Not so much a sighting, but a reaction from someone I helped today which stopped me in my tracks at how sucky some people must be.
I was at the supermarket, it was busy.I went to get a trolley and passed an elderly gentleman who was walking slowly with a cane in the direction of the trolleys.
So i took a trolley and walked back a few paces to him, smiled, and said "here, would you like this trolley?", before returning to get one for myself.
I thought that a perfectly normal thing to do.But his reaction floored me.His whole face lit up and he said "why bless you young lady that is so thoughtfull"
It just made me wonder if he had been shoved out of the way or struggled with getting a trolley on other occassions and people had not helped him.
