While sleepily riding the pole into Manhattan I heard sneezing through my earphones — petite, surprised sneezes that I thought were a woman’s. At the next stop I opened my eyes out of courtesy for those getting off then on the train and saw a man sitting in the seat next to the door trying his very hardest not to sneeze anymore. One got away from him and I stared politely (there is such a thing) to see if he had a tissue; he did, but it was the most pathetic, busted ass tissue I’d seen in a while, used about 20 times too many, and a long string of nose glop stuck between his nose and his hand. I started quietly giggling and reached into my bag. As the train came to a stop I walked over to the man whose eyes were closed, tapped him on the arm, and handed over my package of travel-sized tissues. He nodded and took the package then I hopped off the train, my 7 Ave / 53 St stop.
I am the angel of tissues. 
Awww… so sweet!
You, my friend, are awesome.
You had me at “While sleepily riding the pole”.
The Angel of Tissues… he’ll be telling the story for weeks.
But now you are WITHOUT TISSUES! OMG! Truly, you ARE an angel to make such a sacrifice! That’s our Poppy.
And by doing so you prevented the spread of swine flu in our fair city.
Thank you, oh Angel of Tissues. Thank you.
Thank GOD for people like you.
Such a sweet little poppy, you are!
I wanted to make a swine flu joke in here somewhere, but really, you are too kind.
To paraphrase an old Army commercial: You do more good deeds before 9 a.m. than most people do all day.
Your kindness will not go unrewarded. However, quick wash your hands in clorox and gargle with vodka – protect yourself from the pig flu!
Yes !! If you start sneezing bacon bits, rush to the ER !
That just makes everybody happy!
I think everyone who has been in this poor man’s situation knows the truly grand value of a good deed like this.
You probably delayed mass infection in your area by a good 28-34 hours.
I’m sorry. I didn’t get past the part where you were riding a pole. Now my brain is stuck. ;D
