common courtesy no longer common =D
By sgtswordfish on 12/05/2009
yes, one of those days i realized that there is one thing we have lost over time. courtesy seems to be one of the things that sets us human beings from animals probably because we care about each other in a very unique and special way.
although don't get me wrong i enjoy a worthy opponent i cannot stress enough that today i was more suprised than ever at how men seemed to have forgotten and the impact of being courteous to our fellow man. with that i start a chapter in the life of a swordfish =P
woke up and left for work only to find out that i had my schedule changed... as i head back home excited about my day off i get a phone call from a friend whom i have just recently been with for mothers day. she wanted my help but didn't specify what she needed only for me to be at a certain location at a certain time of the day. although i could have said now i was courteous enough to see what she needed only to find out it was time for her first tattoo =D
i'm personally not fond of any tattoo on my person but i've gotten to see some pretty awesome art plus it is part of human culture. in any case she wanted something for her 22nd birthday
(20:23:38) -[BS]RuneScript- *** [ URBAN ]: Definitions: 3 | "courtesy" 1. 1. courteous behaviour | 2. a polite speech or action, especially one required by convention. | 3. a thoughtful action or gesture.
anyhow i went thru the whole trouble of helping her select the tattoo similar to the one above. the funny thing was that after we had everything ready she freaked out because she was told by a friend via text that it was going to hurt badly. i took the bold decision to convince her otherwise. 1 hour and a half later she was happier with her tattoo. thus i took her out to lunch for being such a big girl.
as we left the tattoo place there was an old lady struggling with some items. i happened to automatically respond by offering to help and literally carrying her stuff to her store. next thing i know after she said thank you she gave me $50 and a hug. by which customers where staring and smiling. i felt great and my friend was proud.
at lunch there was a man who had trouble getting over a curb in his wheelchair so i lifted him and got him in front of me in line to eat lunch. i even offered to carry his tray to his table and wait for him which he declined but thanked me for being there when he needed it the most.
in times such as now and even in the future people sometimes forget that we need each other. it has become such a pain to make good deeds that we forget the difference a small deed can do. just taking a minute of your time can surely make a difference in someones life and you might get a reward right then or in the near future with a small gesture of thanks or a kiss
in which case. courtesy surely its the way to roll!

Nice! Keep it up.
I suggest not accepting the reward, afterwards.
It sounds stupid, but try it; You'll see what I mean.

Why should I believe you?
Once I accept help from you this is what you'll do
YOU'LL SIT ON ME
RIGHT ON MY LAP.

I tend not to be very courteous anymore. I've had some bad experiences with it so I guess you were just lucky.
I tend to ignore what goes on around me much nowadays. For a good friend I would go to extreme lengths to help out though.

Wow $50? I wouldn't decline that lol but it's great that at least some people still have some courtesy.

Being a nice guy has it's own rewards but what a nice bonus! 
By sgtswordfish on 13/05/2009

^ Owies.
Way to score 50 bucks. We in a recession. That's like food for a week. Some of us can't find jobs. I need to start aggressively assisting old women.
