seraphsong Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Getting off the Red Line today, I'm walking down the stairs and an older woman is struggling to get her suitcase up the stairs. After a dozen or so people barrel past her on her way down, I met her eyes, smiled and asked if she could use any help with her suitcase. Her face just melted and I carried it the rest of the way up the stairs. I could just tell I made her day.Being nice is awesome and rewarding. Link to comment
Bumblebee4 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 That's awesome. People get so caught up in running through life they forget to do the kind things. And it always makes us feel better when we do it. You'd think we'd do it more often. Happy for you “Women are like teabags.

Georges Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Beautiful."Not having to struggle on the stairs" probably meant less to the woman than "knowing there are still good people in the world."Both make it a better place.Thank you.

Sambalina Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I had someone do this for me once - carrying a suitcase up and down metro station stairs. It truly is awesome! I still tell people about the lovely lady that helped me carry my bags. Maybe your older lady will tell her friends about you, too I'll bet you did make her day.
