Hmm, so today I was running a few minutes late to my pt appointment so I was walking a bit fast. Out of nowhere, this lady stopped me and asked me a question. I had my headphone on so I didn't hear her at first. Then she repeated herself and said "I'm really embarrassed, but do you have an unlimited metrocard to swipe me in? I don't have a metrocard." My first instinct was to point her towards the metrocard machines and tell her to get one. But when I looked at her, I saw that she seemed a bit ruffled up, her hair was messy but not too messy and she had a cap on. She had a whole bunch of bags with her, most were plastic and looked extremely heavy. She had a luggage sticker from the airport taped to one of her shopping bags and it just seemed like she needed a little love. I told her that I didn't have an unlimited metrocard but I had a cash one so I could swipe her in. She said "thank you" a couple times, smiled and then started carrying all her bags. She was holding all her bags (which was a total of about four) trying to walk through the turnstile but the turnstile wouldn't turn. So she put two bags down, walked through and turned around to get the other two bags. Since I was right there, I reached down for the bags (boy, where they heavy!) and gave them to her over the turnstile and she thanked me and smiled again. :)then I went on my merry little way to my pt appointment.
