Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Moving Day


--by lindariebel, posted Sep 14, 2015
Hope you don't mind a past AOK, When my husband and I moved, it was a very hot day and the job was difficult, due to a steep driveway and TONS of boxes of books! Halfway through the day, we ordered pizzas and sodas and gave them to the movers. They were so surprised! No one had ever done that before, apparently. They said some homeowners don't even let them use the bathroom.

They were so pleased to be offered a drink they went to the shop & got the milk, & brought me a chocolate bar as a thank you, & yes - they said some people never think to offer them a brew or let them use the bathroom, even when the job takes all day
