That woman on the 7:15 bus who handed me a pack of tissues when I sneezed 4 times in a row

Last Tuesday on the Route 42 bus into Portland, a complete stranger in the seat across from me just reached over and silently placed a Kleenex pack on my knee without saying a word, then went right back to her book, and I still think about that small kindness every time I ride that bus - have you ever had a random act of commuter kindness that stuck with you?

Glad it stuck with you but a pack of tissues is like a dollar. Kinda feels like we're putting this lady on a pedestal for doing the bare minimum.

Kinda sums up how society's standards for kindness have hit rock bottom tbh.

Is this where common courtesy is now considered going above and beyond?
