Random Acts of Kindness Make Monday Mornings Happy
My piece of shit car was deemed too unsafe to even be tested for the Ontario Drive Clean emissions test, so I couldn’t get my plates renewed. The car’s not worth fixing, so I’m looking for a newer car at the moment. But that’s not what this post is about.
One of my coworkers lives near me, and offered to drive me to and from work until I get a car, which was really nice of her. I had to adjust my schedule, since she starts at 7:30am and I used to start at 8. Today was the first day and it was a bit rough getting up earlier, but that’s not what this post is about either.
So anyway… on our way to work, we stopped by Tim Horton’s to get morning coffee and tea. When we got to the drive through window, the cashier informed us the lady in the car ahead of us paid for our order! That was a pleasant surprise and brought a smile to our faces. My driver (the nice coworker, not a real chauffeur), in turn, paid for the order of whoever was in the car behind us. Hopefully it sparked some sort of chain reaction that continued all day, but I’ll never know how far the giving went.
I have heard of this sort of thing happening before, but never seen it firsthand. I hope the nice lady in front of us had a great day.

It’s great to hear these kind of stories. Thanks for sharing. I’ll try out my own RAK today.

That’s really cool. I was under the impression that this sort of thing only happened in the movies or the 50’s.

The paying by your chauffeur caught me off guard. I wouldn’t have done that but, I will should this happen to me in the future.
