A Breath of Fresh Air

Reaching the lobby floor, I got out of the elevator. There was a young man eager to board, as well as a woman fiddling with the contents of her purse, unaware that her ride up has arrived.

Instead of rushing in and hogging the elevator for himself, the young man held the door open and got the attention of the woman by asking, "Ma'am, are you going up?"

It warmed my heart watching such a chivalrous gesture. It was the kindest thing I've witnessed in days.
