Be Nice Day
Today as an experiment I decided that I’d go out of my way to be as nice and helpful to people as I could all day…. nothing huge, just in little ways… a kind of extension to the whole “see someone without a smile give them one of yours” sort of thing.
People’s reactions where on the whole varied.. some people were confused, some people looked at me like I was crazy, some people were blatantly suspicious of my motives (which I thought was rather sad really).
Although it took more energy continually going a bit further towards being nice, it was worth it.
One lady in her seventies had the best response EVER when I showed her where the eggs had been moved to in my local Sainsburys…
“You’re a lovely young man. My grand-daughter’s only thirty one next month and single, you single? ”
“I’m single, my girlfriend dumped me in January. ”
“More fool her. You looking? ”
“I think I found someone. “*
“Oh well. ”
And off she went…. very random, very funny.
*I haven’t but it seemed the only way to bring the conversation to an end.
