pay it forward
I was walking to the tube station after studying late in the library with 2/5th's of The Set, to get the tube home and get more studying done. As I walked in, I noted that all of the ticket machines were closed down and that I would have to stand in the queue to get my ticket home.
As I walked up to the queue, a girl, who had recently disembarked from the train herself, came up to me, held her ticket out to me and said 'Discovery Ticket?'*
I said, 'Thanks!', went through the Turnstiles of Death, and got on my train.
When I disembarked, I saw a man walking up to the queue to buy his ticket, so I walked up to him, held out the ticket that had been given to me and said, 'Discovery Ticket?' and he said, 'Cheers!'
Give a little.
Take a little.
It's all about karma in this little theatre production we call 'life'.

Maybe the Turnstyles of Death will see what a wonderful person you are and leave you alone now. :)

And ditto to Dusty's comment.
