Has anyone done a good deed today?

[Hazel at the Hill]

I say hello to everyone too, with varying results.

Fellow runners smile back/say hi UNLESS they are 20/30 yr old lycra clad lovelies plugged into their ipod thingies. They ignore you - and are probably unaware of your presence. I'm surprised that they aren't mown down in traffic.

Dog walkers always say hello, and their dogs, and engage you in friendly conversation.

Cyclists generally say hello unless they look like Wiggo and are going at a zillion mph.

Older couples or walkers always say hello.

Young mums with kiddies/pushchairs not only don't say hello, but are generally 3 abreast taking up the entire bloody trail/road so that you have to say in a cheery voice 'excuse me, ladies!' in order to get by, and then they look at you as if you are a serial killer.

Odd coves who look a bit dodgy don't say hello, or are already in conversation with themselves.

Haha I might participate in this crazy hobby like action see how many I get

Who's starting the how many waves today thread

You did

[Sheneval]

I see waves all the time when I'm walking on the beach

[Seahorse]

I smile at people and wave at (and from) trains too. As VC indicates, it might make someone happy, even if they're just humouring you Dog walkers are the best though. In the few months that I've had Mabel I think I've talked to more random strangers than I had in the past ten years

[veggiechicken]

Just returned from my walk and my wave/chat tally is:-
2 men in cars because I ducked in to let them pass a parked car,
2 dog walkers (had a few words about dogs with one),
the next door neighbour who'd just come in from work.
= 5. I didn't see anyone else so 100% success rate

[bearded bloke]

Odd coves who ...... are already in conversation with themselves.

That ^^^ would be me then

[Sheneval]

That ^^^ would be me then

Join the queue

[darcyvuqua]

That ^^^ would be me then

As long as your not walking around in small circles when your talking I think you'll be ok

[Glutton4...]

I did a good deed last week; a chum who is struggling financially, now comes to work with me twice a week, as the daft bat confessed to enjoying pulling weeds! Now I have someone to talk to, which makes the time go faster. Win-Win!

Yesterday, I did a good deed also. Another chum's nag trod on a flint out on a ride, and was hopping around on three legs, so I went out and picked them up. But that was as much to drive the lorry, as anything else. Win-Win!

Yes, I've benefitted, I can't deny it - but I didn't do it for me!

Today? Er, no. Unless you count tip-toeing around like a church mouse so as to allow exhausted Hubby to sleep?

my good deed today was to SMILE

[jayjaybee]

Can I bask in reflective glory? Hubby mended elderly neighbour's hedge trimmer with the promise if he couldn't fix it he would trim their hedges for them. He also cut the public road verges (as he does all year) so the village looks tidy. We both took same neighbours rubbish to the dump for them.
Hubby does these things with no thought of reward, one of the reasons I love and respect him .....aaaahhh. don't tell him though

[Potstubsdustbins]

NO!!!!!!!!!!! but then I am a grumpy old bu**er.

Two I can think of. I have taken two assemblies in the last two weeks for a newly pregnant colleague who's suffering a bit.
The other one was to let the pushy woman who stood in front of me as I was choosing at the supermarket shelves take her time to pull various things off the shelf, put them back in the wrong place and choose something else, whilst I waited for her. Then I tidied the shelves!

[veggiechicken]

NO!!!!!!!!!!! but then I am a grumpy old bu**er.

You're not grumpy - you're luvly - and you're trying to do a good deed by advising a Grape about a water pump! I've seen you in action before - and you're the most helpful plumber I know ( and my brother's a plumber)

[maytreefrannie]

I told a man at the supermarket he could go ahead of me - he only had a carton of milk and the paper and I had a loaded basket. Does that count? It was such a little thing, and one that others have done for me countless times.
