Today I was the recipient of the greatest kindness. I was at an appointment at the hospital and I had parked in the parking lot where there are automated gates and a fee necessary to lift the gates. I was on my way out of the lot, anticipating that I would pay with cash when I discovered that the machine only took credit cards. Confused, I called the parking attendant through the little speaker on the machine and she informed that that in order to pay cash for parking I would have to use a machine that was back inside the building. By this point there was a line of cars behind me and therefore my attempts to backup were unsuccessful. I was in the process of getting out of the car to tell the driver behind me that I would need to back into the parking lot again when from inside the car emerged a gigantic safety bear, dressed in full attire, as if he were the fire safety bear I had been familiar with as a child. However, the closer he came to my car the more I realized he was actually a hospital volunteer bear, dressed in the issued vest and with the requisite name badge. The bear proceeded to tell me that he could use his volunteer tag, or more specifically the barcode on it, to get me out of the parking lot. He told me to get ready to drive away and not tell anyone, as he would be in a lot of trouble if anyone found out he was helping me. Without this kindness I would really have been in a situation! Thanks volunteer bear for your benevolent act! I won't tell anyone..hahaha!
