Kindness is undoubtedly the most powerful thing.

Today my car broke down on my way to work, on a day when I had to be in early for a business critical project review. And I had no signal on my phone to call my recovery company.

Out of nowhere a group of men on their way to a construction site turned up, looked to see if there was something they could fix - and when they couldn’t they towed me to the nearest garage, and even stuck around to give me a lift to work.

Normally, tiny me in a van with 3 big guys I don’t know would be a nightmare, but they were so kind I could have wept with relief. I’ve hidden in their van chocolate bars with a thank you on a post-it note for them to find later.

My faith in people just skyrocketed

A group of men on their way to a construction site?? 😆 They weren't being "kind".

@NoThanksLeon just because you can’t fathom it, or aren’t capable of it, doesn’t mean others aren’t.

@AlchemyFox Dont be so naive. 😆 You think they would have stopped to help ME?

@NoThanksLeon not really dude. As a woman who worked construction with a bunch of dudes, I don’t dare pretend they’re all lazy or after something.

You’re just a dick.

@AlchemyFox Do you think they would have stopped to help me?

@NoThanksLeon what year were you born? You’ve forgotten how people used to help people. Must be a boomer.

So you’re a boomer??????? Right????????
