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?

Just thought I'd drop this one inI have the most amazing singing teacher. I've known her since I was 14 - and she's helped me through a few rough patches and still managed to keep it all real.
Two weeks ago she got married.
Earlier in the year - she asked me and a few other girls(just 5 - out of the 47 she teaches) to sing at her wedding.
Got to the first day of the holidays and turned up all ready to sing and she looked all beautiful.
And then today she gave me 50 dollars for singing at her wedding.
I was absolutely stunned. "I would have done it for nothing - you've done lots for me over the last three years." I said. And she just went "Well I'm just married - back from my honeymoon - and me and mr music teacher thought it was only fair. Go spend it however you like."
And I know that it's probably not a lot to other people...but that was a huge amount of money to give a 16 year old student (well in my eyes it is.)
And she refused to let me give it back to her.
So now I'm putting it in the bank to take with me when I go to new zealand in the summer. I'll buy myself something really nice to remember her by (she's leaving next year. :( )
