Nonverbal Agreement
I witnesseÂd a situation at a convenience store where the peÂrson ahead of me accidentally droppeÂd a twenty-dollar bill while getting theÂir wallet. Another person in line also noticed this mishap. I decided to step forward and pick up the money with the inteÂntion of returning it to its rightful owner after they finished their transaction. I made my inteÂntions clear, and the other bystanders acknowledged their agreÂement. Unfortunately, before I could carry out my plan, the man unexpeÂctedly became agitateÂd and started shouting at the cashier because his preferred brand of merchandise was not available.
At that moment, I exchanged a glance with the fellow bystander, who expressed their approval with a grin and a nod. Ultimately, I used $20 to bear all the costs of my own as well as bystander’s purchases.
Win for the Nerds
As a lover of drama, I once found myself in quite a predicameÂnt. Running late for a rehearsal, I ended up with my arms full of bags. To make matters worse, there were no available parking spaces near the theatre, so I had to park outside the quad on my campus and walk over. As I approached the theÂater, I couldn’t help but notice a group of athleÂtes playfully throwing around a football nearby. Trying to maintain my balance amidst all my bags made me feel quite nerdy indeed.
While passing by a group of athleÂtes, a football unexpecteÂdly rolled towards me. With agility and precision, I skillfully kickeÂd it into the air and effortlessly caught it with my non-dominant hand despite carrying bags in both arms. After that, I casually tossed the ball back to them and continued my way, leaving them surprised. At that moment, I felt incredibly cool, unlike any other in my life.
