<blockquote>1) Went to the coffee shop after looking at the house that I'm putting a bid on, and realized that I didn't have any cash. Dude was like "You live around here" and I was like "Nah." He asked if I worked around there and I said I didn't but my wife did. He was like "Just drop it off next time you're around the way."<br /><br />2) Got off the train and walked down the street bopping to <a href="http://www.stonesthrow.com/news/2009/03/thank-you-jay-dee-act-4">this</a> until some teenager runs up from behind me and grabs my arm. I turn around and he's panting saying "Hey man, you dropped your phone back there." Some little old lady comes up, carrying my Blackberry over a block out her way to give it to me. <br /><br />What's good in YOUR hood? </blockquote><br /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lvl.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />This reminds me of a recent check presentation ($10,000) I was heading to on behalf of my non-profit about a month ago. I slipped on an icy road and ended up in a ditch completely scared shitless that I wasn't going to get to the presentation on time--NAGL.<br /><br />I got desperate and walked out to the middle of the road waving my arms and people swerved around me like "f*ck outta the way fool!" until one dude pulls up in an older model Acura MDX and offers me a ride--turns out he had just dropped off his wife where I was headed (!)<br /><br />After the presentation, I ask one of the patron's assistants to drive me to my car, and by the time I get there, the cops are on the scene. I tell them what happened and they call a tow truck for me and tell me it'll be 45 mins-1hour. I sit in my car to keep out of the sub zero weather and text msg the wife while waiting for a tow...<br /><br />Not 10 minutes later, a dude in a 30 foot flat bed truck hauling insulation stops to see if I'm okay, which I was, other than being a little cold. He had a winch on his truck and tells me he'll get me out, and he did less than 5 minutes later. I must have thanked him 100 times...<br /><br />On the drive home, the kindness of those strangers nearly moved me to tears.
