Tonight DH and I went out to eat at a local restaurant. Inside were 4 uniformed police officers enjoying their breaks. I don't know what came over me but I asked our waitress what their tab was and offered to pay it anonymously. $56 after tip later I feel rather foolish..........DH and I don't make much, and that money would have been used on one of our own bills...not that we'll get behind on them without the money, but it isn't like we have a lot of extra.
I know I did a good thing.....and Im sure the officers appreciated it....but why does it feel like I was a fool? Has anyone else ever done something good for someone else and then felt silly for doing it?
