Once in a while, my daughter and I commit what we call "random acts of Tim-ness". When we're going through a drive-through, I give the TimPerson three to five dollars more than I need for our coffees, and tell them to use it to pay for the coffees in the car behind us. We get a big kick out of imagining the surprise of the person who got a free coffee. Once we did it at one of highway 401's service stations. I thought I could get away quick, and paid the TimPerson $5.00 more for the extra coffee and ran to my car with mine. But the dogs needed a break and we didn't get away quick enough, the man whom I'd treated to coffee was parked right next to us!!! He had the biggest smile on his face and was yelling "thank you" loudly as he approached us. We made is day and that made ours!
