Just had a nice “people are basically OK” moment. Reading on my balcony when a group of young dudes strolling through traffic circle accidentally drop a couple beers, which shatter on the brick. They’re about to keep going when I yell “guys, c’mon, kids play here.”
They’re immediately, unreservedly apologetic. I toss down a broom & dustpan, then walk down to join them & we make short work of the mess.
Had half expected a “fuck you,” tbh; nice to be reminded sometimes people just need a little nudge to do the decent thing.
