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?

I'm not!But, yeah, a lot of people are. I think, really, it all boils down to the term "socialized," which brings back McCarthyism scares and whatnot. Also, politicians get a lot of money from insurance companies, who in turn get a lot of money from drug companies, who in turn get a lot of money from us, the public, who can't afford to go to a decent doctor, so we spend the little money we do have on medicine in hopes that it will make us feel better. I once went to a doctor complaining of severe stomach pains. He sent me home with a prescrption for strong pain meds. Only when I came out of my drug haze did I realize my stomach still hurt. I actually had a bladder infection, which no amount of pain meds can actually fix. The doctor, though, was drinking out of a mug and writing with a pen with drug company logos plastered all over. The system is broken.
