A Little Piece of Karma
February 14th 2007 11:26
I don’t really believe in kama unless it transpires between two knowing humans.
Um. Like this…
I was at work yesterday, in Westfields shopping centre, and I was just doing my thing, at work, and these two girls come in with big backpacks on and one of them goes, “Hi, this might be a really weird question but Westfields doesn’t have any storage facilities and we were wondering if we could give you some money to hold our bags for a few hours while we go shopping”.
“Er…” I look at the bags, “I won’t take any money and I won’t take responsibility for them but yeah I’ll put ‘em under our tables if you want?”
They’re heaps chuffed and stuff and they chuck their bags under the table and out of sight. I promptly forget about the whole thing and go back to work.
A few hours go by and the girl I spoke to pokes her head around the back where I am working and holds out $10 for me, “I just wanna say thanks for holding our bags and here’s some money for you”.
“Oh you don’t need to give me any of that, don’t worry about it”
“No, no, seriously, take it”
“Nah, don’t worry about it” (I start feeling embarrassed)
“No really, buy yourself some lunch or something , it’s not often you come across an honest person in the city. We really appreciate it”.
So I take the money and I feel good at the same time.
It was only a small incident but I liked it all the same.
