Ridin in Style...

I forgot to tell you this little bit!

A few weeks ago, one of the days when it was right about 0 degrees out, I was walking to the train to get to work. Usually, it takes about 45 minutes and it costs me $2.00. When I got to the corner, I realized I only had grabbed $1.00, so I decided (conveniently, seeing as it was so cold out) to just hop in a taxi and charge it to my credit card. (Almost all taxis accept credit cards.)

On this particular day, I was waiting for about 10 minutes (which is long), when a limo pulled up next to me. The driver asked where I was going, and told me he would charge me the regular fee of a taxi. NICE! I hopped it, but then asked him to pull back over because I forgot I had only been taking the taxi because I needed to use a credit card, which I'm sure he didn't.

He told me no worries, it was too cold out to be standing on the corner in this weather, and to have a nice holiday. This was a few days before Christmas.

I did take down his address so I could send him a 'thank you'. I'm continuously amazed at people's generosity, I think it is completely rejuvenating.
