He really did call me a comfort-class ride to my doorstep and even took my number to check if I got home safely. Looks like we might have a second date, only not on the bus.
I try to stay closer to the streetlights.
I see a man ahead of me. I sneak behind him to avoid drawing attention.
I’m not sure if I should be afraid of him or, on the contrary, see him as my protector.
Then he suddenly turns around and says, “Miss, I can hear your fear by the sound of your heels. Walk beside me, let’s be scared together.” Almost 30 years have passed, and I still remember this kind man. © Irina
We kept running into each other in the same cities, at the same sports classes, we even went to the same club of interests.
But we truly met when we ended up in neighboring seats on the bus and realized we couldn’t walk away without introducing ourselves. Hey, fate, you won!
We’re together!
- This year, I started working as a school teacher. I’ve always been proud of my excellent memory for faces and names.
It never occurred to me that I could mix up 2 different people. But now…
I can’t recognize or distinguish my female students from the 9th to 11th grades.They all seem to blend into one face: the same dress, similar makeup, hairstyles, even eyebrows. For me, they have become indistinguishable.
However, I don’t have problems with distinguishing my male or younger students.I have to pretend to be very strict and call them out only by the roll book.
- I work as a taxi driver. I pull up at the shopping mall to pick up a customer. A woman around 35 comes out with a bunch of bags and gets in the car.
We set off.
5 minutes later, she suddenly yells out. I got scared and asked:
— What’s wrong?
— I completely forgot: I came here in my own car.Take me back quickly!
I took her back, helped her find her car in the parking lot, she got in and drove off. - I’m lying down asleep, and through the dream, I hear the sound of a cat’s purring. I feel that something is lying on my chest. At that time, we were staying with my husband’s parents, and they had no cats.
I got scared, couldn’t even open my eyes.
Eventually, I decided to overcome my fear and did indeed discover a kitten! It turned out my husband had bought his mom a kitten but forgot to tell me about it.He left for work at night and didn’t wake me.
- I decided to take a ride on my bike in the park. I fell, bam, and broke my arm. That’s when the real heroes came to the rescue.
First, some woman came up and helped me get up. A guy on rollerblades rolled over, saw my predicament, and offered to take me to the nearest emergency room on my bike. Just like that, on my bike!
In the end, at the emergency room, they put a cast on my arm, and these kind people waited to make sure I was okay. They even walked me home!
I realized one thing — the world is full of amazing, kind people who are always ready to help.Yes, my arm is broken, but my heart is filled with gratitude and warmth.
- I was going up the escalator and really wanted to yawn, but my hands were busy. Well, I just had to, so I yawned without covering my mouth. Then I saw a guy descending, yawning as well, looking at me.
And I was looking at him.
So we traveled like that, staring at each other for a couple of seconds with our mouths wide open. Then I burst into laughter and turned away, breaking that wonderful magic. - I’m on a date, and everything seems to be going smoothly.
The girl runs off to the restroom to “powder her nose.” I’m scrolling on my phone mindlessly, and suddenly a stranger sits down next to me.
She grabs my hand and says, “Dude, run! That chick was recording a voice message to her friend saying you’re boring, live with parents, and even ordered her a lame salad.” I’m sitting there, processing the information.Then my date returns, all radiant. I stand up, toss down money just for my coffee, and say, “Sorry for being too boring for you.” And I leave.
My savior caught up with me on the street a minute later.We’ve been inseparable ever since — it’s been a year together now.
And here are more stories with a twist that will keep you guessing till the end.
