    Smile Random Act of Kindness (we dropped the ball)

    I had to pick up my daughter today and drive her to work as her car was in getting some work done. We stopped at Tim Hortons along the way to get a couple of teas and a coffee (one for her boss). The drive through is set up with two order boards and two lanes that merge into one to go up and get your food.

    A large truck kind of jumped in front of us but not really anything that bad. I commented at the time that this guy must be in a hurry. When we got to the window the guy had paid for our order as an apology for jumping in front of us. I thought the girl was kidding and we both were kind of like okay and then she handed us our order and closed the window.

    We dropped the ball in that we should have paid for the guy behind us which was a school bus driver in one of the half buses but before we could even think about it we were handed our order and the window was closed.

    I don't go too often so I told my daughter that she is responsible for paying it forward next time. I probably will as well as I felt bad.
    Thanks Everyone!!

    How nice of that driver. At least he recognized he kind of pushed his way in front of you.

    That was nice of them. I think I would have dropped the ball too. I probably would have not been able to process the act of kindness fast enough and had that deer in the headlight as well. Look at it as a chance another to make someone else's day.

    I don't think you dropped the ball. He felt bad and made up for it. There is no doubt in my mind that you'll do the same for someone else at a later date. That's very nice of you to think of it though.
