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?

A few years backmy best mate and I got involved in a rather unfortunate scrap outside our local pub with what can only be described as a gang of local neds.
It had been happy hour all night, doubles for the price of a single, and this led to a lot of merry scottish people falling down drunk come closing time. I'm not the sort of person who gets into fights and neither is my mate, but we were drunk, a local twat started on my friend, blows were traded and the next thing we know there's twelve of them on us. I escaped with concussion, one eye swollen shut, a perfect footprint on the top of my head, masses of cuts and bruises and two staples in the back of my bonce. My mate got taken to hospital by ambulance, I was taken in later when my sister in law found me insensible in a blood soaked bed.
However, we can always rely on the kindness of strangers. My then wife's uncle had just started a delivery job for a local butchers, and had answered his phone while in the van to be told of what had happened to me and my friend. His driver, who he had only met that day, asked what was wrong, and when he was told, pulled a SAWN OFF FRIGGING SHOTGUN out from under his seat and said, calmly, "where do they live?"
Yes. There are some very unhinged people in the world, but erm, I suppose it's the thought that counts.
They all apologised to me a year later, by the way. I don't think any shotguns were required.

Almostexactly the same thing happened to me and a freind. Seven chav numbnuts on the two of us, and when they found out who my freind's dad was (head of the local hell's angels)they shat one and found us in our local to 'apologise'.
Never heard such an ingenuine sorry in my life, and as soon as they had finished their arse licking, I told them to Fuck off. May sound like a stupid thing to have done, but it's the principal, and the compaensation they were ordered to pay me by the courts was apology enough for me, especially since it came just before Christmas !!

It's amazingwhat makes people say sorry isn't it. I hate that when you see people giving someone else shit and then to rub it in they insist on shaking hands afterwards as if it makes them a better person. Cunts.
