Nice girl

Today, at the grocery store, an elderly woman asked for help with some tea. I lent her a hand, spending a good twenty minutes reading different labels out loud until she found one she liked. After she was done, she handed me a pamphlet and said, "You're a nice girl. I hope you don't go to hell." FML

Today, at the supermarket, an old lady asked for directions to the produce aisle. Having read way too many stories lately on this very site about awful elderly folks, I was wary, but helped her out. She gave me an awkward hug in thanks, lifting my wallet in the process, as I later found out. FML

Today, an elderly woman couldn't afford all of her groceries at the checkout so she started to take out a few things. I offered to pay for her groceries; she thanked me and walked out. An onlooker then came up to me and told me that she does it to someone every week. FML

Today, I was working at my job as a cashier, checking out an elderly woman's groceries. She was very nice, and we chatted for a couple minutes. Once she had paid, she leaned close to me and said, very politely, "I'm so so sorry that I mistook you for a girl at first, young man." I AM a girl. FML

Today, on my way out of the subway station, I noticed an older woman standing at the bottom of a flight of stairs with a large cart. I went up to her and asked if she needed help getting it up the stairs. She looks me up and down and says, "No, not from you." FML

She was just looking out for you OP! At least she didn't call you ugly like most FML old people would.

better than the old ladies that damn you to hell and was nice to just give you a pamphlet rather than try to push her beliefs on you.

Well, she didn't tell you to go to hell, that's something.

At least she wasn't as rude as some of the other old people on FML. She could've been worse and given you a religion lecture. And she essentially meant good and recognized you as a really nice person.

I believe that JW don't believe in "hell". If you're not one of the anointed ones to resurrect and live on the new Earth, you just stop existing.

When I'm old I'm going to hand out pamphlets to people and say "I hope you don't believe in the fairytales called religion." I'd also like to point out that the Pope said that even if you don't believe in God that you can still get into heaven if you live a moral life.
