Being Nice

The other day I nipped to get some petrol whilst on my dinner break at work. WOW SO INTERESTING.

Whilst I was getting my petrol I shared some awkward eye contact with the man who was filling his car up next to me. I mean, the fact that I'd parked so horrendously close to the petrol pump that it took me about 7 hours to actually squeeze out of my door is probably what made him look at me but anyway.

(Back to the story...)

After I'd paid and was about to attempt getting back in to my car he stopped me to tell me he liked my scarf. Now this clearly isn't the biggest or the best compliment in the world but the fact that he took his time to actually tell me really made me smile and brightened my day a little.

I think everyone should make the effort to give strangers compliments, I think it's really nice. Obviously not in some weird creepy way - but if you see someone with nice hair or something, tell them! They might be having an awful day and that may just cheer them up a little. (I feel like I'm preaching now)

Also, if anyone else is like me (which I hope for your own sake that you're not) I just assume that random people talking to me instantly means they're going to abduct me or they're joking and I look like a massive state but if they've taken time out of their day to compliment you, they probably are just being nice.

And finally - there is a difference between just simply being nice and flirting.
