birdlike 0 #1 September 8, 2008 I stopped into the parking lot of a local Publix supermarket because I needed to use the ATM that is just outside the doors. As I drove parallel to the front of the store hoping to find a parking space at the curb (where the cars face the building, as opposed to the spots in the lanes, away from the building), I saw a guy standing near his car, a blue Jaguar, and at first I thought perhaps he was about to back out. No one else was coming, most other spots were taken, and this was the closest one to the door -- primo spot. But alas, he was egressing his car, not entering it. I found another spot some distance away. As I passed his car on my walk up to the ATM, there was a big, pot-bellied scruffy-lookin' guy standing near it. He didn't see me, but I eyeballed him. He bent down right near the driver's door of the car and picked up what appeared to be a small set of keys on a ring. He didn't get into the car, and he didn't pocket the keys. I did my business at the ATM, and then lingered there on the sidewalk for a minute or so, thinking about what to make of this guy. He looked bleary-eyed, like he was possibly drunk. He could indeed have passed for "homeless-looking." He also stood around as he had been before he'd walked over to the car to pick up the keys. For all I knew, they could have been his keys that he'd dropped near this other guy's Jaguar. I decided that I would give a look inside the store (though I had no personal reason to go in) to see if I could spot the car's driver. It was kind of a long shot, because I really had not noted what he was wearing, or what he looked like, except that he was not very large, might have been in his 30s, and was black, with short-ish hair. So I went in and put my head on a swivel. I started almost at one side of the store and went left, looking down each aisle for perhaps five aisles. I had a flash thought that this was probably going to be futile, but then I saw a black man walking nearer down one of the aisles. I called out to him, "Excuse me, did you just pull up in a blue Jaguar?" He said yes. I was kind of shocked; I had thought it was a long-shot that he might be the right guy. As I said, I hadn't really studied what he'd looked like. I asked, "Did you lose a set of keys?" He immediately did the cliched pat of the pockets and his eyes and mouth widened in surprise and he said, "Yes!" So I told him about the guy I had seen stoop to pick up keys by the Jaguar. I mentioned that the guy looked a little on the shady, out-of-it side, and I didn't know what he was about, but that he was the guy who had the keys. The shopper put his bottles of water down at an empty checkout stand and walked out along with me. I didn't really want to be involved if there was going to be a need for an altercation (but I'd've been willing to be a good witness), so I started heading toward my car across the parking lot, taking my leave of the situation now that I had done what I needed to do. The guy had already thanked me at least once as we were walking. He approached the key-picker-upper and evidently there was not much hubbub as he identified himself as the keys' owner and was given them back. Scruffy-man began to depart walking across the parking lot--giving me the impression that he may have hung around specifically to get the keys safely back to their owner. I myself had also had that goal in mind, but not knowing that was scruffy-man's intent, I had thought maybe there was something hinky about to go on. It made me feel glad to be wrong about the guy. Two of us teamed up unknowingly to help Mr. Jaguar get his keys back; and Mr. Jaguar was very outwardly appreciative, and it made me feel good to see him smile genuinely and wave and say thank you again as I got into my car to leave. It just felt good, in general, to witness and to take part in a helpful deed.Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birdlike 0 #4 September 8, 2008 Quote Would you have been so intent on finding the Jaguar owner if it had been a soccer mom that picked up the keys?

I pack for myself, but if I had to pick, I'd probably go for the hottest girl packer and then tip her really well. As for the appearance... I dunno. But I really do think that sometimes you're just left to play the odds, making your decisions based on experience and impressions. I think that if most folks here had seen that guy who picked up the keys, they would not have thought, "Oh, here's a conscientious fellow who's going, no doubt, to see to it that the keys are returned to their rightful owner." Frankly, he looked like a bum, and his eyes looked like the insides of my cheeks. I still was pleased that I was able to leave the scene thinking positively about two people instead of negatively. That's a welcome relief from the daily grind of, "This schmuck has no seatbelt on, and his three child passengers are not in car seats but instead are bopping around inside the car"; "This dumb bitch thinks she's coordinated enough to be on that phone as she does her mascara"; "I guess this stupid fuck never heard of a turn signal, and doesn't know you're not supposed to pass cars in the lane to the right of them"...Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had no good reason to do this,the yard was not that tall and the owner takes good care of his property. A few weeks later while I was doing the same account the guy came over to ask if I had cut his grass. I said I had. He thanked me and asked why. I told him I had some time and just felt like it. He went on to tell me that his son had been in a wreck the week that I had cut his grass and that is why he had not done it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mamajumps 0 #22 September 8, 2008 Quote I love a good highjacked thread in the morning. Back to the topic, kind of. I do kind of random acts of kindness. I say random because they come more from a feeling I get that someone needs something. Not long ago I cut the lawn next to one of my customers.It was the end of the day and I had finished up early.

I'm all about doing nice things and wasn't being critical of anyone, certainly not the OP. There, have we cleared that up? On a different note, should we start an Ass Hat forum for people that like to say Ass Hat?
