Sometimes keeping calm pays off in unexpected ways.
One day last year my good lady texted me to say she was stuck at work and could I call in at the supermarket to pick up something quick for dinner.
On my way home I called in at the supermarket and grabbed something quick and tasty in a hand basket. Making my way to the only open check out a lady with a mountainous trolley barged in front of me. I said and did nothing, just bided my time, I was in no rush.
A positively beautiful young lady was immediately behind me and she voiced her anger at what had happened. I explained I was in no rush at all and besides, the mountainous trolley woman had given me the opportunity to exchange a few pleasant moments conversation with a lovely young lady - therefore I was in fact the benefactor of the other lady's greed.
While I was placing my purchases in the car the young lady came up and planted a kiss on my cheek and said - "Thank you, I've learned a lot tonight" turned and walked away.
She may have learned something but I felt really good.
