That one driver on 4th Ave who actually thanked me for existing in the bike lane
I was biking home on 4th Ave last Tuesday, and this guy in a sedan stopped way early at the cross street, way before the stop sign even. He rolled down his window and yelled "Hey, I see you, sorry about all the idiots!" and gave me a thumbs up. It was such a small moment (like 5 seconds total) but it stuck with me because normally drivers either ignore me or honk. Has anyone else had a random positive interaction with a driver that caught you off guard?

Love seeing those little kindness moments (they remind me most people are decent, just most of us forget to show it).

You ever just start your day grumpy and then someone does something small like hold the door or let you merge in traffic and it totally flips your mood? For me its been about making it a habit to be that person for others. I started small like just giving a genuine compliment to a coworker or picking up something someone dropped. It felt weird at first but now it just feels natural. The trick is you have to do it even when you dont feel like it because the good feeling comes after not before. Little stuff really does add up and it makes the whole day better for everyone involved.
