Or to just be nice to people in general, and eventually good karma will come back to you. I give cold bottled water to the Jehovah's Witnesses that come around every year in the heat of the summer, I make sure and thank and leave cards w/small gifts for my UPS and FedEx regular drivers and postpeople/mailpeople, etc.

Even yelling "Thank you!" through my front window (near my computer desk) when the UPS guy drops-and-runs a package can make a big difference.

Say please and thank you as a matter of habit, to show people in service industries that you appreciate the work they do, that saves time and effort on your part.
