The Laundromat

While doing my laundry today, I was witness to some true hateful hostility. Here is how it played out:

A man wanted to use a bin and approached a woman around the bins.

Man: Excuse me, are you using this?
Woman: WHAT??
Man: I was just wondering if you were using this.
Woman: STOP bothering me, i don't CARE.
Man: I was just trying to be polite

He walks away with obvious disgust, shaking his head wondering why being polite should illicitness an attitude like that. At this point I am smiling, completely amused that someone could be so, well, YUCKY.

Then the woman proceeds to say, "why the fuck is everyone so happy?" Then left with a humph.

I told the man that he shouldn't be discouraged and to continue to be nice to people, even if some react like assholes.

To the man: he made me smile! And it makes me happy when others are happy. Some people just really need to chill out and not take laundry or life too seriously.
