Proof there are still good people around...

And that it's a super small world...

So I went today to finally buy a bed frame for my bed. I've been on a box spring and mattress for about 7 months. So I go to Sleepys, buy it and they tell me it's gonna be $60 to deliver the frame. Fine. So I say I'll carry it or take a cab. The jerk face carried it out the door for me and propped it on the side of the building and left me to fend for myself. I hail a cab and the cab driver drives off when he sees me go for the frame. So I think it's what 12 blocks, I can walk. Well after 2 blocks, I can't walk and carry this thing. I popped a woman in the back of the head. It was too big and heavy. So I see another cab and I'm at 14th street, in the middle of the street trying to get this dude to take me. He won't. And I'm on the verge of tears.

Well I make it out of the middle of the road and 2 girls offered to help me carry it 10 more blocks. So nice. I mean come on, nobody does that in the city. I've helped people from time to time, but not like this.

Small world? Turns out this girl's best friend used to work with me. She's the PR director at Saks now. I mean this girl used to hear stories about me from our old job.

I plan on sending her something on Monday...but just when you think everyone is a total jerk...and people have just gone to crap, something like this happens. Trust me. I'll help the person that was struggling like me next time- and not think twice about it.

Great story, Kimmi! :clap_1:

Hate to dampen your enthusiam but be careful. Sometimes if you stop to help someone change a tire, you get mugged. :(

Getting mugged may be worth helping all of the other people in genuine need along the way. It would be a lonely world if everyone lived in fear of what might happen. I say live a bit and meet and help as many people as you can along the way. ;-) Actually, I do more than say it, I live it and it is way more funn.

Great adventure story, kimmifunn. I could picture the entire thing.

those were some good girls!!! were you carrying this big-A$$ bedframe in your usual spike hills??? that's what I wanna know! :rolling:

Great story. And people in the city DO get jaded. It happens here all the time.
But when you're from the south, you notice the difference. And you made a couple of new friends!

I guess we're jaded up here.

The truth is, a lot of it is shallow.

I do appreciate some northern frankness. People in the south would often rather you smile, be nice, and lie to them, rather than tell the truth.

I think that depends on the company you keep. I know way too many people in the south that fit the bill you describe and I could tell you some stories, but around here, I know way too many people who are geniune.

I will share one quick story without naming names, about some ladies I know who live in an large southern city in TN. They have been going to the same hairdresser for years. In fact, they grew up with their hairdresser - best friends. Well, the group of ladies became tired of their friend's cuts, so individually, each decided to get her hair cut elsewhere. The kicker to the story is that this started two years ago, and they still go to their old "friend" to get their hair cut first by her, before going to another Salon to get another stylist to repair the damage. They are too chicken to tell the friend so they continue to see her every three weeks. ...and you all thought your haircuts were expensive. :idontno:
