Ratbastid... i completely agree
it's like what i said to the other parents at the bus stop... "that's just me"... i don't care whether or not she smiles back at me... i'll keep doing it regardless...
i thanked my mailman the other day and called him by name... my neighbor was a bit surprised and asked how i knew his name... huh? because i took the time to ask him his name... i see him everyday, why not say "Thanks Vincent, Have a great day!" when i see him?
I've often been accused of being "too nice"... i smile at everyone i meet on the street and say hello... i don't throw fits in the check-out at the grocery when the cashier is slow
(i figure she/he has enough stress at the moment and a bitching customer won't help the situation)... i try to be pleasant and respectful to everyone i come across...
it's like i always tell my kids... "Treat other people the way you would want them to treat you"... it's really not that hard.
