While running today, I came up behind a double-parked sport utility vehicle. A guy was unloading boxes from the side door. Between the open door and the boxes, there was no room to pass on the curb side of the vehicle.
I checked traffic on the street side of the SUV. I would need to time my attempt to pass so as not to risk being hit by an oncoming car. (Two taxicabs were approaching.)
The guy called out to me: "Sir! Sir!" He had closed his side door and motioned for me to pass on the curb side where I would be safe from the traffic.
I said, "Thank you!" as I ran past.
"Merry Christmas!" he called out cheerfully!
"Same to you!" I replied.
I do so enjoy encounters with thoughtful, caring people.
