Yesterday I found a great parking space in a lot at my college campus. It seemed too good to be a valid lot, as it was almost empty on a very busy day, where not even the parking garage offered a spare space... And it was very close to my classes. There were no signs posted, so I took a chance and pulled in.
As I sat in the car, getting my books and papers together, a woman walked up to me to tell me that I had in fact stumbled upon a lot that she was reserving for teachers, and students couldn't park there until evening. So, I apologized and chuckled with her that I knew it was too good to be true that I had found such a good spot.
She said that most people get mad and act rude when she tells them the lot is for staff, and since I hadn't done that, she let me park there for the day!
Yay - good parking spots and nice people make me happy!

This is so true. It's human
This is so true. It's human nature to react to kindness with kindness. It's also human nature to want to be rude to some one who's rude. We just have to act like we want to be treated.
As the saying goes, what goes
As the saying goes, what goes around, comes around. If you're polite and nice to someone they will more than likely repay that kindness. Your story made me smile on a dreary day. Thanks.
