Sometimes I Like Being Wrong
So I’m going down into the subway, and this guy passes by me. He was kind of in a hurry and brushed past me. I glance at him, and he’s wearing baggy pants, and big jacket, a bandana and baseball hat. First thing I think of is ‘thug’, just like a lot of guys that take my train. Nothing wrong with being one. I’m not surprised that he didn’t say ‘excuse me’. So I’m walking down the stairs, he passes by me, and ahead of me is this old blind man, taking his time going down the steps. ‘Poor old guy, he’s gonna get pushed over’ I think. So thug is rushing down the stairs and gets to the old guy. And then he pauses. ‘OK sir, I’m on your right side. You’re almost there, you’ve got um, 7 steps more to go.’ Thug then places his hand under the blind man’s elbow and helps him the rest of the way down. After they get to the bottom, Thug pats the old guy on the back and says ‘You have a nice day now’, and rushes to the train.
You know, sometimes I love being wrong about people.
aww.. how sweet of him to do so!
aww… what a nice story.
Those are the best times to be “wrong” about people…great story, Yano

That’s the best story I’ve heard all week!

re: the webcam pic.
Sometimes it’s grainy, sometimes it’s not. For my webcam, it depends on how the planets are aligned at the time the picture is taken.
Kat, I have often been told I look like a bunny. It’s the teeth.
Ah Christine, I know exactly what you mean. I love being wrong about people too, when it happens in such a positive way.
I’m so glad you were wrong.
