I recently
had to go to a part of town that I don't know well for a business lunch. Even after Mapquesting the address, I was
still unsure about where I was going, so I called a friend to help me get
there. As always, he was very kind and
patient, and spoke to me until I reached my destination.
When I
arrived, there was what looked like a parking space in front of the restaurant,
so I parked there. I went inside the
restaurant to check whether it was indeed a space and where I had to get the
ticket to pay for the parking. One of
the waiters very kindly went outside with me to see where I had parked and then
directed me to the ticket machine across the street.
After lunch,
as I was trying to back out of the parking space, my rear sensors indicated
that there was something behind the car even though the car parked behind me
seemed quite a distance away. I got out
of my car to check and found a large trash can, which a cleaning person seemed
to have left there. As I went to move
it, the cleaning man walked out of one of the restaurants and quickly moved it
for me. He then directed me out of the
parking space.
As I left the
area, I thought how nice it had been to find so much kindness on my way to and
then in a place I hadn't been before.
