Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Carrying a Neighbors Boxes


--by paganmum, posted Jul 24, 2008

   This morning as I was coming to work, (on time for once!!!!) I saw the lady that works next door to us in the plaza where my office is located.  She was carrying in box after box after box from her car.

   As she went inside with yet another one, I started walking over to her door. When she came outside, I had a big grin on my face, and a box in my arms.  "Need some help?" I asked her.  "Oh! Well, thank you," the woman said.  "No problem. I just saw you struggling with all these boxes.  I couldn't resist the chance to help someone in need," I said, grinning wider.

   The woman smiled in thanks, and I helped her carry the remainder of the boxes into the store.  When we were done, she told me to have a nice weekend, and I told her the same.

   At lunch, I left a smile card on the windshield of her car. :)

I do. No one is supposed to have those ugly fences on the top of their pools, and it seems that everyone in the sub with a pool has one of those. My neighbor has one, and I have to look at that hideous thing every time I look out my window. Then there is my other neighbor who has three dogs.
The maximum number of dogs is supposed to be two. I wouldn't mind the three, but two of them are pit bulls who viciously snarl and growl and act like they are going
to eat my dog when they are outside. Even the owners scream at them to stop. It is very unnerving. Then one of the board members is delinquent by 3 years on the dues because she has decided she doesn't need to pay since she is on the board. I can't take the neighbors around here. I was looking for a forum to vent about the jerks around here and I came across this site called http://urajerk.com and I sent all of those idiots on the board and all my lovely neighbors with the ugly pools an anonymous card. LOL I loved it. I know it sounds stupid but I feel better. He he he

Loved the comment from Brighteyes (vigilante) I had almost crossed that word out of my dictionary, it sounded so negative. But when you preface that with kindness, I think it is worth keeping.
