Nice People

Nice Person #1: A couple days ago, I was in a bathroom at school, and realized too late that there was no toilet paper in my stall...so I fumbled around and debated my next course of action for a while. There was a person outside washing her hands, but I was too shy to ask a complete stranger to hand me toilet paper...I thought I'd just figure something out after she left. But all of a sudden, she asked me, "Hey, do you need some toilet paper?" She must have noticed earlier that my stall had no toilet paper, or maybe she heard me rummaging around. Either way, it was so nice of her! She could have easily just walked out and felt no guilt/awareness whatsoever.
Nice Person #2: Just now I was home alone, sitting in my room eating Wheat Thins and watching The Nanny when I heard a knock on the door. I was almost too lazy to go answer it, but finally I did, and it turned out to be a complete stranger, someone who lives in our building and whom I've seen on the bus now and then. She was knocking to tell me that I had left my keys stuck in the door knob. First of all, wow I'm stupid, but second of all, that was so nice!! Again, she could have easily walked by and ignored it or not noticed it at all. Instead, she chose to knock on my door and wait at least 30 seconds for me to answer the door, just to help someone she'd never met before.
I love nice people. :)
