Here is a little excerpt from my day I like to call, The nicest mean little old lady I have ever met. I stood in line at the post office for a good while today surrounded by many patrons doing there mail routine. Many were just your regular type folk, going about their business all casual like, but this lady behind me was special. She looked like A cross between Large Marge and the mean Mob Boss lady from the Goonies. She had a crooked mouth and squinty eyes, and clearly hated everything about being at the post office. I came close to starting a conversation with her, but for the half a millisecond I looked in her devil eyes, the coldest chill went down my spine, and I knew it would not be a good idea. So we stood by each other for what seemed like eternity, in complete and terrifying silence. When I eventually got to the counter the post office person proceeded to put in all of my info for my packages, one of which was traveling over seas. This process always takes a whole lot of time, and because of this, I can tell that everyone at the post office now hates my guts. Not just the little old evil lady behind me who audibly breathes hatefulness caused by her reluctant inhaling and exhaling of her daily life. Several minutes later everything is good to go at the counter with my deliveries, and the post lady tells me my total. I swipe my card, but of course at this very moment all of their credit card machine systems had suddenly shut down! She looked up, apologized and said sorry but we can only take cash only now. Then made an announcement to everyone in line that the machines were down and it was cash only from here on out. Several people left grumbling, and others fumbled through their pockets and purses looking for some scratch. I looked up at her and said youve got to be joking right!?! I have no cash. (By this time I had been there nearly an hour.) She said I know it sucks, but there is nothing she could do and grabbed my packages and began to cancel out the order. I was feeling angry and defeated but then suddenly, this mean looking little old lady who had been standing behind me this entire time with the cruelest of scowls on her face says Ill take care of it, I have cash! My expression was blank and confused because I thought maybe I had misheard her and what she really said was, Move out of the way, I have cash! But then she continued and said Merry Christmas then paid for my deliveries. I thanked her over and over and told her she didnt have to do that, but she insisted. And also said that she is only nice to people once a year, and this year I was the lucky one. I couldnt believe it. It was a Christmas miracle! And it was awesome! I hope to pay her good deed forward soon. At times, people can be totally awesome. Even the scary ones. Merry Christmas
