> The other day I was at the bank machine. A man was at the one beside me. The bank "greeter" at a desk near us & near the door said loudly (It could only have been to us!) Don't forget Mother's Day!!! At first I didn't even realize she was saying it to us & then the man turned to her & said, "I'm an orphan." (quite seriously)
Ouch.
> But how about a smile, or looking pleasantly at others?Absolutely. Or the odd random nice act. Before EZ-Pass, when I was traveling up or down the northeast corridor, I would occasionally pay the toll for the person behind me just for kicks. For 35 or 50 cents, I'd see some person come out of the toll booth behind me very happy and smiling and waving.
About a year and a half ago, I was driving a rental car and came up to an expensive toll for a major bridge. When I got up to the toll booth, I was told that the strangers in the car ahead of me had paid my toll! I was blown away.
