Old middle eastern lady called me habibi once in a checkout line..
Still think about that sometimes

She called me her bodyguard. I ascended immediately to heaven.

Helping people can be the most selfish thing you can do hehe

We have Syrian, Iraqi, and others who have recently come to our country. (When I say we and our I also mean them)
My fence is covered in grape leaves from about April to September. I get lots of people around the neighbourhood that come by to take them.
Last year one old dude came and started picking them. I got up to say hello.
He spoke no English.
He said some things and made some gestures and I kinda got the gist.
Went inside got him some water and a cloth.
He drank and wiped his hands.
Shook my hand and said habibi.
I almost cried.

I’m friends with two siblings who frequently refer to any/all of their friends as ‘habibi’ and it makes me feel warm fuzzies every time.
