Oh yes, and now for another encounter i just remembered about.
I manage to squeeze myself onto the tube during rush hour (never an easy task). I spot an empty seat as a woman leaves. A business man is standing right in front of it. I sigh, business men always take the seats. He glances over at me and smiles.
Business man: Oh, here you have it. gestures for me to take the seat.
Me: in slight shock oh wow, thanks very much! i move to take the seat. Just before i manage to sit, i see an elderly-ish lady board the carriage. I hover. Oh hello, would you like this seat?
Elderly-ish lady: Why thank you dear! enthusiastically plonks herself into the seat.
Business man: chuckles pass it on, eh?
Me: smiling yeah it's like a cycle.
Elderly-ish lady: Thanks so much for this. I've been standing all day. This is very very kind of you.
Me: You've been standing all day? Well then you certainly deserve that seat a lot more than i do. smile
(note: that's a lie. i just came from 3 hours of badminton. my feet were actually killing me!)
Anyway, it was a nice little encounter with random people. It's such scenarios that restore my faith in humanity (really it is the little things). Also, I've had a personal goal since the start of uni to give up a seat to an elderly person on the tube.
so TICK!
