I was pumping gas, minding my own business (I always like to throw that in there in case people forget that I do not go looking for these situations), and I noticed this homeless guy in a wheel chair who had lost both of his legs from the knee down. He rolls over to me and asks for some spare change, and then makes his way back over to the gas station attendant. The attendant seemed a little too chipper for someone who was emptying trash cans at a gas station. She was making small talk with the homeless guy, and when he decided to leave, he said goodbye to her and she said "See you later. And remember, God is great". Everyone at the gas station, including the homeless guy, just stopped and stared at her. Did she really just say "God is great" to a leg/home-less guy? I couldn't believe my ears. I've been in a state of annoyance ever since.
