Yes, this happened to me.
So this guy who is extremely annoying came up to me during lunch.
"Hey, Soraya...where are you going?"
"I walk this way so I can walk with Lisa. But I already missed her."
"Can you please do me a favor?"
"Excuse me?"
"Yeah. Please?"
"What is it?"
"Can you go to Ms. P's with me to play a board game? If you play, you get extra credit, and I'm at 88% in my grade. It will take five minutes, I swear."
"Okay. But, you can never be annoying again."
"You know I was just messing with you, right?"
"Uh-huh."
So the game takes about 15 minutes of my valuable lunch time.
You know, if that was someone else, they could have laughed at his face?
But I didn't. Because I'm nice. I believe that he will be nicer, too, but even if he doesn't, I won't care. The reason for that is because it shows him that I am the bigger person.
I felt good about that. And my grade was on the borderline, too.

It's one of the biggest lessons in life. In Korea there's a proverb that says no one can spit at a smiling face. So even if you dislike someone, a stranger, whatnot, it's always beneficial for them to have a good impression on you. You can utilize that to your advantage later on. :)
