The Kindness Of Teleporting Old Ladies
Having just spent Christmas in British Columbia with my family, I am waiting for my flight back to the UK and decide to buy a British Columbia keyring as a tacky souvenir. There are two old ladies behind me in the queue.
Me: “Would you like to go ahead of me? Looks like you’re stocking up on souvenirs!”
They are carrying loads of stuff.
Ladies: “Oooooh, that’s very kind of you, dear; we always get carried away!”
Me: “No problem at all!”
We engage in minor chit chat while we wait about Christmas and our families, etc. At this point, my flight is called.
Me: “Oh, d***, that’s my flight! Oh, well, my keys are heavy enough as it is; I’ll leave it.”
Ladies: “Safe flight, dear. Nice talking to you.”
Off I run to catch my flight. I’m sitting in my seat on the plane and there’s a tap on my shoulder.
Lady: “After our little exchange, we thought you deserved a souvenir.”
She handed me the keyring they had bought for me! I thanked her profusely; it made my day! I can’t work out how two old ladies managed to get on the plane before me, though.
