Read We’re All Taking The Bus, But This Kid Is Doing Laps

Kind Strangers Kindness

I was at an otherwise empty bus stop with an inconsolable crying kid, already feeling guilty for all the people on the bus I was going to inflict his crying on, when suddenly he stopped crying completely with no warning.
I looked to try to figure out what had triggered the change and saw my son was staring at a man who was walking towards the stop.

Me: "What's the reason for the refund?"
Coworker #1: "They didn't know they had to buy the pods. They… uh… thought it just… uh… made the coffee."

My coworker and I are cooing over a bulldog that’s been dropped off. Coworker: aww, she looks just like a Disney character! Like the little sister of the princess or something. Me: aww, that’s nice. I was going to say she looks like Quasimodo. (We both thought she was cute!)

Read Not Much Assurance About The Insurance, Part 23

I’d had enough of my insurance company. Despite never filing a claim, my premiums kept going up. The one time I did try to file a claim, to replace a cracked windshield, I found out my glass deductible was actually more than the replacement itself. I told three different reps I wasn’t going to file it, but they still kept calling me back with, “Well, we see you started this claim…”

Customer: "Can I see your resume paper selection?"
The resume paper sample book is literally six inches from her on the counter, labeled in big bold letters: RESUME PAPER.
I slide it over and open it for her. She flips through it, loudly disapproving of every single paper.
Customer: "Ugh. This color’s weird. This one feels cheap. How much are they?"

Customer: "I was just in your fantasy section, and I couldn't find the next book in this series. Do you have the next book in stock somewhere?" 
She takes the book out of her bag to show. Well, I say book, it's actually half a book. It's been split in half at some point, and what I am looking at is the last five hundred pages.

When I was a child and lived in Newark, NJ, my parents regularly took us to an Evangelical Free Church. If you haven’t heard of the denomination, looking at a church phone listing will tell you a lot because all the names end with “-son” or “-sen.” If I recall correctly, it was the church […]
