Problem: Now I ' m not renowned for my emotional side but this really gets to me , for some reason . Likewise , when driving up here yesterday , I saw a man whose car had broken down trying to push it over the kerb and onto the sidewalk out of the road . As he was having difficulty getting it over the kerb , another man rushed across the road , quick as a flash , and lent a hand . These people had never met before but had joined together in a common goal , without words being exchanged and without any bargaining taking place beforehand .

Why has this series of events led to an activation of the speaker 's hypoactive emotional side ?

A: The display of basic human kindness was something they had never seen before , but they liked it

Problem: There was an older Frenchman ahead of me in line . He only had one item to purchase , French bread of course ( I am not kidding ) . They buy it every day but I 'll mention that later . This poor sap had the misfortune of picking up a loaf that had a blurry UPC code .

Why is the older man buying the bread from the store .

A: It reminds him of his local cuisine .

Problem: Things were in full swing by the time we got there and the food was ready . We planted our chairs near the one table were everyone was gathered around and just had a great time relaxing , visiting with people and enjoying the beautiful day . Now it feels like summer is upon us , I look at their cook out as the " kick off to the summer season " .

Why are the friends and narrator so loose ?

A:
The hot weather is here .
