Kind or Crazy?

What would you think if a large, scary man, began to chase your car and yell at the top of his lungs? KEEP DRIVING? Cause that was my thought. 

Driving home from a long day at my internship in West Hollywood, where it’s not too rare to run into some odd situations, a rather ragged looking man on the side walk began flailing his arms, yelling, and chasing my car. I tried to ignore him and attempt to move through the next few green lights. L.A. traffic prevented this. Out of breath the man came up to my passenger window. I struggled to role my window up. But, before I could grab a hold of the controls he got to the window and put his hand on the door. I’m frozen, petrified. 

He quickly ameliorates my feeling of terror and replaces it with relief and gratitude. 

“your jacket is on the roof of your car.”  He said. 

And with that he turned and continued on his way. 

I put my car in park and quickly grabbed my jacket before the light turned green. 

I yelled after him “Thank you!” He turned and smiled then was quickly engulfed by the sea of pedestrians. 

What a wonderful person. He went out of his way for a complete stranger. It also happened to be my favorite jacket. Thank you, where ever you are.
