The Alien went 1 for 2 today.As you know, I have written a book on how to be a free thinker and all of the benefits. The premise is that most people are humans and follow along the rules without questioning things and the aliens watching would be scratching their heads in disbelief.  I had two interactions today and one worked out great and the other, well, not so much.
The GoodI was getting my car vacuumed at an unattended car wash and after the time ran out of the machine, I inserted another dollar’s worth of quarters to finish the cleaning.  The machine never started.  I saw a phone number on the vacuum and so I decided to call to make them aware.  The phone number linked to the owner’s cell phone and he apologized for the problems and told me that someone will be over shortly to refund my dollar.  I told him that it was fine, but I was more interested in letting him know about this so it did not happen to others.  He was impressed with my free thinking compassion; he offered me a code to get a free top of the line car wash valued at $14.  Cha-ching
The BadAfter feeling good about my success and the aliens smiling down on me, I went food shopping.  An older woman was checking out and having a conversation with the worker.Woman: “I need three packs of Marlboro Lights please”Man: “I thought Henry already got you your smokes”
Woman: “No, he forgot.”Man: “No worries, I will take care of you.”

I decided to chime in this conversation. “Sir, if you really want to take care of this woman, you would encourage her to stop smoking.”Man: “Would you mind going to a different check-out line.”
Moral: Not everyone appreciates me or my free thinking thoughts.
