Sometimes people are nice

Like yesterday. People were nice yesterday.

Example A. Being me, I was lost on a bus meant to be going to the pier. I tapped the guy in front of me on the shoulder and asked where I should be going, and he said that it was ten minutes back that way. Awesome, I said, so I got off at the next stop. He also got off at the next stop and offered to walk me there, giving me a tour of the things we went past and generally being nice. When we got to the pier, he bought me and the friend I was meeting there doughnuts, then just cheerfully went on his way. NICE.

Example B. The man in the hipster cafe in town made me very nice curly fries.

Example C. The lady in the pottery painting cafe was super friendly and didn't get annoyed even when we stayed until closing time.

So whenever it feels like the world is full of fuckwits, remember that sometimes they are nice fuckwits who are just having a bad day.
