call HART crazy .. but

When I first watched that show .. I knew it would be a hit for many reasons … because I think the basic concept .. “Karma” .. is a great one .. What a great concept – if we do nice things, nice things will happen to you. If only that were true!

But – wait – My name is HART ..

The other day .. I was at a restaurant, and there was a person, on crutches who reached the door first, and began to hold the door for me. I thanked him, and walked through the door. Then, after I went through, I asked him if I can hold the door for him! He said it wasn’t necessary, but fumbled a bit, then said . “UH SURE, THANKS” .. So I held the door open and he walked through it.

Well, so did a family of about 20 and 6 more customers. Here I was holding the door for half the restaurant .. and, after they left, there even was a couple who were coming into the restaurant and jokingly asked … “ARE YOU THE NEW DOORMAN?” .. I laughed and said “YES I AM” .. and they went in .,.. and then I left.

The person I was with – mentioned to me … “THAT’s WHAT YOU GET FOR HOLDING THE DOOR OPEN FOR PEOPLE!”

Well .. today, I went to fill my gas tank (ouch $50.00) and left to meet my wife for shopping and dinner. I was at a corner where it is a 3-way stop sign, and about 15 cars in the line-up around rush hour. In my rear view mirror, I notice this person .. running after my car waving his hands frantically! I was inching forward, and every time I did he kept chasing my car it seemed. I turned down my stereo and rolled down my window and as soon as I turned my head – I saw the reason why he was chasing me.

It seems I forgot to close the gas cover after I filled up at the gas station, and it was sticking outwards all the way open. It seemed he was the passenger in the car behind me, noticed this, and jumped out to try to close it for me! I said “THANK-YOU VERY MUCH”!! And I waved the thanks to him and the driver (I suppose his wife) for thinking of me and helping out.

Karma?

My friend said .. “THAT’s WHAT YOU GET FOR HOLDING THE DOOR OPEN FOR PEOPLE!”

EXACTLY!
