It pays to be nice to everyone ...
This morning, I got pulled over by a policeman for going 35mph in a school zone. To my horror, this police officer was the same one that pulled me over earlier this year for having an expired inspection sticker on my car. He let me off last time with a "warning ticket". Would he be so kind this time? He remembered that incident. He said, "I was very nice to you earlier this year wasn't I?" I smiled and said "Yes, Stephen, you were very nice and I did appreciate only getting a warning ticket. See... (as I pointed) I did get my inspection sticker renewed." I ended up getting another "warning ticket" for this speeding incident. See... I knew Stephen when we were together in elementary and high school. I was always nice and polite to him as we were in many Honor classes together. He asked if I was doing "all right". I knew I was out the speeding ticket. I replied with a smile and said "I am doing fine." Ahhhh... it always pays to be nice to everyone. Even in your childhood.

amazing.... and it never pays to be mean either... never.
I always try to be nice to everyone too, always have. And yet some people still don't seem to understand that process?
Karma, it's more than just for breakfast.
It also pays to be good looking and have a great smile :-)
It's called Karma! *G*
Yes - being nice is the best thing you can do - life has a way of bringing balance -
someone told me today that I am the nicest person they've ever known. who knew?? :)
I always try to be super super nice when I get pulled over and I STILL Get a ticket. IT is Indiana's way of financing the counties. AFter you get a ticket, you get a letter in the mail for deferral. Pay the county double the ticket and basically the ticket gets ripped up and not turned in on your insurance. IT is a HUGE racket and they have seen my money in several counties...lol
It really does pay off to be nice to everyone... because you never know when your past may re-visit you.... or possibly word may get around of your reputation, and you never know who you may come across that will know more of you than you know of them =).
Being nice is always great.
But it's even nicer to be in a small town and have everyone know you're the doc :) Hardly ever get speeding fines.

I'm Canadian, I'm always nice. It's in our rule book. LOL
I've never gotten a ticket but then I've never been pulled over either.
