I too have seen these kinda people doing their bit to this wide weird world. I have seen more such examples. One old man used to regularly take a group of school children to school in the mornings and back home in the afternoon. School distance was about 1.5 kms. So, walking that distance was an ok option. Occasionally, he used to lift smaller children on his arms and walk the distance. All this for nothing. Just because he liked spending time with children. Like Ramses mentions, I have also directed traffic as a 2 hours assignment during school days. But it was in assistance to the traffic inspector. On other hand - being a Traffic Inspector can be one of the most thankless jobs...the requirement to stand there under the hot sun, pouring rain etc and direct mindless drivers who inevitably break the rules and the pollution, dust and grime all around you. Not to forget all the choicest expletives that they bear at the hands of the drivers sitting in plush cars with air conditioners and having few lakhs as pay packets. mmm.. fun apart… I too have seen these kinda people doing their bit to this wide weird world.
