Read on my lawyer friend's "Liberally Lean In the Land of Dairy Queen" blog about the following practice that has been occurring at the Decatur Starbucks, and I wonder if this is going on anywhere else:

"The person in front of you buys your coffee. What do you do? Well I feel guilty and I buy the person's order behind me. It then turns into a chain. The longest chain has been 33 cars (last time I asked). I stopped buying for the car behind me for a little bit, but I felt too guilty. I feel really bad for the person in front of me because most of the time I have 3 drinks. The person behind me was only $4 so I saved $5 this morning . . . ."

Lol. Only thing is---I can't get coffee too often and I have to drive several different vehicles.

I LOVE this idea, and because I am such a giving, selfless person, I am willing to start our own little Pay It Forward. Here's how it will work:

I am going to order a 52" Sony Plasma from Amazon.com The next person who would like one of these or the flat screen tv of your choice, post their credit card information to pay for mine, and so on.........
