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?

It might be just meBut that makes me feel quite sad. Not the fact that you got turned down, it's what you're doing about it that's quite upsetting.
I got knocked back by every single girl I asked out right through school, right up until I left sixth form. To be honest, I can't blame them - I was (and still am) a bit of an ugly-mug, and it wasn't helped by the fact I was a bit of a cunt too.
What I'm getting at is that every time I got knocked back, it hurt for a while - it comes with the territory, and it's a risk that you take. But to at least know one way or the other is better than never making the move in the first place.
When I started university, I asked out somebody who, to be honest, was way out of my league. The full story is in a previous QOTW. For the first time in my life though, she took me up on the offer, and we shared together what are surely the best eight years of my life so far.
My point is that if I'd let these knock-backs get to me, I never would have had the fantastic last few years with my ex, and I'd be a worse person for it.
