Southern Hospitality -
*Saying "Hi" to a perfect stranger....someone who looks down or depressed maybe.
*Stopping to see if someone with a flat tire or stalled car needs assistance.
*Opening the door for someone else before you step through.
*Actually entering through the doors marked "ENTER" and exit through the doors marked "EXIT".
*Letting pedestrians cross the street, rather than attempting to run them down.
*Stopping and asking someone for the time, and then talking to them for 10 minutes about absolutely nothing.
*Buying a jug of water, a bag of apples, and a sandwich for the poor old man, dressed in rags, sitting on the corner.
*Standing in line for a coffee and donut and hearing the person in front of you tell the cashier "Im ten cents short", and you take 10 cents out of your pocket and hand it to the cashier.
*Saying "Thank you" to the person who gave extra change to the cashier or opened a door for you, or let you get across the street without being run down.
*Buying a bunch of balloons and going to a childrens home and pass them out.
*Buying a bunch of carnations and going to an old folks home and pass them out.
*Checking on your neighbor, when you havent seen them for a day or two, especially if they are elderly or disabled.
*Letting animals get across the street without running them over.
*Running after a ball in the street, so a little kid doesnt have too.
Basically just doing something nice for someone else, just because....
I think you get the idea now.
Since the invasion of the yankees, its all the exact opposite now.
