I helped a stranger with directions three years ago. He still thanks me every time we meet.
I was just standing around three years ago when a man stopped his car and asked me how to get to the supermarket in our town.
I told him which way to go to get there quickly.
He was happy. He drove away.
I did not think I would see him again.
That is not what happened.
We have seen each other a lot of times since then.
Every time we meet he points at me. Says
Still the best directions I've ever gotten.
The thing is, I do not know what his name is.
Now things are a weird.
When I see him from away I have to decide if I should say hello or look at something else.
Week he told his wife that I am the person who helped him when he was lost.
All I did was tell him to turn left at a traffic light.
I have done more to help people and they do not even remember my name.
Has this happened to anyone where you do a small favor and people still talk about it?
