This is a question The nicest thing someone's ever done for me

In 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?

"I'm talking about the grassroots value system you see at the community level"
You mean like shotgun weddings, racist lynchings, loveless marriages, rampant homophobia, xenophobia and general bigotry, and strict, brutal upbringing for children?

nope
I'm talking about the humane system of co dependance - a value system which regulates itself out of necessity to treat your fellow man as you would yourself - the barter system which existed way before the introduction of finance, city state civilizations and the beaurocratic bullshit which comes with it - this isn't some ideological fantasy

the examples you've given are aberrations either as a result of religious dogma or skewed group political ideology
