Paying it forward

United States

I was on my way to the doctor today, and decided to hit a drive thru to grab some coffee. The car in front of me had a cutesy plate that basically translated into "Love to Give" and I thought, aw how nice. When I got to the window I was told the woman in the car ahead of me had paid for my coffee! I was also told that since I only had a coffee, she paid the ticket for the car behind me as well. What a pleasant and unexpected surprise! I've never had something like that happen before and it really made my day. Has anyone else ever had something similiar happen?

My husband and I like to do things like this for others. =) And we have had someone do this for us as well at times. It's awesome when it happens because it shows us good in this world DOES exist.

That is awesome! I might be hooked now, it really made my day and now I'd like to pay it forward myself. Next time I stop to get a coffee, I'll be the one paying for the guy behind me.
