good will...
Sep. 19th, 2003 04:47 pmThe oddest thing happened today. I had just exited the building I work in to go troubleshoot a laptop in another building, when this guy ran up behind me saying something. I turned around, expecting I had dropped my ID, but I looked down and it was still on its lanyard. He was pointing to the ground, so I stared down at myself, and then stared up at him in bafflement. "Your shoelace," he said. "It's untied." At this point I continued to stare at him in bafflement. He got a little embarrassed, and said hurriedly, "I mean, I wasn't sure if you were aware, so I thought...your shoelace...yeah." "Right," I said. "Thanks." And turned around and kept walking so he wouldn't see me laugh in his face. Then I stopped and tied it, so all his effort wouldn't have been wasted.
Was he worried I would trip, fall, crack my crown, die, and my blood would be on his hands? I mean...who stops a total stranger on the street to tell them their shoelace is untied? Apparently people who are more concerned with the public good than myself...
