Yesterday a friend was scheduled to come over and help me with some legal stuff .
So, we agreed to get our errands done first thing then meet at my apt to get lunch first, etc.
My first stop was the donut shop to get Kalachies[sp] and donuts on my way to discount tires.
A young man open the door (after he raced me in the parking lot to get there) I was thinking to myself, I'm not much of a challenge in the racing field, pick someone else as I was chuckling to myself at the beauty of youth.
We get to the door and he hold the door for me and the woman who came with me.
As we get inside, the crew ask, whose next.
I point to the young man and say THEY ARE! Chivalry is not dead and should be rewarded. [I'm thinking, we all know that boy would out run me, ok out walk me, lol]
Do, as I say, someone taught you well, the woman turns and can't help herself and beams. I have a grin on my face at this point and say, I'm guessing from your reaction as she turns to me, you are said teacher!
She was so excited to tell someone how she taught him how she would just stand by the door waiting and just when she was going into her proud moment, they took her in line and were working on getting her stuff fir her. So, I am standing there with my four boxes of [BRUNCh, kolachi/donuts]
When a guy gets up across the room and smiles toward me like I'm tge love of his life and I am thinking, ThaT smile us not for me, and I am turning around to see whose behind me when his Wife is in my ◇BLIND SPOT♡.
SO,I stand there as he passes me by and I am thinking to myself how strange with a smile on my face.
Also I'm standing there I hear a woman's voice behind me and by this time I am openly laughing as I turn around and say, I wondered who that smile was for as it 'clearly' was NOT a 'am I next' smile, I continued with [ as I am looking at her] as he's intersecting," I get that a lot" and the woman with him is trying to share as he scopes in on the food.
I hear, NEXT...
I am headed to the counter and the gentleman is asking for one of the kolachis, I quip, You're on your own dude, these are for DISCOUNt. And I head toward the counter.
I say these are for you guys since you have been so great to me when I was in yesterday, etc.
So, one of the guys grabs the bags once it has been determined they were ok receiving them.
I take care of business and I'm on my way.
With a lighter step in my pep, oops, other way around.
This entire encounter lasted all of maybe 10 minutes, but set the tone for the day...
For all of us.
That was my first stop...
See the next part of the day...
