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?

Random acts of kindness
if you've read 'join me' by danny wallce then you'll have a good idea of my story...
Every Friday i do one random nice thing for someone, it can be as little as holding a door open or buying someone a drink in a pub(just because they happen to have an empty glass at the time). I do other things too, it usually depend son the moment.
It just goes to show that giving a pack of cookies to a complete stranger because they looked a little bit sad, or moody, is quite awesome...although the looks on their faces can be odd.

Random acts of kindness
and senseless beauty are the best sort.

They really make you realise what it is to be a human being.

Awesome
We NEED more people like You out there in this world. There used to be a time when people did this kind of thing just 'because'...it's cliched but it would TRULY be a better world if more people practice this...and not just on a Friday, but every day.]

Cheers!

I agrees with your idea (apart from cookies... would you eat some food a stranger gave you?) excpet..
"it can be as little as holding a door open" - On a Thursday would you be letting it go in their face?

and i usually hold the door for people, that was just an example

I read join me & joined up
When I lived in France, we used to play random acts of kindness. Buying ice creams for folks on hellish hot days. The smile from the beautiful but tired sales girl is one I will never forget.
