There still are kind-hearted people in this world.

Just this morning, on my way to work, I stopped at the store to get some cranberry juice. The lady in front of me had a few more things than me, but still let me go before her in line.

I was so suprised that she did that. In a world where everyone puts themselves first, this lady still had what it takes to let someone else go before her. I was losing hope in this city.

Thats all. Be friendly, folks.

I agree! I gave an elderly lady five bucks the other day to cover what she was short for her groceries.

Love friendly people!

I was truly impressed with her gratitude.

I really wish everyone out there was like that. I grew up in a small town, and everyone was so friendly to each other. I loved it. I still love going back because a few people even still know me! But, here in Omaha, I feel like everyone here is so angry and self-centered.

I hope to get out of this city someday and move back home

Yep, stuff like that gives me hope for humanity. Holding doors for people is also more appreciated then you might think. I actually held the door to the student center for a family who was touring our campus a few weeks ago, and the dad actually remarked "huh, they hold the doors for you here".

I live in a town of 751 people. Everyone is pretty friendly. Hasn't been a major crime here in 10 years. The kind of place where everyone knows your name when you go grocery shopping. It caught me off guard when I first moved here. I was in the grocery store and someone called me by my first name. I turned and it was the local pharmacist, she wanted to let me know about a prescription error and had seen me enter the store. So she stopped her car, parked, came in the store just to tell me.

I was walking to the store and someone I never met pulled off the road and offered me a ride because it had started to rain.

However when I live in Tampa, Fla it was just the opposite. Not sure what cities do to people.

This makes me consider moving to a small town. 2000>

Sometimes I help out, I just never want the credit

 

[clamum]

Yeah I've had that happen too OP, especially if I'm at a grocery store just to pick up a bottle of liquor or something. One of the major things I enjoy living in small towns is the friendly people.

Cranberry juice? What are you on your period?
