My good deeds do not come cheap.
I try to be kind to strangers, but typically when I do, something bites me in the ass.
So, I've kinda stopped doing it.
Unless something like today happens.
This morning on the train, there was this woman sitting in the seat in front of me. She's very pretty, put together, quiet. I usually do not pay her any mind.
Today, though, she started having major allergy issues. Sneezing, coughing, etc.
I said "God bless you", but tried to ignore the rest.
So, all of this was happening as we are getting close to the station, so the aisle was full of people. I noticed this dude kept looking over at the sneezing lady. Finally she gave him the look of death and put up her hands like "What!?!?!?"
He quickly looked away and turned red.
She sighed.
I tapped her on the shoulder and gave her a brand new packet of tissues.
She tried to take one and give them back to me, I told her to keep them.
She thanked me a bunch of times before getting off the train.
Silently, I thanked her in my head for providing this morning's amusement.

We should all be nicer to everyone. Good job, Von!
Well, almost everyone. Mitt deserves to be pinned down and have his hair cut.
You may have one gold star for Friday, Von.
;-)
Mitt would have said the free market should have determined whether she got tissues.
Nice work, Von
