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?

No idea if this qualifiesOthers:
Fell in an ice-cold lagoon, fully clothed and somewhat the worse for wear, so: baked, half-canned, having fallen in backwards, utterly disorientated, pitch black, ice cold, clothes now weighing me down like millstones - I start taking on water and struggling to break the surface. My friend Mark without a moments hesitation dives in (being a bit the worse for wear himself) and drags me to the side. Quite simply the closest I've ever come to expiring. I honestly owe the guy my life.
Me:
The worse for wear yet again, on the way home; I encounter two blokes and a girl on Dumbarton road in Glasgow, having just been set about by some utter ned scum. Girl appears to have been punched in the face, and one of the blokes is out cold in the middle of the road with a contusion the size of an apple on his forehead. I pick him up and carry him to the Western Infirmary down the road (saturday night - ambulances tend to be in short supply around then oddly enough). Make sure he's seen to by the triage, head on my way.
Nothing exceptional - I should imagine 99.9% of the people here would do the same.
