True And Amusing Anecdotes
Hello
Bizarre or funny things that really have happened!
It Seems Karma May Really Work by Tiggerlover
Sunday Night
The husband and I went over the family finances and decided some tightening of the belt is required. We discussed ways of saving money including taking our lunches, milk, coffee & sugar to work and not buying.
Monday Afternoon
I was waiting in line at the supermarket to buy a few small items. The young man in front tried to calculate how much it would cost for his few items while his toddler munched on a cheese stick in his stroller. The check-out lady rung up his order and it was obviously too much because he set aside the lentils, buckwheat and carrots, paid for the rest with quite a collection of coins and slowly walked away.
It was my turn to pay for my items and on the spur of the moment, I told the check-out lady to add the man's 3 items to my bill and put them in a separate bag. I walked out of the shop, found the man and said, "Excuse me, you left this behind." Handing him the bag, I walked away quickly - strange as it may sound, I was embarrassed at this impulsively kind thing I was doing and didn't want to seem condescending or pitying. I certainly wasn't looking for thanks - I just realised that for all my supposed money troubles, I was fortunate enough that the $5 for his items wouldn't really be missed by me.
Tuesday Morning
I picked up the mail. Opening one of the envelopes, $5 fluttered out. I had won it in a competition.
Maybe there really is something to this Karma thing, after all...
