Positive things i have witnessed/done today thread

Post by Greenman »

It's covid times, we are all fucking fed up, let's talk about positivity.

I was in the local co-op by the parents place today.

I popped in for a simple few ciders...

Whilst i was in the cue consisting of me and the guy in front, it seemed obvious that he was a little slow and was arguing over his shopping costs saying he had gone a bit mad and could not afford the total on the till...the till assistant was so patient, she treated him so nicely and i was so impressed with her patience.

Too much i witness people that can't see the differences in people and respect them for what they are, rather than judging them and just not really caring at all.

What has been your positive experience today?

My pal who is dying from cancer, keeps me inspired by his jokes and positivity.

I can't go see him. And I'd love to pay for him and his family to come here. But he's too poorly.

He's amazing.

A young lad was parked at the roadside in the next village with an old zxr400.

He'd run out of fuel having just bought the bike 20 mins earlier.
Quick trip home, grab the Jerry can and funnel, he was on his way 5 mins later.

He had a key which worked. Why would he have nicked it?

Mmmm it's possible. I should have asked.

He may have been a social worker too.

I spent the best part of an hour trying to help a woman who’s dog had gone after something into a huge field of 6’ tall maize and couldn’t find it’s way out, felt good!
Shortly afterwards ended up bellowing ‘fuck off’ and aiming a halfhearted kick at a particularly aggressive collie that charged a 100m across a field to try and bite a chunk out of my dog. Elderly owners not impressed. Felt bad!!!
Does the second incident cancel out my earlier good deed?
