Random Encounter

So I ran into an ex-boss(Who will remain nameless) in Walmart that fired me way back in the day for no reason. I didn't mention it; just asked her how she was, exchanged a few pleasantries then parted ways. Her husband tracked me down and asked were they hiring at my job. I'm no asshole, so I gave him my boss's number with instructions to get the job/interview. His wife comes back mentioning that I left the job we both worked at. I corrected her mentioning that she fired me. She seemed to have forgotten so I gave every detail. I think her husband was a bit embarrassed after that. I mentioned that I was fine shortly after because I had begun to manage at Domino's getting twice the salary and hours. I guess what I'm trying to say is, be kind to people because you never know when you'll need their help. Even if you'll never need their help, being nice is just the right thing to do. If it wasn't me, another person would've told her husband to go f*ck himself. But he will probably now be starting a new job in a few days. I didn't deserve to get fired back then, but it still ended up being a good thing because I would've wasted more of my life there. So I guess people should also be grateful for good and bad experiences because it'll help you evolve as a person if you survive.
