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?

Surprise birthday party!Nothing earth shattering, but it was much needed at the time. I'd just lost my job in Sheffield and moved down to stay with my parents while I looked for a new house near my new job. (Incidentally don't ever work in the computer games industry.. crappy pay, mad hours and frick all job stability!) Having just spent the best part of 9 years in Sheffield after university I basically had to abandon all my good friends and social life and was feeling a bit low. (Getting cups of tea from my folks to get me out of bed in the morning was ace, but it isn't quite the same as being around all you uni mates)
Thankfully a few of my old school friends got together and threw me a surprise birthday party! :-) Yay.. proper presents to rip wrappings off and everything! I felt a lot better about life after that and stopped being so morose about life. If you know someone is down in the dumps, throw them a massive party and make them feel loved!

"don't ever work in the computer games industry"Amen to that. Amen.
Wasted 11 years of my life in that industry, god knows why...
