could have been there to see the smiles on their faces. There's nothing like that warm feeling you get when a complete stranger does something kind like that for no reason.

[rhonawestbrook]

Yup.

I ADORE you!!!!!

I once had a pocket full of coins and filled four blocks of expired or nearly expired parking meters. I got hollered at by the meter lady!

I told her that I suffer from OCD and it hurts my head a lot when the meters expire. So she let me keep doing, since she thought I was crazy. As long as I wasn't doing something nice for the sake of it, but keeping myself from going bananas, it was okay.

The funny thing is that my argument was partially true. It does really bug me to see parking meters expired when a car is parked in front of them, even after metered hours! I have to resist the temptation to feed the meter for my own car, even if it is a nickel just to get rid of the little red flag.

Weird, huh? But the feeding everyone else's meter was just a nice thing. I doubt if anyone noticed that they didn't get a ticket though, so it didn't "make" anyone's day.

LOL I LOVE it!

Sad how it was okay to do it for YOU, but not to help other people. Nice quick thinking on your part though. Hat's off to you for that!

Yeah, it really bugs me when they harp (and even write tickets!!!) for feeding someone's meter. "Interfering with justice," or something like that, they call it. I could see that if you shoved the meter reader out of the way, tore up the ticket being written, and then feeding the meter, but honestly. I remember reading about them threatening to arrest some old guy who walked around and fed meters to be kind.

I plan to watch TV and shovel the driveway.... Oh, wait, I meant watch the driveway and shovel the TV.
