I saved an elderly lady from being hit by a small bus. I don’t know if was “nice” because it seemed instinctual at the time.
About 11 years ago, I was standing on the corner of a street waiting for the “walk” light to come on. It was a known busy street in my city. This elderly lady, who looked to be in her late 70’s, was standing beside me. It had been a couple minutes at most when she stepped off the sidewalk into the street. I looked at the lights which were still “don’t walk” and saw a small transit bus coming. I just stepped out, grabbed her by the back of her overcoat, and yanked her back onto the side walk. At that very moment, the bus went by with one loud honk still sounding off. She turned around to look at me ..her eyes were wide.. then she looked at the street and the small bus that was down the road, turned back to me with kind eyes and said, in a strong clear voice, “Thank you” ..to which I then followed her across the street (to make sure she got across safely). And I went on my way as she started walking towards the main shopping mall up the slope.
And that was that :)
That’s the first memory that popped up when I saw this question; if you can believe it, I have more similar ones. I tend to be in the right place at the right time with things like this, it’s odd.
