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?

Recently, we went to the country.Being London-based, that's a bit of an event. We went for a nice walk to make the most of the countryside, and promptly got very, very lost. In my defence, I wasn't in charge of directions. We walked for about an hour, with no real clue as to where we were. I knew we weren't far from the place we needed to be, cos it was in a big valley, and we were still in it.
Looking back, that's not entirely sound logic, but there you go. We emerged onto a road, and decided to ask at the nearest house. The incredibly nice lady inside not only knew where it was we were going, but said she'd drive us there!
She dropped whatever it was she was doing, and drove us 4 miles down the road to our destination. We tried to thank her, and she wouldn't hear of it, insisting it was her pleasure, etc.
Note thee well -- we weren't trying to pay her, offer her a drink or something, but just say thank you!
Nice lady from the house in the middle of nowhere, Wadhurst, Kent, I salute you.
