After I swung by the library today to donate my 12 books, I went to the mall. I had a BOGO Free coupon for a coffee at a coffee shop. But since I haven't caffeinated up my 2 rugrats yet - it was just me ordering. Now believe me, I could EASILY down 2 cups of coffee in record time, but I'm not that weird in public.
So I looked at my coupon and shoved it back into my wallet. As the coffee dude made my cappuccino, a lady and her teen daughter came up behind me. So I thought - I'm not going to ever use this coupon and it's just going to take up space in my wallet. So I grab my coupon, turn and say, "Here you go. I'm not going to use this. It's a buy one, get one free coupon." The lady seemed delighted and I think the teen rolled her eyes at me. What would have ended up trash in my barrel turned into an extra $3 in some lady's wallet. That's nice. Not much, but still nice. An example how it didn't cost me a single dime to be nice to someone. If my husband was with me, he would have called me a freak or weirdo.
