Well, Zuckerberg stole the idea for Facebook from his Harvard classmates, it is only fitting that I steal this idea from the old cranky guy picking up loose shopping carts in the Walmart parking lot in Marble Falls.
I love this guy. I was there a couple of weeks ago and there were several carts just left out in the middle of the parking lot and I could see he was not happy, and his fashion shui was severely hampered by the vest, as he pushed the carts together with pretty good force. As he's walking the carts back, I could see him muttering and I thought this would be a good opportunity to greet him with a smile and get my "treat everyone with kindness" act out of the way early and get back to being myself. As he walked up, before I could even greet him, he just looks up at me said "people are aholes".
I lost it, I was laughing so hard that it affected him and he started to laugh. He said "I'm sorry and shouldn't have said that, just a really bad day". I told him he'd made my day and I am going to laugh about this for a while and explained why I was waiting for him and he started laughing at the irony. I had brightened his day but not the way I intended. Ya just never know how you're gonna brighten somebody's day.
