That was nice of you. When I said what I did it was from the perspective of doing it for currying some sort of favor rather than doing it to be kind as it sounds that you did.

I’m not quite as bad as I sound. Although usually construction guys bring water, etc. with them and therefore don’t usually need someone to hand them drinks, the ‘undocumented immigrants’ who do yard work around here often don’t, usually because they don’t own a car and are on foot or a bicycle. Although I won’t hire them, a neighbor did and this one guy was working out there all day on a very hot day with no apparent water jug so in that case I went over and handed the guy some cold drinks.
