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?

Homeless boy.A week ago I was on my way to the bus stop when I spotted a young homeless boy, who could not have been more than 15. I walked passed him as I was in a hurry, and promised myself that if I saw him again, I'd do something to help him.
Well today I saw him again when going to get my travel card. I got my ticket, then went over to him and asked him if he wanted anything. All he wanted was a milkshake and a packet of crisps. I also noticed we were being watched by two young girls, around his age. I went into the shop, got him his milkshake and crisps, as well as some tissues and Wispa, and went back to him. Those two girls were talking to him and had given him a cigarette. I gave him his goods and walked away, desperately holding back the tears.
It saddens me to see such a young boy out on the streets and cant even begin to imagine what got him there in the first place :(

Would not a call to social services, or whoever, been more useful to him?
