surprise

sometimes people surprise you. sometimes it makes you happy... and sometimes not so much.

In the past two days I have had both.

surprise #1: (the kind that you dont like to have..)

ew. so I am at the gym in the express line at the weights. now, typically you go in order with this progression. so I start at the beginning bopping around. Well this man (in tight biker shorts... ew) hops in right behind me. Fine, no problem. I am easy going. Until... I then skip and go to the next machine and he GLARES at me. I state, "Oh I'm sorry were you about to use this." "Well I WAS going to use it but clearly not anymore." So I state in a very calm and kind voice, "I'm sorry sir why don't you go right ahead." ... and I marched my self right over to a completely different section. ew. he should really be a bit nicer at the gym.


surprise #2: (the wonderful kind...)

"tickets passes, tickets passes" - train conductor

"Crap. where is my train pass? in here? nope. in here? nope. in my lunchbag? nope. In my shoe? nope. crap." - me

"do you have cash? - amelia

"oh great... no I don't have cash. this is super." - me

"Here you go ma'am. I have an extra ticket" - extremely kind gentleman sitting next to me

"Oh no sir, I cant accept this ticket. thank you but I cant accept it." - me

"No no please. take it." - extremely kind gentleman

"Well then I will pay it forward. I will start keeping an extra ticket for the next person that this same thing happens to..." -me

"Sounds good. have a nice evening." - again extremely kind gentleman

and then... I saw him again today! we are now officially train friends. He is approximately 68 years old, very serious looking business man that helped a bee bopping little ole me in my cute flower headband get home. What a great surprise.
