New Glasses and Well Wishes

--by nikfilms, posted Oct 10, 2010

An old man I knew fell down in front of my house. He was okay but he had smashed his glasses. I knew he was living off a pension and had limited resources so I told him I would like to get his glasses fixed for him.

He told me if I go to a certain optometrist they'll do it free if I mentioned his name. I took the glasses there, mentioned his name, and they said "yeah, we know him" and then charged me $80 to fix them.

I never told him they charged me, I just passed on his new glasses and my well wishes.
