Gentleman at Safeway

Yesterday, was the weekly shopping day. Being a Sunday, I dressed up a little more than I might have any other day. I was wearing a charcoal gray skirt that hit just below the knee and similarly colored top with faux jacket and light grey patterned front and long black coat. My make up was simple; true brown mascara and lipstick.

I was in the cereal aisle and attempted to pick up two Quaker Simply Granola in one hand.

The boxes didn't stand the strain and clasped. Granola is a heavy cereal. I managed to catch one and the other fell on the floor. As I went bend down to pick it up, a late thirties/early forties gentleman rushed over and signaled me not to bend over. He bent down, pick up the box and handed it to me.

I was astonished. I managed to mumble a thank you and we went on our separate ways. I guess that chivalry is not dead after all and heroic knights no longer ride white chargers.
