I went out to the convenient shop right opposite my friend's house with him to get some ice-cream. We ended up with ice-cream, potato chips, pork salami, milk & some crackers.
The problem is: we are 2 pounds short from the total bill. While we're in the midst of struggling which item to 'sacrifice' (I was actually thinking of taking out the pork salami) or to run back & grab cash, a lady in the queue right behind me told the cashier that she'll pay for the rest.
Feeling absolutely touched & grateful, I thanked her more than a dozen times. She said I mustn't go back without my 'peperami'. Isn't the world wonderful with kind people like this? This is the first time (and most probably the only time) that I am caught in such situation & meet one of the kindest person in the world who makes my day :)

Moral of the story: never go out without cell phones/enough cash unless you're as lucky as me :)

Just recall that I have been lucky in Denmark under similar circumstances as well. Parked in a car park which only accept 20DKK coins / a Danish ATM card and was stucked because I don't have either of them. Then a kind lady helped to slot in a 20DKK coin & rescue me out from the carpark :D --added 1-Aug-08
