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?

Do people still hitchhike?
When I was a teenager/early 20s, I used to do it all the time; when I got a car I always picked hitchers up. I've just realised, I haven't seen anyone hitching for years. It is a sign of faith in others to invite some total stranger into your car. I suppose that goes the other way too, after all, the driver could be a psycho!

Good point.
My Granddad always used to pick up hitch hikers, especially as he drove a mini bus, so would always have plenty of room.
I think he thought it was his job or something...

A dead nice lady
picked me and 3 other scruffs up leaving London. She stopped on the Mway hard shoulder, and got nicked by a passing police car, and got a ticket. Bastards.
