Sacramento, CA - Told where I can put my do-gooderness

On Thursday August 20th, 2009 at 1:11 pm I was crossing a street in Sacramento, CA when I noticed that the gentleman walking in front of me in the cross walk (who was carrying a bundle of paperwork) dropped a couple of business cards and a sticky note. I called after him a couple of times, but he was wearing earbuds/phones and couldn't hear me. . . Instead, as the light changed from green to yellow, I stooped over to pick them up and then jogged after him and tapped him on the shoulder and returned them. He mumbled an appreciative comment that I didn't quite catch, and then was off. . . I then turned and began to walk the other direction towards where I was headed, when I realized that two young women had witnessed the entire interaction. . . As I passed them, one of them, with a sneer on her face, and a haughty glance nasally whined, "Well, aren't you a good samaritan.". . . I replied that now I didn't have to be nice to anyone else today. . . and walked off.
