    i held the door for an older lady a few days back, she looked at me like i was the devil. so much for being nice. but i do always wish store clerks and such a good day when i'm done shopping. i like being kind, but most people around here must have social fobia or something. just another reason i hate this town.

    yeah it's kind of sad that people question the motives of someone offering a kind gesture, but keep on truckin'. Retail can be such a thankless job sometimes, I worked in retail for a long time when I was younger and I have to say even a simple smile and a nod of thanks can hold you out for the rest of the shift. Or at least until the next customer comes along and snaps his fingers at you like a dog (true story) XD

    @Suicune's Fire, I bet you do it more than you realize, any positive gesture you make towards someone may not seem out of character for you but if someone's having a bad day, that normal thing you do might be the best thing that happened to them that day.

    It's not like you need to dress up in a super-flareon costume and do random good deeds for anyone you encounter. (It would be awesome if you did, and I'd love to see video of it XD) Sometimes you just being you is all some people need

    Maybe I'll start linking some of the stories I read (I spend a lot of my "nothing else to do" time on the chive and they'll put stuff up that's pretty heartwarming.

    @Soups, that's pretty cool, there's quite a few homeless people around where I live, and I think I've gotten a bit desensitized to it. But every once in a while someone will have a sign that's goofy like "My house got abducted by aliens" and I usually give them some change if only for the fact that they still find a way to make the best of a horrible situation.

    "My house got abducted by aliens..." xD

    I don't do it all of the time, but I actually enjoy doing it every once in awhile. You never know who may actually need it and who may not.
