The nicest thing someone's ever done for meIn amongst all the tales of bitterness and poo, we occasionally get fluffy stories that bring a small tear to our internet-jaded eyes.
In celebration of this, what is the nicest thing someone's done for you? Whether you thoroughly deserved it or it came out of the blue, tell us of heartwarming, selfless acts by others.
Failing that, what nice things have you done for other people, whether they liked it or not?

Peter's hatMany years ago I was out on a boat fishing with my mate Peter. I had about a dozen or so good mates back then, although Peter was probably the one I was closest to. We were doing fairly well on the fishing front that day but the wind was picking up. One sudden gust lifted Peter's hat off his head and dumped it in the waves. This was Peter's favourite hat - from memory it had his collection of lures and flies hooked into it oldschool, not that we needed them because most of our fishing was done with 'square hooks' back in those days.
Anyway, Peter was displeased about his hat blowing away. I had a bit of a reputation as a do-gooder at that stage of my life and I figured that I'd be a hero and help him out. So I stood up and jumped over the side of the boat and took a couple of really quick steps towards Peter's hat. Except it didn’t go as planned and I started sinking as soon as I touched the water. I spluttered and floundered my way to the surface and there was Peter the prick laughing his head off. 'Hahaha. Jesus, I thought you could walk on water' he scoffed. Pissed off by this I said 'Get stuffed you noddy. I forgot about the holes in my feet'.
