It was one of those things where their wasn't an opening for a gesture without intruding so I just skipped it. 2) Very well said.

Maybe there was a time I felt obligated to say something nice to a woman like that. Super nice guy that I am. Then I moved away from that, realizing, like you said, that that orientation is kind of self-important. But then, you don't have to be 'somebody' to be kind. Without taking too much on, you can always slide by her, give her a piece of gum and a smile or something and move on. I've been on the receiving end of that kind of gesture before -me and Blanche Dubois- I've always appreciated it. Tough call.
