We are new to the area and I was trying to find our local post office. I got very frustrated because my husband kept telling me it's on our street just keep driving because he doesn't know the address. I have two kids in the car, I can't just keep driving and driving what is the landmark? HE wasn't sure. On my way back into our housing development, I see a neighbor approaching the gate. I flag him down to ask where the post office was, he began to tell me and mentioned it's hard to see because it's sort of hidden and I might pass it, he said hey, it's out of my way but, follow me, I will show you where it is.
WOW!!! This guy took time out of his day to show me where the post office was. No wonder, I missed this place, it really is hidden in the back and there's only one little sign that says US Postal Service. LOL.
He pointed to the building then made a uturn at the light and kept on going. I didn't get a chance to get his name or find out where he lived here in the development. I was very grateful and I'm planning to do something random and nice for the next opportunity that possibly comes my way.
p.s. Ok, I told my friend the story and she said what if he was crazy and led me somewhere else.
UMMMMMM!!!! thanks a lot. i'm totally freaked out now. i didn't even think of that but, she's right. you never know. i would like to believe there are still nice people in this world.

Take it for what it was an act of kindness, a good neighbor, because if we always see the negative gods work just wont get done, hope you are getting settled in your new home and new state
Thank God for angels when you need them. :)
What a nice deed.
I probably would not think anything about following him somewhere. I think our natural inclination is to trust folks, and in smaller communities you just don't think someone crazy is gonna take you somewhere and do something bad.
Yes, there sure are...and you are one of them! I just picked up my mail and my package was there. Thank you sooooo much, saves me a trip to the store tomorrow!
