This is a question 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?

Budapest Homeless Help
Cuthbert Annihilator's story reminded me of a night out in Budapest in 2007.

I was over there for a few nights with a coupld of mates and we went on the beer on the first night and decided to venture further than the hostel bar.

We ended up trying a few bars (one of which was staffed by the Mafia, another kicked us out for no reason). In the end we were wandering around the a strange city, not knowing the language and were totally lost, admittedly it was a good tour tho, and my mate took a piss in a Hilton (a fact which he's still proud of).

By this point we were totally lost and the streets were totally deserted (3am ish). We finally ran into a local homeless guy on the streets and I had the flash of inspiration to ask him how to get back to the hostel! This genius was instantly crushed beneath the small fact that he didn't speak English, and we didn't speak Hungarian...

Fucksocks and cuntybollocks...

I then remember reading through the travel guide to the city and recalling that the second language is usually German, this is good thinks I as I have a GCSE in German...

The guy also spoke German, this was also a happy bonus, however, in my drunken state I could ask for where where I wanted to go, I could not understand the directions given...

Double cuntybollocks...

this guy then takes us back to the hostel having accepted no cash and having no clear promise of cash so when we got back we gave him 500 forints (just shy of £2).

It restored my health in humanity and so I tend to buy a big issue whenever out now...

I'm also going to apologise for length but it was worth it for the sights!
