T Minus 7 Days

T minus 7 Day, Tuesday, August 7, 2012: "Random Act of Kindness"

I've done something similar to this before but a friend recently posted on Facebook that she was on the receiving end of someone doing this and it was awesome. So, I decided to do it again.

A good sign that I'm getting old is that I've recently taken a liking to coffee. If you've known me for a while, or ever were around me in the morning, you know I've never been a coffee drinker. That's changed in the last three weeks. I can't even say it was a gradual change. I had some one morning with some friends and loved it. I think since that day about three weeks ago, I've only not had coffee about four or five of those days. Crazy, I know.

Anyhow, I was on my way to work and stopped at Starbucks for an iced coffee (my favorite way to drink it) and decided to pay for the car behind me. The guy at the window asked if I knew them or if I was just being a "creeper" I laughed and told him I was just being a creeper. Then, he told me their bill was $18!! What the hell?! At that point, it's not like I can back-out. That wouldn't be very creeper-ish of me! But, that's a lot of Starbucks! Ideally, that means that more than one person was able to enjoy a free coffee this afternoon... And hopefully, more than one person will be willing to pay that little joyful moment forward to someone else. Because if not, this creeper is out $18 for no reason...
