I Helped An Elderly Gent Yesterday.

[icyfroth]

In the Supermarked. I was doing some fruit and veg shopping and noticed him struggling to open the produce bag. I've struggled with them before so I wondered if I should help him or would he feel I was being patronised.

As I walked past him I jokingly said, "you have to spit on it"! I always wet my thumb and index finger to open the bags.

We laughed and he went pretendy "ptui ptui" on the bag.

I went around and got some tomatoes and deliberated whether I should get the lemons from USA or limes from Aus.

When I looked up he was still patiently struggling with the bag.

I felt bad then about the flippant spit comment and said "can I help you"? He gave me the bag and I showed him how I lick my thumb and finger and the bag opened straight away! (It's not always that easy).

Anyway we had shared another laugh about it and went about our shopping.

I had to get the fruit and veg guy to help me with mine once.

Well, I for one would not mind catching some of Icys germs. They seem to give her a sense of humour, fairness and honesty.

I need some of the humour.

Icy knows very well what subject she posts about. I am always looking for the next thread she starts. Never a dull moment with Icy.

Kep it up, lovely Lady.

Cheers, Erica

What for bob? I'm surprised my posts lasted this long - I don't fit in with Grannie panties brigade and my opinion doesn't count apparently ROFL

Grannie panties???? You really are a little charmer are’t  you. You are the first person l’ve ever seen give someone a slap for doing a good deed.

Next time Icy - do a good deed and leave it at that. I'm sure your a very special kind person - you shouldn't need to persuade others to think that by this thread 🙂

who are you to tell others what they should do or can and cant.

I liked to hear the story as did many others.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion unless it's not agreed upon by the mob. I think she was looking for kudos for doing one good thing, Lordy, I can only hope she thinks she's not the norm - like I said before and keep saying, the thing she did today is what most people do everyday - like myself. I rescue children, pfft but that's just my job - I don't look for a shout out. Merry Christmas
