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?

Unintentional but...I'd just been turned down by girl who "already had a boyfriend", though that didn't stop her flirting outrageously with a bunch of guys we were with and generally lapping up the attention. None of my business, of course, but it didn't put me in the best of moods, and it showed.
Phoned up a platonic friend the next day for a bit of a moan, and she asked me along to a party she'd been invited to. "Why not," thinks I, "it'll force me to make an effort and stop feeling sorry for myself."
We go to the party and I make straight for the kitchen as it's the best place to meet people. Get chatting to delightful young French lady, we swap emails at the end of the party.
Fast forward six years, we're now married and settled in France. So thank you, Georgina, for the party invitation that changed my life for the better in every way.
