In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “The Kindness of Strangers.”
When was the last time a stranger did something particularly kind, generous, or selfless for you? Tell us what happened!
Many times as I commute to work, I, like so many other commuters, eye contact is avoided and never made. Seated across from me and one seat ahead, I noticed a young woman who appeared uncomfortable and looked unusual. She appeared to be a man dressed as a woman, as her looks drew the attention of other commuters.
When my stop was announced, I stood up, and immediately, the passenger behind me tapped my shoulder. The older gentleman in his seventies handed me my wallet that had fallen out of my rear pocket.
I was overwhelmed and delighted for his act of kindness. I shook his hand while repeatedly, thanking you for his honesty. He motioned for me to lean in closer as he whispered in my ear while pointing in the direction of the young woman I noticed earlier.
The older man said she was his 39-year-old son dressed as a woman. He was following his son around as part of a bet his son lost betting on the Super-Bowl. The son was to dress as a woman and ride the morning commuter train for two hours.
I laughed out loud, and the father asked me as I exited the train to ask his son for her number. I agreed and when I walked towards his son to ask for her number, she had a sorrowful scowl on her face and turned away. I exited the train and laughed all the way to work.
