I really like this story. I don’t remember where I heard it.
A man looking to get away from the hectic life of the big city heads out to a small town to consider it for relocation.
He stops at the service station in town and asks the man tending the pump what type of people live in the town.
The attendant asked, “What are people like where you’re from?”
The man answered, “Pretty nasty. They are annoying, negative and constantly in my way.”
The attendant replied, “You’ll probably find people in this town much the same.”
Disappointed the man drove off.
A week later another man pulled into the same service station for the same reason and asked the same attendant the same question.
The attendant asked him also, “Well what are people like where you’re from?”
The man answered, “They are actually really sweet and kind. They are helpful and considerate of each other. I actually hate to have to leave.”
The attendant responded, “You’ll probably find the people here pretty much the same.”
Sometimes if you smell something funky, it’s you that needs a bath.
