The nicest thing someone's ever done for me
In 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 paid for some custom made alloy wheels from a retailer
who subsequently went into receivership.
The manufacturer had already made the wheels long before the retailer had gone to the receivers, but hadn't passed the (my) money on to the manufacturer. I paid £1400. It was lost.
My father then paid the manufacturer direct to get the wheels for me.
5 years later, I had a loan outstanding of approx £6000, which I owed to my father. Without any warning, he just cancelled the debt. No more to pay.
Mrs T isn't working at the moment, as she has taken 2 1/2 years off work to look after baby T, so the three of us are just surviving on my income only. Out of nowhere, my father just gave me £3000.

That's lovely...
...but have you considered the idea that, given the large sporadic sums of money, your father may also be a bank robber?
