Ap7, I had never met or seen this guy, ever. A female drive thru teller assisted me with my deposit. Its not a branch I visit often as its not near my home. And, being a married female, I'm not looking to cultivate a friendship with this man.
Understood, up to a point, but then, I have numerous folks around that I consider practically family and in all humility, I literally see the human race as nearly 8 billion folks I could be pals with under optimal conditions. I'm sure plenty of folks look at me askance sometimes when I'm helpful, but then, as the saying goes, unto the pure, all things are pure, others dwell in impurity. That's based on Titus 1:15 "To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled."
Your concern might be warranted, sure, but what if the situation was simply a pure hearted noble person that's a bit gung ho and want's to bust their chops and do the best for the bank and it's customers? I've ran across many people like that in my time. Also ran into many filled with fear and literally afraid of their own shadows, and suffering life in a constant state of various agonies.
I'll put it another way, I occasionally offer to be helpful when I see a need, and sure, plenty of times, the potential recipient will not engage in the process. No problem, that being said, it sure feels good when I'm able to buy a young lady a car and now she's management somewhere and she plus her two kids are in a seriously better state of affairs than they'd likely be otherwise. And no, I don't particularly care what her ex, father, mother, not sisters think. When I came across them, I decided they were a cool outfit, so I adopted them went a door down to get some munchies at one of my client's restaurants.
Her ex apparently did not and does not care about her and the children's well being, her sisters are to busy to try for the most part, and her father is literally a cross between a career criminal and a gigilo. So I asked her if she'd like to come by another of my client's dealerships and look for something she needed, the rest is history.
I noticed you used the word relationship, there are very many types of relationships possible. For all I know, somebody sometimes thinks I'm up to some "nefarious creepy ideas..." I had someone call the local police about me talking to a young boy in restaurant, two officers showed up. When it was all over, the owner of the restaurant (my client), the officers and I were laughing about how pitiful whoever had called them must be. I love that whole family, like many others, for crying out loud. And yes, the one who called saw and heard everything that happened. I learned a little about being aware of my surroundings working as a spook in the Navy, hopefully the poor dear troubled person who cannot conceive the idea of people simply liking each other at least has a clue that indeed, it is possible for human beings to simply like each other and get along and not have issues, not need drama, and above all live with dignity. Unprofessional perhaps, but then, families, communities, and the best elements of humanity are far and away superior to so called professionalism in terms of results.
