When a good deed isn''t a good deed!

25 Mar 2009

Today, I found an elderly man at the bottom of the train station steps - breathing heavily and carrying loads of heavy shopping bags.
So, I said - let me take the bags up for you. I grabbed them, took them to the top an then came down to help the guy. Hooked my arm in his, chatting away and started helping him up.
All the time he'd making funny noises in his throat (think he was still a little out of breath) - I can't understand what he's saying so stop half way up the steps to let him calm down a bit and say clearly what's up!
He eventually managed to say "I've just come down these steps and didn't want to go back up" confused

:? :?
Have you ever thought you were doing something to help someone when in actually fact your doing the opposite?

I once chewed all the 'paint' off a pearl necklace cos I preferred them shiny redface

And I also polished an antique brass lampstand with brasso until it gleamed, taking off all the patina rolleyes

and the value

Was it you who helpfully put all my lacquered wooden bowls through the dishwasher too?

I was about 5 when I cleaned the necklace and 8 when I polished the lamp. I thought I was being helpful rolleyes

Didn't see any genies either sad

I don't bother doing anything helpful any more wink
