This past Thursday evening, the parking lot was quite busy as shoppers were buying their Shabbos needs. Cars were trying to negotiate around shopping carts left in the middle of the lot by inconsiderate buyers who couldn't be bothered to return the shopping cart to its original location in front of the store.
This afternoon, I was reading "Listen to your Messages" by Rabbi Yissocher Frand and came across the following paragraph about being considerate to others.
"Sometimes when I come to my shiur room, there are not enough chairs for all the bachurim and they have to go to other classes to bring more chairs, I always tell them what Rav Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz would say in a similar situation if a bachur came back with one single chair, 'You bring one chair, you're a shlepper. You bring two chairs, you're a baal chessed.'"
