It's a good thing i curled my eyelashes this morning!
Pulled in to Dutch Bros. this morning all excited because i had a full punch card and therefore, a free drink due me. When it was my turn at the window the Coffee Boy said "Hello, sweetheart", to which i replied "i get a free one this morning!" proudly displaying my full punch card like an A+ spelling test. "That's right," he said, "you get THIS free one!" and held up another full punch card. i was confused. i communicated my confusion, probably through a blank look or something equally glamorous, and he said that the man in the car front of me had told him that i could have HIS free drink. Now, i'm not sure i believe Coffee Boy, because he seemed like a flirtatious liar, but i decided that it was a win-win situation for me. Either a stranger bought me a drink or an unscrupulous barista bought me a drink. All's well that ends well, right?
In hindsight, i realize that i should have handed my own full punch card over to Coffee Boy and told him to apply it to the person in line behind ME, thereby 'paying it forward', but i was all a-flutter and not thinking clearly.
Next time, karma, i promise.

Gem of the Moment
"The elevator, which had haunted its untidy shaft for a hundred years, came wafting skyward, dragging its ungodly chains and dread intestines after. The door exhaled open. The lift groaned as if we had trod its stomach. In a great protestation of ennui, the ghost sank back toward earth." -Green Shadows, White Whale
