HELP

People often get lost in a big hospital. You see people staring at colour-coded diagrams while holding a piece of paper in their hand, you know they're trying to figure out their way. It's the same with the young black woman pushing a baby stroller. It's so obvious she's trying to find her way.

The cleaner decided to help. "Can I help you, miss?" he said pleasantly and ever so politely. His eyes brimming with kindness.

"Why do you ask that?," the woman retorted. "Do I look like I need help??!"

His defence mechanism activated, the cleaner said, "I was just trying to help. You don't need to talk to me that way."

This is why I never offer my help. Bitches can be so nasty.
