Help! (T.G.E. - Part 14 of 40)

The Escape Plan

I have been asked by Kim and Jason to take part in their Adultitis Escape Plan, a 40-day plan to become more childlike (not childish)
and to reduce stress and prevent dullness, depression and [insert
another word beginning with 'd' here]. Of course I’m gonna do it.

Dreary-ness, that begins with ‘D’.


The fourteenth task: Do something to help someone you don’t know.

Normally I’m a pretty helpful guy (in my own, humble opinion). I help old ladies carry stuff, I help mums with prams up the stairs, I give up my seat when the train is full.

Yesterday though, no dice. No old people needing stuff carried. No mums with prams (except in the rain). Plenty of seats on the train.

I thought I wasn’t going to be able to accomplish this, when a lady sitting opposite me got up, leaving her jumper behind.

I gave it back to her.

Mission accomplished. Lamely.

RodeoClown: couldn’t find anybody to help.

don’t pass it off for anything else….for all you know that oculd have been the woman’s fave jumper and she feels a lifetime of gratitude towards you for reinstating the jumper to her care….
