Kindness. Give Some.

Post by beantownbubba »

In 2016, I did something nice for an older mother and daughter I had just met in a local sandwich shop. The details are unimportant. It took me less than 30 seconds and cost me exactly $5. Even way back then, $5 was not exactly a big spend.

Today I met those same two women in the same place. The older one is pretty old (almost exactly the same age as my mother in fact) and the younger one is no spring chicken (about my age I'd guess). They recognized me immediately and couldn't stop talking about what I had done back then. In fact, it was the daughter who remembered the original year.

The impact to effort ratio was clearly sky high and the satisfaction level is quite high, especially appropriate on 420. It doesn't have to be a big thing and it doesn't have to be often, but the occasional gesture has a disproportionate impact on the worldwide happiness quotient.

I did not bitch slap (should that be retitled "Will slap"?) the Karen at the grocery store today arguing over a 50 cent price discrepancy between the shelf label and the register, I merely fished 2 quarters out of my pocket and gave them to the cashier with a glare directed toward the offender. Does that count?

Agree, but only if that was your intent.

My intent was to get things moving.

It wouldn't have counted in the 'Bitch Slap. Give Some.' thread.
