This stuff just doesn't happen, does it? Must be proof we live in a simulated universe
I just went through an hour of weirdness. Been talking about simulated universe so much lately that I think the simulator is having fun with me. In order of occurrence:
1. Decided to fix leaky Moen faucet at bathroom sink. Went to hardware store to find a replacement cartridge. Couldn't find it on the shelves so I asked a guy if they carried the product. He asked me what number it was but I had assumed they were all the same. He asked how old and I said 15 years. He told me he was making an educated guess and went to a drawer behind his kiosk and pulled out a cartridge, said it should work. No wonder I couldn't find it. Then to my surprise he said it was a warranty part and there was no charge. I can only assume there must have been a recall at one time and Moen decided to give replacements away.. I said to my wife when I returned to our car, 'that's strange....something for free" plus running into the right guy.
2. We leave hardware store and enter a drive through coffee shop line. We both order tea and a muffin, about $5. Get to the pay window and cashier tells me the guy in front of us had paid for our goods. Never saw who it was, just his arm when he reached for his order. Free cartridge followed by free snack. Too much
3. Drove to spot along Niagara River to enjoy our goodies and once finished I backed out of my parking place. It was then a guy who was walking his dog behind us informed me that one of my back up lights was out.
WTF? In less than an hour I received no less than three good deeds by unknown citizens. Plus it never cost me a cent. By the way the faucet cartridge was the correct one and works fine. Also helped there was an exact video of the replacement job on YouTube so I learned some new things.
Kind acts are such an infrequent happening these days that if I were to calculate the odds of three in less than hour I think they would be astronomical and about as weird as it can get.
