Yesterday I was walking down to bart and this lady was struggling with her suitcase as abled bodied men passed her by.
I couldn't stand it, so I offered to carry the suitcase up. As I grabbed the suitcase the woman said careful it is heav...oh. Yes it was not heavy, in fact it probably weighed as much as my backpack, but I smiled at her and bounded up the stairs.
I got to the top and she is standing there with shock in her eyes as I look at her. I am thinking gee she thinks I am superwoman, but she says quietly, I am going down. I laughed and brought it back down the stairs thinking why she didn't use the escalator only now realizing it was an up escalator.
Poor woman probably thought her visit was going to be marred by this big old woman stealing her suitcase. I am sure I think it is funnier then she does.

Great story - you didn't tell me about it yesterday. Was it a nice suitcase?
