Subway Cutter Redeemed

Spotted: Borough Hall subway station & Bronx-bound 4 train, Saturday 9:30 a.m.

Young woman rushes in front of the only two other people standing at the door to the subway car (an old couple) and takes the last seat on the train. Five stops later, our standing old couple has left the train and an old woman carrying a large bouquet of flowers enters. It's immediately clear that she is having trouble standing and would greatly benefit from a seat.

In a moment of karmic redemption, our young subway cutter politely catches the woman's attention and offers up her seat, which the woman accepts. Karma has a way of thanking those who do good unto others: the very next stop, a seat opens up and our new heroine has received her cosmic reward.
